Let's see....
In April we went to Zac Brown Band. LOVE their music!
Around May 18th was the week I got poison sumac. We have it all over the farm.
On May 21st I had my gallbladder out.
On May 30th or so my Uncle Gary passed away.
It had been a busy couple of weeks there and I found myself slumping into a little bit of depression I think. I also think I was just missing my friends quite a bit. Anywho!
A few weekends ago we went to the OKC Memorial. I had been on a teacher continuing education stint back in the day where we got to tour behind the scenes, see the archives, and also listen to a survivor plus hear the man who caught Timothy McVeigh tell his recount. Rusty and I had gone when we first started dating but he had never been inside the museum. When Charles Barkley commented that every one should make a point to see the Memorial, I thought that should include my husband and child. So, off we went on Ryne's first museum trip. Rusty was very impressed.
Seeing Rusty's shirt in the pictures above reminded me of something. We went to a Redhawks game one evening and didn't get a playbill when we went in. While we were walking around I suggested we grab one. Sitting at the game, Rusty flipped through it to find that if we took our tickets to the Newcastle Casino we could get a free throwback shirt. Not just ANY shirt, it was a free RYNE SANDBERG throwback shirt. The very man our son was named after! So, off we went into the smoky abyss to claim our free shirts. We were super excited. We don't go to casinos nor gamble but since we were there Rusty handed me a $20. I tripled my money on a penny machine and then I was out of there! They gave me a free shirt plus another free $40! Suckers! :o)
Father's Day was amazing. After breakfast Rusty and Ryne took a nap and slept for 3 whole hours! Momma worked around the house. Then we went to Rusty's dads and cooked out and swam. This was Ryne's first time in a pool and he absolutely loved it.
We have a small pool for him but haven't set it up yet. We had a couple of cool nights here recently. Plus, we have FIVE stray pups running around. (Today only 2 as 3 have since wondered off).
Ryne is growing and changing by leaps and bounds. He is wanting to stand, stand, stand and walk, walk, walk. Only thing, he wants YOU to be involved in him doing it. He loves his books and is also crawling up on things.
Today we went back to the dermatologist and thankfully the ARNP that we previously saw called in the actual dermatologist to make sure he was doing what he should. I was a little pissed when we went to Ryne's 9 month appointment and his pediatrician asked how long he had been on the hydrocortisone he was prescribed. He had been on it for a month and a half. Found out from the pediatrician that you are only supposed to use it for no more than two weeks or it will start to thin the skin out. I was very upset about that and so was he. I'm hoping what they are doing this time will help. Seven months is too long for this in my opinion.
I got another vehicle in March. It's used but is "new" to me. We don't drive it a lot because who wants to drive something that gets half the gas mileage that the Prius does?!? LOL It's a 2006 Pacifica and it's pretty much loaded out. I'm not big on leather seats but they will be easier to clean once Ryne gets a little older. The built in DVD will be nice but I'm not big on him watching much TV anyway. We mainly got it for longer trips as the Prius is nice and big but not when you load in a pack and play, stroller, and luggage etc. So, I have my "Momma Wagon" now. :o) It is super comfortable and roomy, that's for sure!
Here are just some random pictures. One is of my nephew, Brad, and Ryne. These pictures are rare as my nephew doesn't like to be in pictures!
Thanks for the updates! I love the napping picture too and the library one :)....But all of them are great! I sure miss you bunches
