Too Busy to Notice We're Busy

There have been lots of things happening around here lately!

Surgery and hiking and swimming, oh my!

 Surgery

 On May 20th Jack had to be a patient in the department where I work. He needed to have his lacrimal duct probed because it never opened up after he was born and it was CONSTANTLY goopy and gross.

Checking out the band-aid where his IV was.

 

 Yeah, we're good parents. This is after we got home from his surgery during a lapse of parental supervision. 

Apparently anesthesia made him fearless.

 Hiking

We stayed in town for this one. It just so happened to be Memorial Day when we were hiking around Hoyt Arboretum. It was really cool to see all the American flags lining this memorial area where our hike started.

A beautiful cluster of redwoods.  

 Tired toes at the end of the hike.

 Mr. Messy

 On this particular evening, Jack decided to style his hair using mac'n'cheese. 

(I thought of you Lisa Reeser ;) )

 Yes, Jack's actions forced me to declare it bath night that evening.

 Swimming

 Showing off his cute turtle trunks. 

He LOVES the water!

Just like his Mama!

Visiting Great Grandparents!!

 Jack and Poopa

 Jack and Granny

 

 Jack and GG Faye

 

First Haircut

Mama had to get just a few final shots of her sweet little guy with his long locks. 

Before

 After

 Such a big boy. My little rag-a-muffin is gone. 

He's practically off to college.

I'm not ready for this!

 

Capturing the fun

I decided to bust out the nice camera today.
Jack and I were playing in the beautiful sunshine and it just felt like a good day to snap pictures of whatever Jack might be into.
No posing.
No purpose.
Just wanting to capture my boy playing and having fun and just being his cute self.

He has my heart

When Everything is New...

So, I'm realizing that my last few posts are kind of just mind/photo dumps. I used to take time to make "themed" posts about a certain outing. 

I think that those are a thing of the past. 

I'll keep trying, but in the mean time, enjoy the latest photo dump :)

This is what life is full of when everything is so new!

Why eat food WITH a fork, when you can just eat the fork itself?

 My guys watching Frozen with me on my birthday.

 Being a boy

 getting dirty...

Again, grownups... why GET dirty, when you can just EAT dirt?

Adults have it all wrong.

I had a SLIGHT bonk on the head, therefore I shall lay here for 10 min until someone comes to coddle me. No I'm not crying, I'm just laying here. 

Come hug me.

 Dirt magnet

 Bath time!

This next series of photos were all taken within 15 min of each other.

 Step 1. Give Mama heart attack with fear that I'm going to fall off hearth. 

(Mama is able to remain seated at this point, but barely.)

 Step 2. Climb higher to test limits.

(Mama needs CPR)

 Step 3. Give Mama a break. A cage is much safer than climbing the fireplace.

(however, now Bailey is now not thrilled with her kennel-mate.)

 Step 4. Ok fine, I'll watch a movie instead. Just gotta pick one out.

Step 5. Give up on movies. They were all chick flicks. I'll just read instead.

ALL THE BOOKS. 

I MUST READ ALL THE BOOKS. 

Just one will not do.

That means he's going to be a genius right?

Ok, on an ENTIRELY different note.

A glimpse into my work life.

It's glamorous, I tell ya!

Getting fit tested for an N95 mask to protect myself from contracting TB!

Modeling "summer attire" scrub gowns. 

(Normally it goes all the way down, this is just how it happened to rip off upon removal!)

(PS This room is entirely clean and not patient care was being provided!)

And with that, we'll wrap it up!
