Sad and Happy Things

Yesterday was a sad day for daddy and gmom.  James Edward Maxfield, Rick's grandfather and gmom's daddy past away late Monday night.  He was loved by many and lived a very full life.  Although he will be missed, we hope he is at peace now and with his own mom and dad and rest of his family.  xoxo

Keeping on the "sad things note"...I AM STILL PREGGERS!"  what the heck is this all about little, sweet girl?!?!  You are super cozy and giving mommy lots of extra rest before you make your grand entrance.  You seem to have a mind of your own already, but I am very anxious to meet you and this little personality!  Any time now, really, it will be just fine!  ;)

HAPPY day today....Liam went to school again with no tears, but instead seemed very excited.  Mommy left and went to get my haircut (just a trim with some long layers), a pedi, and some yummy breakfast.  Now, I am sitting with my feet up on the couch now after an awesome night's sleep last night.  Life is pretty good right now and I know I will be longing for this time in a week or so!

This time next week we should be getting released from the hospital to come home!  I am really anxious to get started into our daily routines, that I know will be complete madness in the beginning!  I want to ENJOY every minute of this baby time.  With Liam, everything was so new and scary.  I am hoping to be MUCH more relaxed with this one!  We shall see!

I have discovered selling stuff on Craigslist...could be my new addiction.  So easy and hopefully will be productive financially!  ;)  Just posted two strollers last night.  Let's hope we get some inquiries!!!

Liam has been a VERY good boy this week!  On Monday, we went to a friend's house for a "College Teams Playdate".  Mommy forgot until that morning that he was supposed to wear some college gear, so she dressed you in an 18 month Villanova jersey Aunt Kristen had gotten for you when you were born...a little snug but did the trick!  Here is a picture of you having fun jumping on the trampoline with your buddy Cole.

So cute! That afternoon you took a LONG nap and we went to the park.  You are SOOOO interested in playing and "talking" to the "big boys".  It truly amazes me how sweet they usually are to you!  You found two buddies that played football with you.  They would give you the ball and you would run it to the other boy and give it to him....it was really adorable.  You were in heaven playing with them!  Then we went to Market St. and home to make and eat dinner.  Yesterday we went to the library for Storytime and you were SOOOO well behaved.  I think you have a crush on the woman who presents on Tuesday...you are ALWAYS really good on Tuesday, but Thursday, you seem like you just want to get out of there and could care less.  You just stare at this lady the whole time!  It is really cute.  We played for a little bit, looking at books.  You also love to sit at the computer and pretend like you are "talking on the mouse"...some serious business calls!  ;)  We then went to Stonebriar and you played for a little bit.  Then we ate Chick Fil A for lunch and went to Target to buy a new Blues Clues movie.  Yours went missing and every day since you have been asking for "puppy", so I had to get a replacement.  We came home after a long morning and you watched part of the movie and went down for a nap.  I had ot wake you up at 4:45 and we went out front to play with some of the kiddos on the street.  You LOVE Brendan next door and ran right over to his house carrying your sidewalk chalk and pumpkin???...not sure what the pumpkin was for, but you HAD to bring it!  They went in to eat dinner and then we played with Hudson for a bit.  He is 14 months and you were VERY sweet to him...sharing your car and your chalk.  Then it was dinner and bed again.  You have been sleeping in until AT LEAST 8 am...some days 9!  Sleepy head!  Love you so much and I am so proud of what a big boy you are becoming!

We are looking forward to gmom coming to Dallas on Saturday.  It will be a crazy week, but it will be very nice for Liam time with his gmom.

Have a great rest of the week everyone!!!  :-)
