Getting ready for the Trip

Soon the whole family will be getting on the plane and heading to NJ for a trip to the jersey shore. The kids had to be in tiptop shape for the greek grandparents so they were in rare form for the Skyping last night.

Mountains

Amelia went to the mountains with out mommy, daddy or brother because Stephanos had a fever. The Hegenbart's and Bobar's had Ame on her first sleepover in a timeshare in big bear without us. Carla slept in the room with Amelia and the quote of the night had to be "Nana yoooouuuurrrrr snnoooorrrrring!!!" She also had encounters with many creatures but no fear. It's a fake snake:) We missed her but it was fun being with just stephanos getting all our attention, his fever seemed to break saturday and yesterday he was eating like a champ again. yesterday we had some wierd weather it rained in the morning when we went to church and then it got really sunny and windy so we worked on the yard after lunch planting flowers and cleaning up then we went to the park to fly kites amelia was running around with her penguin kite following her doing tricks she kept trying to get the streamers to hit me what a fun day.

Sick boy

Our little Stephanos has a fever and hasnt been eating as well as usual so we found out he got a viral infection back that he had last october so unfortunatly he isnt able to go to the mountains with sissy. He passed out on the kitchen table at dinner last night and couldn't keep his eyes open. so I moved him to the couch and he just didn't move. Poor little buddy!!!!

Mother's Day Weekend

What a great weekend that started with my playing some golf with a couple of friends unfortunately i have an elbow injury that i may be going to the doctor to see if it is more than just a tennis/golf elbow. Saturday Jenny had to work so the kids and i headed to the horse center in the hb park where they were celebrating The Kentucky Derby. There was face painting and horseshoe decorating as well as music and dancing on the stage that Sarah and Dean were married on. But my favorite part was kicking off our shoes and playing chase on the grass. And then we had a visitor, Munchkin, a miniture horse we were able to pet. On Mother's day stephanos and i got up early and made breakfast for jenny but she got up before we were able to bring it to her in bed. We all headed off to church which i'm happy to say stephanos now doesn't cry anymore, he likes to play while we head to the service-next step is removing the binky. After church we headed home for the mothers day cookout where we chose from a variety of steaks and i grilled them up in addition to the domathes appetizers with mashed potatoes or rice with sliced and sauteed zuchini yummmmmmm. Then we had a great walk in the park where the squirrels were all over the place eating up peanuts. The only thing missing were Drew, Krista and my mom. Next year maybe we can have all the moms together?
