Brian has been out of town a ton this month. We've seen him collectively just over a week out of the entire month. Luckily my mom and dad live so close that I can take the kids to go visit and have dinner with them. It's a welcome break when I do because the kids and I get sick of each other (can I say that without anyone thinking poorly of me?!?).
Anyway, last night we were up at the grandparents' house. Jackson was watching a little show with my sister Whitney that teaches Spanish words to kids (we don't have cable TV, so he thinks watching TV is a novelty). Whitney announced that Jackson had learned to say 'lightning' in Spanish. I thought, "cool! I don't even know that word in Spanish!" So I asked, "How do you say 'lightning' in Spanish, Jackson?" He said "Lightning....in Spanish!"
I hope that makes sense in the written word, because it was hilarious! We all laughed. He had no idea what was so funny.
As for our update for May, since I've only written one other time this month, here are some highlights:
I finished teaching my Spring Yoga class. It was a great class, and I have a whole new session starting next week with new students for the summer. I'm excited. I have also been asked to teach at Girls camp and for an Enrichment night. Luckily being pregnant doesn't get too much in the way! I am still able to run, lift weights, and continue my own personal yoga practice with this pregnancy. I feel as healthy as ever!
We had a really late snow fall on May 24th! We lost some branches on our rose bushes an other perennials around the yard, but our trees were spared. We got at least 2 inches! I couldn't believe it! Brian has the camera with him on his trip, otherwise I would've posted pictures, but our tree branches were touching the ground and most of our spring flowers and shrubs were flattened. It was a SAD day. Many neighbors lost trees which split down the middle from the weight of the snow, or lost large branches. There was damage seen everywhere. Luckily we haven't planted our garden yet! Our pool was supposed to open for the season that day, funny huh? Talk about global warming!
Friends and I hosted a baby shower for a high school friend of ours at my house on Tuesday. It was one of the best showers! The decorations were just exploding everywhere, the food was excellent, and the company and games were fun. It was exhausting, to be honest, but so fun.
Zoey caught the flu this week. She was quite sick, but is now on the mend. It was a rough couple of days and nights, and being a "single parent" while Brian is away makes it even more draining. Yesterday was her first day off medication and without a fever all week! Yeah!
Brian comes home today. We are looking forward to seeing him and hearing about his trip. He had some fun contacts out in DC and ended up eating at the capitol building with an ex-congressman/lobbyist for telecommunications and the senator from Nevada ~ wooo~ he's with the big guys now! I'll let him post about his trip because I actually think it was exciting as well as business.
That's been our month!
