Family

My parents arrived from Florida yesterday, and my Mom is just smothering Ethan with hugs and kisses. It's wonderful! I am so excited that they were able to get away for the weekend and spend some time with him. My Mom and I went to the outlets today and of course, I HAD to buy him some new clothes at both Carter's and Little Me. And I found myself a pair of Clarks sandals for $20.00 at a sidewalk sale!! They are super comfy!

I have fallen just a bit of the diet wagon with company here, but I seem to be maintaining what I've lost. I think I am up a pound from Monday though because I didn't make it to step aerobics on Wednesday or this morning. I hope next week is better for exercising!

Ethan's been rather fussy the past few days. I think he is fighting off a bit of a cold, poor guy. On the bright side, he's still given Gramma and Grampa plenty of smiles.

My parents bought a house in my neighborhood back in October, and they put their house in Florida on the market. Unfortunately, they have not been able to sell their house, and it doesn't look promising with hurricane season right around the corner. They are both so very frustrated and they miss their grandsons so much. My brother and his wife have a 17-month old, and they live in Boston. They are due with another son in late August. My parents feel like they are missing out on so much of their grandsons' lives and it makes them sad. I keep praying every day that someone makes an offer on their house. Please keep them in your prayers if you can.

Sorry I don't have much more to report today. I'm pretty tired, and Ethan still needs a bath and a bottle before bed.

Today I am thankful that my parents are here.
