More catching up

I STILL cannot get over how great I feel now that my major work events are behind me. It has been GREAT not worrying about that stuff!! I am so looking forward to going into the holiday weekend....and enjoying a few days off!!

I am still playing catch up on some older pictures that I want to get up on here!!

My sweet Livi bug. She is seriously the best baby ever. I thought that Blake was, but Olivia is SO good. She is so happy and content. We have been so blessed to have TWO good natured babies!! Blake and his buddie Dylan had a great time at a pool party. Don't they look like old men here?! So cute.
Blake and my mom are "best friends." He seriously cannot get enough of his nana! He just LOVES to be with her...and lucky for him (and us) she feels the same way! They spent the WHOLE day together yesterday. Ryan had to work late and I was golfing with the girls, so she babysat while we were at work all day and then into the evening as well. They have so much fun together!!
Maggie (my parents dog) is doing good!! I snapped this cute picture a couple of weeks ago. My parents just installed an electric fence, so now she can hang out outside and we don't have to worry about her running away! The fireworks are FREAKING her right out though....this coming weekend is going to be tough for her. Poor thing!!
Blake is getting so big. I don't know if I am biased, but he is SO smart! It just amazes me the stuff that he learns and retains every single day now. He can hold a FULL conversation. It is so fun being his mama! I am proud :)

Ryan has an appt. down in the Detroit area tomorrow with an Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon tomorrow. He was referred to him because of all of his back issues. I am hoping that he doesn't need surgery...but more than anything I am hoping that they can come to a plan where Ryan's back pain is lessened...SO, if that means surgery, so be it I guess! Wish us (him) luck!
