My Excuses!

Okay, I have been terrible at blogging lately, but it certainly is not because of a lack of desire or things to write about.

First of all, if you read my previous 2 posts, my little nephew, Ben, is doing great. Thank you to those of you that prayed for him! It meant a lot to me and my sister as well. I feel terrible that I didn't write another update sooner! Ben did end up having spinal meningitis and it was the viral type. That was better than it being bacterial, but it meant that there was nothing the doctors could really do for him. It just had to run its course. Ben is pretty much back to normal and has not had any adverse effects! I am so thankful!

Okay, now on to my excuses for not writing!

1.) Brad and I went out of town to San Fran for a belated anniversary trip! (11 years!!!! -wow, we sound old!) We had an amazing time and it was our first time away overnight without the kids since Gavin was born! We were gone for 2 nights and I was nervous about leaving Gavin for that long. It is hard to leave when you are breastfeeding, but both the boys did wonderful! I got to sleep in, read, take long showers, eat great food and spend lots of time with my hubby - it was heavenly! It is funny how my idea of what is fun on a trip or vacation has changed since having children! Now I want to relax and do NOTHING! Brad also surprised me and took me to a Dave Matthews concert. It was incredible! I wish I had pics of our trip to post, but we forgot the camera - isn't that terrible?? We each thought the other one had it!

2.) I started those vampire books!!!!! (Yes, the Twilight series!) I have resisted for a while and the topic of vampires did not sound appealing to me. I took the first one on our trip just in case and I got hooked! I read the first one in the 2 1/2 days we were gone. Brad doesn't quite understand my obsession with reading and has threatened to limit me to one enjoyable book a month! :) I finished the second book last week and am now making myself take a break so I can get some other things done. I had my nose in the book every spare minute: while nursing, in the middle of the night when Gavin woke up, etc!

3.) Gavin cut 2 teeth and got his shots last week! - (need I say anymore??)

I have more excuses, but I will spare you. Hopefully, I will be better about writing now!
