Mother's Day Out!!

Lawson started Mother's Day Out this past Monday. He will go Monday and Thursdays from 9-130p. We went the Friday before to meet his teacher and for him to see his classroom. He immediately went in and started with playing with the toys so we thought that was a good sign. On Monday morning, I got my little boyall dressed and packed ready to go to school. I talked it up the whole way telling him he was going to get to play with new friends and have so much fun. He even was saying in the car "yay kool". When we walked in he started jumping up and down in excitement then pulling me down the hall. He went right into his room and started playing so I made a quick exit. His teacher said he did great and that he cried off and on but that was to be expected for a few weeks until he gets adjusted. I SOOOO enjoyed my free time. I went to Wal-Mart and got my car wash....ALL BY MYSELF!!!!!!!!

Well, Thursday didn't go as great as Monday...which I expected. He realized that when we goes to school, mommy leaves for a while. So as soon as we walked in the door he started crying and then went into hysterics when I dropped him offin his room. I just kissed him bye and left. I waited out in the hallway for a few minutes just to make sure he calmed down, and he did. I went to pickhim up and much to my surprise he was in the hallway with one of his teachers playing. He decided instead of nap time it was dance party time. The teacher said he was yawning and wiping his eyes and soon as they laid him down and turned on the lullaby music he jumped up and started dancing. Oh well, at least he was happy. They had Kona Ice day at school so he came home with a nice red mustache so maybe he was just hopped onsugar to sleep!

Hoping every week gets better and better!!

Melts My Heart

The other day I gave Lawson a ball to play with and he looked at me and said "Thank You Momma!" I almost cried because it was so sweet. Then today I gave him his milk cup and he did the same thing! What a joy he is in my life!!!

Lately....

So I realized it has been over a month since I blogged. So I will just give a quick recap of what's been going on with us.

Right after the 4th of July, we got some bad news that my father in law has lung cancer. So after numerous tests they confirmed that is was a tumor in his lung but that it was the least aggressive and most responsive to treatment. They biopsied his lymph nodes and while doing that they said it had moved to his liver. So now it is considered Stage 4. He just received his 1st round of chemo, Friday, and will receive treatment once every 3 weeks for 9 weeks. After that, he will have another pet scan and confirm that it has not moved anywhere else. Then he will begin radiation. So needless to say it has been quite a stressful few weeks of just waiting to hear what the next step is. Any prayers are appreciated because this is going to be a long road.

We took our annual trip to the beach. We had a lot of fun but most of it was waiting to hear what was happening with my father in law. Lawson and Cole had a blast together. So all in all it was a fun trip!

The next few weekends were filled with a company party, family reunion/wedding shower and birthday party.

We don't have any travel plans for a while but are weekends have been filled with all sort of things to do. We have a birthday party this weekend, Mitch turns the BIG 3-0 on the 20th, then next thing I know, it will be time to celebrate my little one's 2 year old birthday!! Can't believe he will be 2 next month!

That's about it with us. Hope everyone has had a good summer and getting ready for football season and cooler weather!!!
