I mean, really?

I don't even know where to start. I haven't blogged in SO long. I've seriously contemplated giving it up. But... alas, here I am again.

James and I have been on vacation! I took 6 whole days off work. Man, did I need that! It was our five year anniversary - crazy. We decided to drop Kaitlyn off at my parents and head for the mountains. We spent 4 days in Ruidoso, New Mexico. It was wonderful! We had our own little cabin up there and just chilled out. We played golf, went to a casino (didn't win anything, but only lost $20), saw a movie, went on a hike, I got to read an entire book, saw lots of deer, did some shopping, ate yummy Italian and Mexican food, took naps, watched football.... it was a great time away. I was sure ready to see Kaitlyn though! I really miss that girl!

We got Kaitlyn and headed home on Monday night - then Kaitlyn got sick. Welcome home! She ran a fever, "threw it out" (threw up), for 2 days. I did take her to the doctor, but she is fine now. I'm glad she's feeling better, and I'm glad we were back when she got sick - not that my parent's couldn't have handled it, but I'm glad I was there to take care of her. She hardly ever gets sick.

James also had to go to the dentist when we got back. He's had broken tooth for awhile, but it really started hurting him while we were gone. So, he needs a root canal and a crown. Nice!

The fair is in town! Hopefully we will get to go tonight or tomorrow night. Kaitlyn loves riding rides and playing games.

She is still loving gymnastics. She does cartwheels and handstands ALL of the time. She's pretty good at them too!

James' little Butterflies soccer team is back in full effect! He had to miss their first game of the season last Saturday, but they won - so he was proud. This will be his 3rd season with these same girls. He loves it and I know they all love him - so here's to another fun run!

I'm still feeling pretty good - for the most part.. 25 weeks and counting. This little girl moves around ALL THE TIME. Way more than I remember Kaitlyn moving. Literally, all night she moves. That makes it very hard to sleep! My body just doesn't feel as strong this time around. Exercise is out of the question, and I'm way more uncomfortable. I know I will forget about all of this the second she is here, but it stinks right now! :)

I guess that's about it for now. I'll try and upload some pictures from our trip this afternoon or tomorrow. It really was beautiful!

One week from today.... Grey's Anatomy and The Office!!!!!!!

Hey Leslie-
I'm glad you're back. I was starting to wonder what was going on?? The mountains! That sounds like an awesome getaway for you guys. I am so glad that you got to spend some time alone with James. Glad you're back!

Glad you had a good trip to the mountains. I always enjoy an update from casademayo. We do go to church together and all, but we never have time for the full update! Where does Kaitlyn go to gymnastics? I think Ava would like that. She's only 2 so she may be too young. I need more details. . .

Don't you dare give up blogging! I have hit some ruts lately too. But those of us that live far away still want to be able to keep up with your family. So we are happy to get these little updates (even if they aren't quite as frequent as we would like). Glad you had a nice vacation!

YEA!! I am glad to see you back!

How fun is a vacation!?! I am so glad you and James got to get away and relax and play! I am so jealous! Too bad he had to come back and go to the dentist. I avoid that at all costs!!

I am glad you are feeling okay. I can't wait to see some more pictures of your cutest self, and of that sweet baby girl in only 15 more weeks!!!
