Thankful for friendship

This weekend, Auntie Kathryn came to visit from Washington D.C.  That makes 3 years in a row she has come out to visit our little Buggy since she was born.  As always, the weekend went by way too quickly and as always, I am still missing our talks.  Now that Bug can remember Auntie Kathryn, she misses her too..."so much."  There was a lot of doing nothing, but sitting on the couch on Saturday until it was time for some margaritas and dinner, so the majority of my photos were taken on Sunday when we went to Santa Barbara.  

I am so thankful for friendship...especially one where we can lay around doing nothing the majority of the weekend even though someone traveled across the country to see you...and one where your 2 year old can be happy as a clam one minute, then almost throw a tantrum the next...and one where your friend doesn't mind that you, your kid, and hubby are all attached to the hip...and one where you can make a ton of Starbucks trips in one day because you broke your coffee maker.  That's friendship and boy am I thankful for this one!
She's a lush.  ;P
Santa Barbara bound!
She is so tired of my camera.
 A playground on the beach.   Of course.   PERFECT!
 Some tiny person got a huge kick out of pushing Auntie Kathryn down the slide...the slide that specifically said, "For kids 2-5 years."
 There is always time for a quick workout session.
 Contemplating whether or not she should really touch the water.
 Still thinking about it...
 She did it and she was still unsure about it.
Our engagement photo.  ;P
If you have never watched a sunset on the beach, DO IT.  There is nothing quite like it.
When we got home, Bug and Auntie Kathryn had some play time while Mommy cooked dinner.  Here she is, lecturing Auntie Kathryn about food.  No one is immune from her lectures.
Then when dinner was ready she made Auntie Kathryn eat from a tiny princess plate.  Talk about rationing!
We miss you, Auntie Kathryn!  Until next year!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!  There is A LOT to be thankful for!

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
