Where oh Where...

.........has the time gone.

It's been forever since I've actually sat down and posted to my blog. No excuses really, just a serious slacker. I probably suffered a bit of depression there for a little bit too right after the move to Pennsylvania. I had to leave G-man in North Carolina for the summer due to a new parenting arrangement in order to even make this move, and I had to go weeks and weeks without seeing my baby...thank goodness for cell phones, Facebook, and Skype!

Now the Little Man is finally here and starting his first day of fifth grade tomorrow at a new school....as the "new kid". Wish him luck!

This about sums it up....

I'm thinking when we made the move last month from North Carolina to Pennsylvania, we brought the 100+ degree temperatures with us, as last week it was a total scorcher around here.....uuughhh!

Candy

We finally had the opportunity to visit the Country Cupboard Restaurant today to have lunch. Unexpectedly, you were given a wooden nickel to take to the candy counter to pick out a few pieces for yourself. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Oh Mummy!

This year you were a mummy for Halloween.. It was the absolute coolest costume that I think you have had up til now. You made it a point to play the “mummy” part very well, and even went around dragging your leg behind in true zombie form with lots of moans and groans too. We went trick or treating with your friends Nick & Libby, and then the next day we got all dressed up again and headed to the mall. Even though this was a great costume, we had glue stuck in your hair and legs & arms for days after. Shame on Mommy for using spray glue to hold you all together!

10 yr Check-up & Physical - Double Digits

Well even though Little Man has been 10 for over a month now, we had to wait for "the next available" appointment for his physical - April 6th, and finally the day arrived!

The appointment went well....Can't believe how much he's grown! I mean seriously, he finally made it past the 54lb mark and weighed in at 60.6lbs! How cool is that. And speaking of growth, my little man is fast approaching my height!He's up to 53-1/4" inches tall now! Wow is all I can say....My baby isn't much of a baby anymore...

...except when it come to needles...as you can see, even the prick of a finger is an ordeal, but he gets it naturally. Both his dad and I have "needle phobia"...poor G. I tried to take a good picture today, but his dad went along for the visit, and kinda gave G a hard time, so between the tears from the needle, and his dad making fun of him, this is what I got....oh well, it's still scrable!
