Baby Belly Laughs

  You can't help but laugh when twelve week old Natalie discovers the giggles hidden inside.  It's her very first belly laugh and I'll always be grateful that the camera was nearby!

Last Week

Image
 This was the last week of my summer break from my school job. I missed everyone and the structure, but I wouldn’t say I was ready to give up the freedoms of summer.  This was Dakota’s last week of summer break and also his last week of high school training camp…ever. Our first preseason game of his senior year is tomorrow.   This week I fulfilled my promise to take my oldest granddaughter, Natalie -age 12, to DC to take her time in the Natural History Museum so she could read all the things. We spent two whole hours in the gems and stones section while she soaked up every little bit of knowledge she could about what she was seeing. She was a pleasure to be around and I enjoyed being with her. On the way home we stopped to get Rebecca’s new glasses. She just went to the eye doctor and discovered she has very poor vision. I sat with her as she saw the world clearly for the first time and she was most amazed that the carpet was made of “strings” and not just a blob.  A...

A Different Kind of Summer

Tuesday is August first and I am waist deep in homeschool planning, which is nothing new.  I am also planning for three classes that I now teach at a homeschool tutorial so that's a bit different, but the biggest change I would say is that this summer not only am I learning what it's like to be off work for a few months and home again every day, but I also do not have any daycare kids in the house.  I think for just about the first time in almost 30 years I do not have any little people coming to spend the day with us for fun in the sun.  The good thing about that is that there is no alarm clock most days, Dakota sleeps in and I get much more work done.  It's quieter.  The hubby isn't on me for daycare chaos and I don't have to plan activities to keep anyone busy.  The bad thing is also that I don't have to plan activities to keep anyone busy.  Gone for now (until my granddaughters are a bit older) are the "summer camp" days of Koda and his friends doi...

Hot Date

My husband and I had a belated birthday date planned Saturday and I was really excited about it.  We left the house around 1pm and took the light rail into the city and then walked down to the harbor to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. for lunch.  It's a new attraction in Baltimore City, but we had to wait for a table, so it must be popular.  It turned out to be a fun place with great quirky ambiance, fun and friendly staff and good food. I got Shrimper's Heaven, which was coconut shrimp, breaded shrimp and cold steamed shrimp in 3 upright basket with an additional flute of fries.  My husband got shrimp scampi over linguine and we both enjoyed out meals and the fun conversation we had with a wide eyed, eager young man who was working for the summer from Serbia and was asking about the "match" we were going to in our Orioles shirts. We walked back up to the ball park and took our seats under the scoreboard in section 92 just as the National Anthem got underway.  We enjoye...
