A weekend of fun!

I can't believe it's the weekend already. That means that I now officially only have 2 weeks of maternity leave left. And to top it off, I checked my work email yesterday to find out that I have a site visit with a new client of mine from 10am-1pm on my first day back. That's nice...so when I come in looking like a member of  KISS, because I've cried myself to work having dropped my baby at the sitters for the first time, I can make a lasting first impression. I mean seriously, can I not come in for a DAY and catch my breath? Ridiculous.
It's a big weekend for us. Colton gets baptized on Sunday. I'm excited, as he'll be wearing the same outfit my dad wore when he was batized nearly 50 years ago! Trent & Matt wore it too, so it's pretty cool. Trent will be Colton's Godfather, and I think he's pretty excited. We're doing the baptism up in Remington, so there will be a lot of running around, as we're having everyone back out here for lunch afterwards...but that's okay. It means alot to Jason and I have to have Father Fox baptize him, and being between churches, this just made sense. I'll be sure to post pictures of the cute little devil on Monday.
Things have been going really well. We're getting all kinds of smiles now, which is so great. He's a strong baby too. Last night, we were at Grandpa & Grandma Stockments (that seems to be the ritual lately...Friday nights up there! HA), anyway...I had him sitting up on the bar, with his feet dangling over my legs, and the little turd kept pushing his legs out and pushing himself into a standing position. It was crazy! Most babies legs are like limp limbs for quite a while. Not our kid. He's got things to do, things to see. Wonder where he gets that. He'll be just like his parents, can't sit still for too long.
We got out and about alot this week. Tuesday I had to take Murph for a trim, so we went to Wolcott in the downtime and had lunch uptown with Uncle Matt & Grandpa Hall. Have I mentioned that Grandpa Hall is completely had for this baby? He LOVES to hold him, and show him off. He was starting to get fussy during lunch at the good ole' Country Inn, and Dad held him and got him to quiet down. He just loves him to pieces...it's adorable. Matt did pretty good, but says that until he can walk/talk, he's not real interested! HA Yesterday we went out and about in Lafayette, picking up pictures, and then some groceries after lunch with Stacy & Natalie. It was a great day to be out running errands! Here's proof...DSC00528
Today, he's going to Grandma Stockments so Mom can actually deep clean the house. Dad is going to work outside some, then help out where he can in the house. He's at work this morning. The weather has been just awesome lately...upper 50's, and we love that. We can't wait to get Colton outside enjoying the weather!!!
A few pictures to make you smile this weekend! Have a great one!
Here he's resting before a long day of shopping last Saturday with Mom & I.

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
