Jeanne's birthday and other things

Since Father's day, we've had a few events happen.

Jeanne's birthday was on June 32rd. We had already gone out to eat as a family the friday before. We went to a little restaurant here in our town called Marios. I had a super Italian sub. It had ham, salami, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and ionions on it, covered in Italian dressing. The bread was Italian bread. I had a twelve inch sub.
Alex had a small pizza, plain. Jeanne has Manicotti I'm pretty sure. Brian had chicken and french fries; perfect finger food for him.
Jeanne was allowed to sleep in on Monday, wheich she had taken off from work to have a nice four-day weekend. The women at her work made her a birthday cake, which they surprised her with on her birthday when she went back to work. She also made her own cake and when she found out the girls were cooking up something at work, she put hers in the freezer for later. She also got a handful of birthday cards from the various women at her work which was very thoughtful of them.


Jeanne's recently gotten reacquainted with a friend she went to high school with named Stephanie. Steph lives here in town as well and she's got a two-year-old daughter named Awbrie. Steph isn't married, but soes a very nice job of raising Awbrie by herself. Awbrie goes to see her father every other weekend. Steph has taken Jeanne and Alex to the local playground this past week, which is really good for Alex to work on that whole kid interaction thing. Alex gets along very well with Awbrie. He goes around calling her his girlfriend. Awbrie even gave Alex a little kiss too. Isn't that sweet.
Steph has volunteered to take Jeanne shopping later on in the month of July.
Grandma took Jeanne shopping today though, so Jeanne bought two weeks worth of groceries, which works out better because when she would buy for a whole month, she was having to work with two shopping carts full of food.


Finally, on to today. I was bringing in some groceries, and Alex was trying to help. He was out in the hallway, started to run I guess, and then he whacked his head off the wall. He got a huge bump on his forehead on the right side. We tried putting an ice pack on it, but he was trying to take it off like it was too cold. So we bumped it down to just a cold compress and that worked better. We also gave him some tylenol to help with the pain. We gave him some more before bedtime to help him through the night. The bump has already started to go down a bit, but he'll have it for a few days. Jeanne thinks he may come out with a black eye as well, but we'll see.
I think that covers everything up to the present. Thanks for reading this all the way through. Hope everyone has a good day.

massive update

I haven't posted in a long time so I think it's time to play a little catch up.

Mother's Day went very nicely. I bought Jeanne some pretty flowers and surprised her with them. I got her a little stuffed bear to go along with them. I was going to make her some scrambled eggs and serve them to her in bed, but I don't know what happened there, maybe she just got up before I could do it. I also wrote her a nice Mother's Day email that made her cry.

Alex has been doing very well with going to the potty. Sometimes, he wants you to go with him, but he generally goes on his own. He needs help to empty out his potty. He's very independent. He wants to help out so much it's almost painful. Sometimes I feel like I do very little because he wants to do it all.

We've been over Jeanne's dad's house twice since I last updated the blog. We had fun both times. First time we went over on a Saturday for Smores. Second time we went over for a BBQ and that was good as well. We made krabby paddies and took them to be cooked on the grill. We've had them at our house a time before that and they turned out really nice. We had a meal one night of Krabby Paddies and Krabby Fries. I hope they were up to Spongebob's standards.

Poor Brian injured himself June 20th, which was a Saturday night. I don't know how it happened exactly, but he wound up sending a tooth through the place between your gumline and the inside of your upper lip. That little area there he wound up cutting with his bottom tooth. We gave him baby tylenol after we got all the bleeding stopped.

Father's Day. That was yesterday and it was very good. It started out with me sleeping in till 9:30 in the morning. Jeanne got the kids up and got them dressed and fed. After I woke up, Jeanne made me breakfast and washed up the dishes. It was a mix-it-up lunch with everyone having their own things. For dinner, Jeanne made me one of my favorite meals, besides a seafood dish or Chicken Curry. It was Sweet and Sour Chicken. Very tasty. It will be her turn again as her birthday is June the 23rd. She took off work on Monday so she could have a nice four-day weekend.

I think that's everything since the last post. Hope you all enjoy reading.
