Buckle up! It's gonna be a long post...

Sorry it's been so long since my last post...boy have I got some news!
First of all, Friday was Jacob's 2 month well baby visit. He got 4 shots! Daddy stayed in the room with him and mommy came back in when they were done poking him. He weighed in at 10 lbs 11 oz! He's 22 inches long, which is below average but he's due for a growth spurt soon. The doctor was impressed that at just 2 months old, Jacob can stand and hold his full weight and he can almost sit up on his own. I'm impressed too! Also, breastfeeding has gotten a lot easier lately.


Now for some more news...you'll never guess what we did! Okay, so here's the story...
Phil and I were talking about our trip to Florida in June for his 5-week sabbatical. I was expressing how much I hate flying. He mentioned that we could drive, but then there's having Jacob in a car seat all day every day. I just can't do that to him. Then he said something about RVing across the country. We started daydreaming (in the middle of the night) about all the places we could see and people we would visit. The next day, I called around to see what it would take to rent an RV. $1,200 a week!!! That's right, I said a WEEK! That was a definite no go. I was so bummed. Saturday (the 16th), on our way to see my mom for the grand opening of her store Second Options, we stopped by an RV show to see what they had and how much it would cost. Although we didn't get anything from them (more because they seemed like a traveling Gypsy company), we did go shopping again the next day at a place closer to home. So here it is...

If you are ever in the market for an RV, go see Paul at Holiday RV!


This is our brand new Winnebago Minnie...there's nothing Minnie about it!

Yes, we're going to do it! Whether it's brave or stupid, it's bound to be an adventure!

We planned to take it out for the weekend, but the generator quit working Friday night on our way out. This was upsetting, especially because it was brand new. We left Saturday with some neighbors and went to the coast. Sunday was a beautiful day!


On Monday, I tripped down the stairs and hyper extended my right foot and sprained my ankle. Then yesterday I tripped over the bouncy chair and landed on the same foot. I was in so much pain! We went to urgent care, which is anything but urgent, and the good news is it's not broken. It feels better today, except when I try to climb the stairs. But the swelling is down...

And last but not least... Phil and I had our date night last night. We had been planning this for 3 months. We dropped Jacob off with the babysitter (my best friend Jen), and off we went to Champions on Ice. It was incredible! I had the best time! We had great seats (4th row center ice). I took over a hundred pictures. Here are some of the best ones...

This is what happens when bad aim turns good...

Ohmigod! So you bought a Minnie?!? I am so jealous. Sim and I have talked about it over the years, but didn't think we would be able to work it into the budget for several years. But look at you too! What a fun way to travel....with a home you can bring with you! So now where are you storing the not-so-mini-Minnie??
