Traveling!!

We went on a short road trip with Pe'pe' to Florida last week. We had a really good time. Got to see Grandma Nancy, Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Marilyn, Jake, Kasey, and Kalley. Glen really liked playing with his second cousins and riding around on the golf cart. The first night we were there we had a birthday dinner for Pe'pe'. We got to see lots of Christmas lights and go get ice cream one night. Glen did a lot of playing outside in the Florida dirt and he got to see a puffer snake and lots of cows and fox squirrels! On the way home we made a point to look for cows to help the time to go by quicker. Every time Glen saw cows in a pasture he would point and say moo! then he would wave bye bye to the cows and say his version of bye. He did very well in the car on the trip. Needless to say though we are not getting in the car seat today.

Poor Glen!

Glen has had a really rough day. He has been sick all day with a fever and being really tired and cranky and not wanting to eat or drink and throwing up what I managed to get him to eat. Not fun! He has miraculously made a complete turn around here in the past 15 mins. He is now eating saltines and drinking and moving around the house. I think he is on the mend, which is good because we do not need any more vomiting on the furniture!

On Saturday we went to visit Great Grandma Virginia, and Grandma Mac. We really enjoyed the visit with both of them and they really enjoyed seeing Glen. They are both doing very well and we can't wait to see them again which will probably be at Christmas.

Glen's Birthday

Well, Glen had an uneventful birthday due to my lack of planning ahead this year. I'm not to distraught over it. I figure if there was gonna be a year that I dropped the ball this was the year to do it. He is only two so he doesn't really get the whole party thing yet, but next year it will probably be different so I can not drop the ball again next year! He still got lots of presents though. He got books, blocks, bead maze, a truck and cars, maracas, bells, a remote control car, clothes, a tiger flash light, a bouncy ball and money! He cleaned up for his birthday! Wonder if there is gonna be anything left for Christmas.

We got our Christmas lights up and they look really good. We want to leave at night just so we can come back and see the lights as we drive up the street! We put the Christmas tree up last weekend and it looks wonderful too. We got a really good looking tree at Home Depot for 20 bucks! It is a little taller than I am, but that's perfect cause we really don't have a lot of room! Now Glen is just waiting for Santa to come put some presents under it. I still have to hang the stockings and put up the nativity scene, I'm gonna try doing that this weekend.

We are going to the mall today to get Glen's pic taken with Santa and then Pe`pe` and I are gonna go and see a movie on I Max while Glen hangs out with Me`me`. Should be a pretty good day.
