More Ocean City

I know I said I wouldn't bore anyone, but I just can't resist. Here are more pics. of O.C.. What a great time we had. Did I mention we will be spending the whole summer down there in a few years? Oh yeah, I did. Unfortunately we won't be spending another week there until the end of August, but I'm headed there tomorrow for one more night. I just can't stay away.

Vacation

Well, we are back from a week in Ocean City. I won't bore everyone with all the exciting, amazing, & fun daily details, but it was GREAT! My brother Doug, my sister in-law Leah, & my nephew Matt even got to come the first 2 days. We did do the rides, Jolly Roger Waterpark, & by the end of the week Brooke was doing "cannon balls" at the pool. Brooke & I have already decided in a few more years, we are living down the beach for the entire summer!

Baptism, Old House, & Rita's

Today we had our nephew Jake's Baptism (finally he's only 9 yrs. old)! The cool thing about it though, is he is old enough to remember and to pick his own Godparents. He asked Matt & I about a month ago if we would do the honors. Of course we said yes. It was nice and he even sang a solo in Church.

Afterwards my brother Doug & I wanted to go do a "walk through" of our old house we grew up in that is for sale. It was exciting, alittle strange, and sad all at the same time. I took Brooke in with me and of course she had a million questions. It really brought back alot of memories. They really did a excellent job renovating it. The best part of all was when we went into the basement and my name is still spray painted on the wall! My brother took a pic. for me. Cool.

Then my nephew Matt, Brooke, and Brody & I ended our day with a jeep ride to Rita's. Yummy!

I Love My Brother

Brooke is such a great big sister. Sometimes it's really hard for me to believe she is only 4 years old. I honestly could not do it some days without her! The kids are at that age now where they are starting to actually play together & they want to always be with one another. Brooke has basically moved into Brody's room and sleeps there EVERY night. Today we finally put the top bunk on the bunkbeds and as you can imagine, it was a hit. Brooke sleeps on the bottom and Brody is still in his crib, but before long I know they will be sleeping in the bunkbed together. Tonight before bed, Brooke brushed Brody's teeth and then they had to lay together in the bunkbed for alittle while before they went to bed. I think it is so sweet & pray they will grow up and have a close relationship. Sweet dreams.

Emergency

Emergency, Emergency!!!! We had an emergency at our house today, Brooke's dollhouse was on fire. No worries though, the Brooke & Brody fire dept. showed up and took care of everything.

Actually Mommy & Daddy need a little emergency help. Daddy can't move because he pulled his back out working so hard getting the condo ready. Today Mommy went to the Doctor's for a sinus infection & ended up having to miss work. Not only do I have a sinus infection, they had to flush both of my ears out and I was there for 2 1/2 hours!!! So after my Z Pack, a Doctor's note and lots and lots of nausea, I think we all will make it!!

Tip of the Day: Never ever clean your ears with a Q-Tip!
