We are doing MUCH better today! Poor little Lucy was miserable yesterday, for the first time in her little life she had moments when she was inconsolable. Finally about 9:30 she passed out but she was restless all night. When she woke up this morning she seemed to be feeling much better. I am hoping all 3 of us enjoy a long nap here in a few minutes!
So, on to the snakes! We went to a very cool reptile show in Evansville last Saturday. Bruce wanted to go there and to a blues festival to celebrate Father's Day, so off we went.
The reptile show was great. Many, many different types of snakes (a favorite of mine), some turtles and even a few lizards. Griffin had the opportunity to hold all different kinds of reptiles - not even a hint of hesitation from him, our brave little guy. There was even an old drunk (we strongly suspected) guy giving a seminar about snakes. He kept eating circus peanuts that Bruce and I thought sure were supposed to be for the snakes and talking about how he could be rented for birthday parties. Uhhhh, yeah, I am thinking NO WAY!

It was held at a nature center so afterward we were able to take a walk in the cool damp woods - so refreshing!! We are very glad to have found this place and know we will have many more adventures there.
I will try to post some blues fest pics tomorrow....off to dreamy land, hopefully!

Yikes! I do not like snakes. No way would I be that close to them. I'm impressed that Griffin dove right into them. But it probably helps that Mama and Papa like them too.

The photos make it look like an amazing exhibit. So happy to hear you had a wonderful Father's Day weekend together.

Poor Lucy. Hopefully all the effects of the vaccines are done and over with and she can get some rest. Sometimes it can take up to a week or more before all symptoms from them go away. I'm sure you'll be dreading the next time she needs the shots. For the next round she'll be bigger and stronger and her body can be ready for them. I'm sending her lots of hugs and kisses from us to make her feel better.

Dr. Seuss Party, Part 1 Decor and Food

I have to say,  Bruce and I totally knocked ourselves out to throw Lucy the best Dr. Seuss 4th birthday party that we could and I am pretty proud of the results!  It was a wonderful day for her and hopefully for all her friends that came. Our kids have LOVED the story The Lorax for a while now and were so excited to go see the movie.  Bruce had a brilliant idea to make his own truffula trees .  With some PVC pipe and spray paint he put these together.  I made the tops out of tissue paper (tutorials widely available).  Of course, once I got started on them, I just had to make some extras to hang around the dining room.  I used the extra paper to make a super colorful one for the front porch.  These were so easy and cheap to make, I highly recommend them as party decorations for all different types of themes!   I printed out some of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes and gussied them up with some fancy paper cutters (Thanks, ...

Griffin is 20 today.

I can't believe we've arrived here...I can't believe I am old enough to have a 20 year old son!  He is a full grown adult and absolutely living life his own way, on his own terms and doing it quite well.  Griffin is living in a small town in Germany with his girlfriend and 2 cats.  He is currently in a nursing program that also allows him to work in their local hospital (his school/work life is completely in German!)  He's been able to spend some time traveling around Germany, exploring his community, and forming lovely connections with his girlfriend's family.  While we miss him so very much, we are so proud of him and the way he is making it happen.  And of course, hoping for a visit very soon!  Happy Birthday, Griffin.  We love you!

Griffin is 19.

My heart is all jumbled up on this big day.  Last July, Griffin moved to Muhlhausen; Germany to attend university and live with his love, Alicia.     He has regaled us with stories of exploring Berlin, using the train system on his one hour/each way commute every day to school,  embracing the traditions and holidays of his new community,  learning to live independently and all the responsibilities it entails and perhaps the biggest challenge of all...becoming fluent in German.   I am so proud of him.  This is what we raised him for, to be independent, to have big dreams, to work hard to make your goals a reality.  I am stunned by his bravery, joyful at his quest for adventure and impressed by his commitment.  And today, like most everyday, I carry a deep ache to hug my son, to go to bed and know he is tucked in safely just a few feet away, to make him a birthday fruit pizza and snap pictures when he blows out the candles.  I wi...
