The Park and the New & Improved Office

We went to the park with A & her son N today. Gorgeous weather, good company, and swings. What more could you ask for?

While waiting, we took a stroll by the fish pond.



And then it was time for .... SWINGS!!!! WHEEEEE!!!!! This was Aiden's first time on the swings, and he. Loved. It.



Hey, N! How's it going over there?





And then it was time to camp out, play with toys and eat mulch.





And then there were the roosters. Go figure. Roosters at the playground. They came out of the woods next to the playground and were just hanging out. A thought it was pretty cool. I was not so amused. She promised to kick their funky rooster butts if they tried any funny business.



And finally, the office. Our neighbor finished putting in the french doors in the office and they look phenomenal. I can't wait to see it finished with the shelving in a few weeks. It looks like the doors were totally part of the original construction, too. Three thumbs up for this guy.



And while DH is at the Eagles concert, I took it upon myself to reorganize his office. I think this will be better rather than have him facing off into a corner. I want to take apart the current shelves and make a credenza for him on the wall with the french doors. He's going to be surprised! (He knew I was planning to do it, but not tonight.)



And then some random things.

Last night, I went to see Revolutionary Road with K. It was great. Very dark and awkward, but so thought-provoking and disturbing. After I finish some of the books I have on hand, I'll be picking up that one.

My Oscar pug is doing a million times better. The adequan treatments are working wonders - he is responding magnificently. It's almost like the arthritis and displaysia aren't bothering him at all. He has to have 7 more shots over the next 3.5 weeks, and then we drop to once a month. Dr. R was right on with this. I'm so glad he's not in any more pain.

Turtle's 9 month check up is tomorrow morning. I really love our pedi. I spent about 20 minutes on the phone wtih the nurse this morning, reviewing Turtle's vaccine schedule and making a plan to discuss tomorrow (he doesn't get any shots tomorrow, but I want to make some decisions before he gets the 12 month ones). I'm a little concerned about the MMR vaccine, simply because it's so many live viruses being injected into such a little guy (ok, not really little, but you know what I mean). Our pedi is fine splitting up the shots and delaying them til we're more comfortable, so I just want to confirm the best course of action for us. I'll be sure to check in tomorrow with stats.

And just 4 more days til Mom and Dad get here! Yay! I am so excited to see them. It's just so great that they are able to spend a few weeks with us and even get in a little honeymoon in Sanibel. I'm glad they can take that time. So the countdown is on!
