5-3-08 Week in Review

Well I'm publishing a day early but I've finished with my work for the day and had some time. It's another week gone and even closer to California!! I can't wait!! Corben had two big baseball games this week (The 2nd one I forgot about until I realized that it was time for the game to be starting. He missed a third of the game but was a really great sport about it.). His team did really well and Corben has hit the ball every game. (The coach also hit Corben with the ball while pitching this last game but he was a good sport about that, too.) Mom took Dade to scouts on Wednesday and since Corben was playing ball she took some time out with Ella at the park. I love how my mom always takes individual time with my kids. Corben got out at first but check out how twisted up the first baseman got!

Thursday we spent the day at Mark & Jamie's house taking pictures of Xander. I got a few of Ella, too. They have the best places in their yard for pictures! We also played with Ryan's dad's lighting equipment inside. It was a lot of fun.

Thursday night was my friend Tanya's baby shower. I picked up several of our friends in Knightdale and we all headed out to Wake Forest for the evening. I had to drive Ryan's suburban and it was really dark so for some reason (comic relief?) I kept missing all the turns on the way home. Sad thing is I had just finished telling them about how when I was pregnant I drove past my house twice. At first, they didn't believe me, I proved it was possible. UGH....at least everyone got a good laugh! Just goes to show you that I really don't ever get to talk to anyone in a car usually over the age of 12 so when I get into a good conversation I should probably be the passenger and not the driver! Oh, well. Friday I had RJ over and the kids were out of school so we ran a million errands....got birth certificates for the girls downtown, bought swimsuits for those who needed them, dropped off the dry cleaning, got Corben new Sunday pants, etc. (You can see how I'd forget there was a baseball game.) Saturday was get ready for our trip day. We've been cleaning and packing. The boys have been really good about helping. I think everyone is super excited!!
