Azheimer's Walk and Breastfeeding Challenge

-


We had a nice weekend. The weather was weird. First rainy and then hot and sticky. Where is fall? We had a week of chilly temperatures and now it's not so great. Oh well, enough about the weather.
Saturday we woke early (as usual. Sam has been waking around 5:30AM lately!!!!) and got ready for the Alzheimer's Walk. We had done it last year when I was very pregnant and I was looking forward to doing it this year without that extra burden. It was fun, but I think that Sam wished he was still in womb. He yelled at me from his backseat in the stroller for a good portion of the walk. It's all for a good cause though.
After the walk we headed over to the Farmer's Market downtown to participate in the 2007 Breastfeeding Challenge. It was great fun and we saw several friends there. We ate delicious food while we waited and then joined in the breastfeeding group on the lawn. We had over 100 mamas there!
That afternoon we rested and then headed over to Freddie's and then a pitstop at Toys R Us to grab some bubbles off the clearance rack before they disappeared for the winter. Davis needs his bubbles you know.
Yesterday we spent the day in San Marcos and had a wonderful time choosing colors for the exterior of our house and having a glorious Sunday lunch with Mom, Dad, Grandma and Gramp. Last night was our sitter night and we met Marchelle at Primizie Osteria, a new restaurant that we love on the east side.
It was a very nice weekend with family. Michael just found out he's going to Dallas this week as well as the last two weeks of the month, so I'm glad we got to spend this weekend doing such fun things.
Ahhh, Sam just woke up so I have to run. Love, Amber

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
