Hapa Day Dear Tatrick!

Patrick is now 2 years old. We celebrated his birthday on February 10 with cake, icecream, presents (sleeping bag, hot wheel cars, head flashlight, and bat and ball), a movie and a campout in the familyroom with tent and all! Athough at 11:30 with Leonard asleep on the couch, Lenny cranky because Patrick would not sit still and be quiet so he could go to sleep and me not being very comfortable on the flooor-I vetoed the "campout", put the boys in their own beds, got in my bed and left Leonard on the couch. In all though I think PAtrick had a good birthday. He will still walk around sometimes trying to sing Happy Birthday to himself.

First Ever Week Alone

Leonard went on his first official business trip last week. So, Lenny, Patrick, Dash(the dog), and I were on our own from Sunday night until late Friday night. It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. My friend watched the boys for 3 hours Wednesday afternoon and then invited us to stay for dinner. So we had a nice midweek break. I was most concerned about Leonard taking the cellphone with him. Calling my mom or my sister with my free minutes is usually what I do for a little break from the kids when needed. But without Leonard taking the phone we would not have been able to get a hold of each other. I made it without the phone and was able to enjoy a nightly phone with Leonard after the kids were in bed.

My First Blog Post

Okay Shannon! I started a blog page! Hopefully this should be as easy as you make it seem to keep up. My old website I have not touched in two years...wait maybe it has been three.
