Getting Ready for Baby Sister

This past weekend, Chad got all the baby stuff out of the attic for new baby girl.  Lane helped and wanted to put his baby sister's car seat in the car.  Then he insisted on going for a ride with his moose in baby's car seat.

Tim McGraw with Wendi and Wendy!

    

What a fantastic place!  Mine and Wendi's first time to the new Cowboys Stadium and it is AWESOME!  Time McGraw was great fun and it was perfect to get to share the experience with my sister-in-law!

Thanks, Wendy, for getting the tickets for us!  Missed you Kay, but I know  you had your blue jeans on :)!

Sandbox

This morning, Lane got to go to his second class at the rec center.  He was still shy at first, but like last week, warmed up to 'Coach Brandi' when she asked them to run to the cones halfway across the gym.  This afternoon, while I made chicken pot pie for dinner, Lane played in the sandbox til he couldn't stand the heat any more.  Hope the chicken pot pie turns out good!

Morning with Grandpa

Yesterday, Lane to to spend the morning with his Grandpa Rufus at my work.  Lori is on vacation and my dad agreed to come up there (even with all the flooding we had that morning!) to spend time with Little Man.  They rode the 'train' cart around the front of the building and filled it up with gas, twice.  Lane says thank you, Grandpa, for brining me some surprise dried apricots!

Trip to the Post Office

This past Monday Lane showed me that he knows how to make a trip to the post office interesting.  First he asked Eric, the postman, for a sticker.  He ended up giving him 13 stickers which Lane promptly placed all over his face, shirt and hair - apparently this is a new hobby for him which started on our trip to Fayetteville.  This post office is nestled in a storage building store front.  Lane overheard 'Lisa' saying something about storage units.  Lane asked her if he could see a storage unit so off we went for the storage unit tour.  Lane got to unlock unit and open the door to see inside.  Thank you, Lisa and Eric!

Road Trip to Visit Fayetteville Cousins

We had a great trip to Fayetteville, AR over Labor Day Weekend to visit our cousins.  Here's a link to all the pics online:  http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=lf#!/album.php?aid=86875&id=1145928290.

We took the scenic route through Broken Bow, OK to see Beavers Bend State Park - we will definitely go back to camp soon.  We stayed at the North 40 B&B.  Thanks for the hospitality Darlene!  Saturday we got to visit Wendy's spa, the Fayetteville Farmer's Market and Terra Studios with cousins before heading the April and Rob's for dinner with all 15 of us :)!  So good to see everyone!  Sunday we decided to see what Eureka Springs was all about.  At the end of day, Lane fell asleep sitting up on the Trolley, or 'Charlie' as he insisted on calling it, as we rolled around Eureka Springs.  Felt so good to hold him in my lap as he slept.  We didn't leave until 6 or 7 at night.  Chad was super energy drink man and got us home at 2am.  Wow!  Really a fun trip!

Full Day

Lane went to his first class at the rec. center today.  Was very shy at first, but warmed up to it all around the middle.  I bet he enjoys all of it next week.  Then we got new tires, then a new haircut.  After nap we went to the Honda dealership to get the wheels aligned and new front brakes.  The guys there were all so nice.  They gave Lane a Honda truck Matchbox car, let him feed the fish in the tank and gave him coloring pages.  We also enjoyed popcorn and Finding Nemo on a huge TV, on gigantic bean bags, in the movie room while we waited.  What a day!
