I am happy to see Preston's hair a bit shorter since his hair started to etch its way over his ears. Josh was more than happy to give his hair a bit of a cut.  Preston was a bit mortified of the clippers and just hung his head low to get away from it.  But it looks so much better. This is his SECOND haircut!! Oh and he LOVEs feeding himself.

Has it already been five years since I started my career as a nurse?  

Thank you Josh for buying me a light for my herbs. My basil is already starting to peak up through the dirt.

Preston got the flu!  It was so sad.  You would think I would remember from my Mexico pediatric rotation what to do with a sick baby. (That just brought me back to my Mexico days... cold showers, roosters, beans, pyramids) ANYWAY.. we called the nurse twice making sure we were doing everything for Preston.  I even set my alarm clock in the middle of the night to check on his temperature and make sure his breathing was "even and unlabored." 

He is feeling on the up side today thank goodness, but still wants to be held constantly.  

Thank GOODNESS for bath time!  Around 4 pm bath time calls Preston's name, not because he is dirty, but because it is when the whining begins.  Once the bath water is turned on his frown turns upside down.  

Preston and I send  pictures to Josh daily when he is at school. 

WE MISS YOU!

My little angel turned 8 months today!

When is it too early to teach Preston to cook and clean for himself?

So I am a fan of watching Glen Beck.  I like his outrageousness and his humor or emotional side.  The other day he said to his fans (include me) to take a picture if you basically want a better America.  So I took this picture and sent it to wesurroundthem@foxnews.com.  Every time I watch the show it makes me want to make my voice heard, but HOW do I do it?  I am not about to strap my boy on my back and go out protesting on the street.  That just doesn't sound like me.  Maybe someday I will find my niche in making my voice heard.

Today I didn't have to work... thank goodness because from last weekend of working I needed a long break to recover.  Someday I hope that I will only have to work for fun, but until then I will just pretend that I am working for fun.  I quit reading the book Uglies because it did not captivate my attention and so I turned to Anne of Avonlea.  So far the book has not let me down.  Preston is taking his third nap.  Yes, I am blessed with a man who likes to take naps.

I read the book awhile ago. A bit slow moving for me, but it was a great read. Now there are not many instances where I can say the movie is better, but yesterday Josh and I watched the movie and can I say AMAZING! I absolutely loved the movie. It has so much feeling and emotion. The characters were amazingly played, and it followed right along with the book. This is a must see movie.... The Secret Life of Bees.

Isn't he so adorable?! I can now understand the phrase 'melting my heart.' He just makes me so happy. Mmmm. He is keeping me busy with wanting to be held or army crawling into everything. His 8 month birthday is coming up on the 10th. Amazing how time flies when I am having such a blast!
