Happy Monday to you! Happy new week to you!And happy 3rd birthday to our bunny boys, Earl Grey and Clementine! (A pic from their birthday party last year...and, no, their eyes don't always glow like that...just when they get their photo taken, and red-eye reduction doesn't help somehow.) Can anyone say, "Pahr-tee?" Well, party bunstyle, anyways.
Only a few more days until our human boy's 8th birthday! Our little Valentine is growing up! Ugh! Why? Why can't they just stay little? Perhaps that's where the concept of the "lost boys" came from in Peter Pan? Maybe the author didn't want his kids growing up so fast? Still, he is very excited about his big day and has made a list a mile long of all the goodies he's "hoping for." It's quite challenging because he has yet to write it all down, and his favorite-mosts -- the ones he would have marked with an asterisk or two -- change daily. Here's hoping we manage to get the all-time favorites. *wink*
Another episode of 24 tonight!!! Woooo-hoooo! It's so hard to wait week-to-week after we've gotten used to watching whole seasons on DVD or going online to watch "video on demand." What is the world coming to? It's hard to imagine how we ever made it years ago when we HAD to wait...and if you missed it, well, that was that. You might get lucky and catch it on a repeat later in the season or even during the hiatus when reruns might be shown.
We are heading out on a "roadtrip" this Thursday. I say "roadtrip" since it's really a trip to a specialist in Delaware. But since it's kinda faraway and in another state and all, we're calling it a roadtrip to make it fun and help take away any nervousness. We're hoping to get going really early (insert fits of laughter here) so that we can stop for breakfast on the way. A bit of background on the reason for our trip: We found out that Emily has grown a whopping 3 inches since last October which is hugely impressive to us but not a great idea for the curve in her spine. The spine doctor told us to expect that though, so we weren't too surprised or worried when her curve went from 10 degrees to 20 degrees in three months. No. Why would we be? ....??!! So we head down to duPont Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware, to figure out what the best course of action would be. It should be interesting if nothing else, right?
We think our little "Mr. Noise" enjoys the nightlife a bit too much...though he never seems to be enjoying it at the time. Ethan has developed quite a pair of lungs, and there's no doubt that he could probably be heard in the tri-state area over the weekend. He's an absolute "peach" in the daytime (eats, plays, and sleeps well)...but we're aren't sure what goes through his sweet little head at night. Still, this too will pass, and one day we'll look back on it and....laugh (bwa-hahahaha!)....yeah, right! Years later when we finally wave goodbye to him as he drives off to college, we'll sink into our bed to sleep for the next year and a half. Who am I kidding? We won't sleep even then. We'll be too worried about what the kids are doing...and where they are, etc.
There's no hope then, huh? *wink*
On that note, I'll sign off for another Monday. Enjoy!

"hoppy" birthday to the bunnies. Hope you have a reassuring and knowledgable doctor's appointment. One of my friends in elementary school into middle school had to wear a brace at night for her back, is that an option? Her's was severe enough to need surgery (her right leg was raised by three inches over her left leg due to the curving). But the brace helped it enough to even both legs out to within an inch of each other.
