I would like to think October 26, 2008

Every time Shay starts getting fussy or acts a little different than normal, I immediately say that he is teething.  It has been months of “teething” without any teeth.  I guess I would like to think that Shay is perfect.  I think many parents do this.  I see it often in parents of my middle school students.  Some parents can’t even imagine that their son or daughter would ever do anything wrong.  

Pat and I are blessed to have a wonderful son.  He really does love life and loves people.  I pray that Pat and I will be parents that show Shay how to be a wise man.  I want him to be a boy and eventually a man that walks with the Lord.

And by the way, I really do think he is going to get a tooth soon

Fall October 8, 2008

We’ve been doing the fall thing around here.  Last weekend we took a night and went up to Blue Ridge to see Pat’s family.  The weather was absolutely beautiful.  Then Monday we went to the Cumming Fair.

I am so relaxed.  For my birthday last December, the girls gave me a gift card to Lulu’s a Day Spa with the intention that I would get a pregnancy massage once my back started hurting.  Well, my back never did hurt too bad with my pregnancy.  The wonderful gift just sat in my wallet. 

A few days ago, Pat suggested that I use the card and go pamper myself while he watched Shay AND Ellie.  I didn’t think twice.  I set up the appointment for today and went to get a facial.  I’ve never gotten a facial before.  It was quite the treat.  The whole experience was delightful.  I was incredibly relaxed.  

Pat did a great job watching the kids.  Pat definitely demonstrated his love for me today.  Thanks Pat!  Also, thanks girls for the wonderful b-day present!
