Clear Skies and Continued Suspense

Gorgeous weather has once again returned to Maine and I could not be happier. I was about to go invest in a good paddle-boat to get around, with the amount of rain we'd been getting. Talk about soggy.

Yesterday was nice and today is just stunning.

As to the "continued suspense" alluded to above....well it's just that. Doncha just hate that I leave you hanging like this? Well if YOU think it's bad, come have a sit-down-walk-around in my shoes. And everyone knows what a big mouth I have, so not being able to say anything is killing me.

So what's a girl to do when she's under a "gag order" ? Post more pictures of her kiddo I guess.

And on that note, here we go. The first few photos are Gaby in an outfit her Auntie Amanda got for her and come hell or high water (and the water was LITERALLY rising) I was going to put her in it and take her picture. I really wanted to get out and have her photo taken in it, even if it was only at JC Penney, but I just couldn't stand the thought of taking her out in the rain....

Still though, she looks really good in purple!!!!!

The bows on her tights are just toooooo cute!







Can't resist snapping a pic with her buddy, Beaches. I think perhaps we may have another cat afficianado on our hands.....just like her Daddy!



Just a big ole smile when Mommy was trying to get a picture of her TWO teeth! She's rather bite down then let me see 'em!



The rest are just photos I've snapped here and there over the weekend.





This picture cracks me up because it shows what a total ham she is. She was just laying there playing with her Whoozit and when she heard the familiar click click chirp of my camera she immediately turned towards me and flashed me one of her billon dollar smiles! Such a little piggie!!!!!!



Add to my frustration that my house is neat as a pin, and I just need to go and drop our laundry off with her service and I've not got a lot to do except play with Gaby. But, she really should be napping. And when I find myself in situations like this (which isn't too terribly often to be honest) I usually go and check out the board that belongs to my mom's club....but alas, it's down for maintenance, has been for the entire weekend. I suppose once I get the Gabster down, I could start work on her scrap book. But the minute I sit down to start that, she'll wake up. That's just the way it goes.

I do have tons to get done before Matt gets in on Saturday but I'm debating about what exactly I'm doing, plus I need some help moving things around. Plus I guess being that he's a 16 year old, I'd better make sure the fridge and cupboards are stocked. *lol* I've decided to bring Gaby back in here with me, as our bedroom is HUGE and give Matt a room of his own whilst he's here. But that entails moving tons of things around and I am going to need the extra muscle that my now 6' son will bring!!!! I can't believe he's so dang tall already. I'm a good 7 inches shorter.

In all honesty, I'm a tad nervous about Matt getting here. Don't get me wrong, I'm sooooo looking forward to spending the entire summer with my son, but I do worry about him being bored. After all, there's only so much time he's going to be willing to chill with his mom and baby sister. *lol*

But the fact remains, I've never been an active parent to a teenager before and this is going to be a learning experience for BOTH of us. Thankfully he and I have a really good rapport and rebuilding our relationship has gone a lot smoother than I had hoped or expected it would. I just wish I could say the same of my relationship with his twin sister, or my younger son, Zack. But Lord, that's a topic for another whole post. But I am looking forward to being able to spend more than 2 weeks with him. It's a blessing and a gift and we're all going to make the best of it. And who knows where it might lead.

It looks like Gaby might be doing the impossible....putting herself to sleep, WITHOUT a boob in her mouth. Well, miracles to happen! So on that note, I'm going to go surf some politcal blogs I enjoy and see what's stirring up out there. Oh and be forewarned, my political views have morphed somewhat, so be prepared, because there's an explosion comin'!
