Off Track with my Goal of 3 Postings a Week

Yes, it has been awhile since I have written anything. I do have a good excuse though. My computer somehow contracted some horrible viruses. It was very sick but is feeling much better now! For a little catching up....Last weekend over the 4th, sadly enough we didn't even see any fireworks. We spent Saturday and Sunday at Steve and Holly's lakehouse. Saturday was a little chilly for my liking especially for being in the water. The kids still played in the sand and went tubing though. We also ate lots of good food. I think Holly had enough food to feed a small army! After a day of playing and relaxing, the kids went to bed and the adults (Steve, Holly, Scott, Kami, Ryan and I) spent some time at the fire. Sunday dawned a little overcast but ended up being warmer than Saturday. I did get in the water to go tubing and to witness Casey's first experience kneeboarding. My tubing experience was fun but I ended up with a black eye. I happened to be holding Taelor between my legs and we went over some rough water and her head came back and smacked me in the eye. Oh well...black eyes make you look tough right? And Casey's kneeboarding...I was so impressed. First, I was amazed that he actually would try it. He's usually pretty cautious about things like that. He got up and stayed up for a bit. I was afraid that he would be really scared when he fell off but he told me when he was done that the scarier part was going over bumpy water. He wasn't scared when he fell in. Sunday we packed up to come home and this week has been busy but good. Wednesday we went swimming at Kim Tam with the cousins. I was so amazed by how wonderfully they all played. There was really no fighting and the best part was that they entertained each other so we moms could sit and chat! The worst part is that Audrey spent a large majority of the first hour shivering and I think ended up with a cold because of it. Last night was NOT a great sleeping night for her which means that it was not a good sleeping night for me either. Argh! She is taking a good nap now so hopefully that means she will sleep better tonight and not keep me up coughing for hours. Time to get something together for supper and wake her up so she's not up until midnight!
