It's Wednesday...

Congratulations to my daughter Bridget's sister in law, Joy, who had a bouncing baby boy today!! Mason is here and I hear he weighs in at a whopping 9 lbs. 10 ozs. How in the world did little Joy do that?? Joy's mom is in town to help out and I am sure she is in her glory, enjoying this precious new grandson!! Cayden will have a buddy for summer weekends at the lake! Grandpa Curt must be thrilled too!! I can't wait to meet him!

Weigh in time.... 153.2 I can't seem to move from this mark. I go up and I come down a few ounces every week. I am going to kick it up with cardio to see if I can't get something to happen!! Stay Tuned. I still feel like I am looking good, so that is very encouraging to me. I have had to shop since pants aren't fitting right - I know somethings have changed for the better!!

My sweethearts gems are all good. Sarah and Molly continue to remind me of Beckie and Bridget when they were 4 and 2. Its so funny to me. Sarah is her Mommy reborn. How she talks, acts, and even how she walks. Molly is Bridget. Tiny, such a little munchkin, like Bridget was. Molly does whatever Sarah tells her to do when they are playing... I love watching the two of them when they are being good to each other.

Cayden was so happy to see the girls after our week in Florida. He knocked Molly right off her feet with a big hug!
They are too cute together!!
Cayden woke Sarah up then too! "Ra Ra", he says over and over!
So glad to be reunited with his girlie cousins!! Cayden's cast is off... he is ready to go-go-go, what we call walking. He is hesitant to take off though! Time will tell.

Crazy Little Bird...

What to do? Tried chimes. Tried taping pictures to the window. What next? I am beginning to think we have a pet!

Baby Lesjak

Yes! You did read that last post right! Kelley is going to be a Mommy!
I am thrilled to finally be able to announce my secret news!!! Tegan and Kelley are having a BABY!! Kelley wanted to let some time pass, let the baby grow some and then share the news!

Kelley works for a High Risk OB office so she has been able to have early ultrasounds because of her history. Here is an ultrasound of Baby Lesjak at 12 weeks!
Amazing! Too soon to know girl or boy... Doctor looked and says the baby just might be a BOY! We will see!! So Tegan is getting to marry a beautiful bride as well as his very own baby! Umm... choosing life, is a WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL THING! Bridget's little Mya will be born around Aug 31st and Kelley's baby around Oct. 19th! Meme will be so busy, won't I?

Gem after Gem!

Home at last!

My girls in sunny Florida the day before we left for home!

Sarah and Molly were very good girls this trip and they are really getting to know their way around the "Florida house"! Aunt Doodie, Cayden, and Mya will be with us again next year and we can't wait. We missed Bridget and Cayden this year. Uncle Tegan, Aunt Kelley, and their new baby boy/or/girl with be joining us too!! Baby after Baby!!! What? A "daddy" joining our "girls & kids" Easter trip ... you ask? Just Tegan since his sisters don't get to see him much!! Just imagine the fun we will have that trip!!

Traffic was HORRIFIC... Can I just say I hate Atlanta? So glad to be home and off the crazy roadways! We got home on Saturday night at about 10:30 p.m. --- EXHAUSTED!

Sweet homecoming!

Molly was so excited to see her Papa! She ran right into his arms!
Papa was happy to see her too!
"I love you Papa"
Sarah woke to find herself at Papa's house and that put a smile on her face as well!

Love is in the air... um, in the water!

We boarded the shuttle bus to our boat dock to get on the boat to the island.
We were hoping to see some dolphins as we rode across Estero Bay to the private island.
We were not disappointed. We had barely left the dock and we were surprised to see...

these little friends, frolicking, ... well, that is what we told the kids they were doing!!

Really, it is mating season and we got a good look at how it is done!
Wow...
That's all I am going to say about that!!!

Kids and sand, Kids and each other! Enjoy my pictures!

We are enjoying our last days in Florida. Molly misses her Papa. Molly wishes her Papa was here with us. She keeps saying... "Mem, I am ready to go back to your house now and see my Papa"

Molly, I miss Papa too!

Happy Birthday Dagmara!

Happy Birthday Dagmara... You make my Danny so happy! You also make me and my friends so healthy... our little miss yoga instructor! Have a really great day!

Music in Motion... on the road~

We had a singing party today... a little Music In Motion and even Jack played along!!

Hunters by day. Collecting more "lizards"!

Tonight Ryan let Sarah wear his headphones while he tried to show her how to play his game!
They are the cutest, aren't they?
Molly surprised me with her skills with puzzles!

Gotta love the "sun blocked" hair do! Roxi, who needs dippity-do?

Something About Mary?

Magda was at the beach... oh yes, she was!!! I looked to my right, and grabbed my camera to snap this shot! This poor dear really needs to stop with the oil, don't you agree?? She is someone's precious GG and needs to get out of the sun!
Molly at Barefoot Beach one sunny day... writing her name in the sand!
And frolicking in the water!
Ryan riding the waves... no just riding the calm Gulf!
Heading in!
Jack, trying out the beach chair...
smiling with delight at a shell Ryan gave him!
Sarah took a turn at surfing... Uncle Tegan would be so proud!!
A real surfer girl!
Putting the "flag" on the top of their castle!

Someone did leave her mark on the sand... and in my heart too!!


BIG NEWS HERE!!! I am the proudest MeMe ever!!
