My Tuesday update..

This morning Bell did not want anything to do with me. She cried and reached out for daddy. When he picked her up she snuggled up in his arms and almost went back to sleep. Of course he eventually had to give her up to get ready for work, but the she cried again. All she wanted was dad!!! It was such a beautiful sight to see Don holding his little girl. I love the look he gets on his face when he holds her, just so full of love. He was not able to hold her much in the past week due to the surgery on his neck (he had a very fast growing cyst taken off in out patient surgery). He is feeling much better now, with a nice little scar to show for it. When dad leaves for work in the morning I hold Bell at the door so she can wave bye. Dad is the only one she says "eye-eye" to when she waves goodbye.
We finally got the pool covered this weekend and now with all of the rain today will need to pump off the cover. Pools are such fun!! It is supposed to be rainy here all week long. I hope it clears for the weekend.
Bell has made a new friend Roxanne in her playgroup. The group is the 0-1 age group and we meet every Tuesday morning, so some of the ones are babies, and some are Bells age. Bell and Roxy are about the same age, and like to spend the time trying to take each others sippy cups and snack traps. They had a great time chasing Jenny's cat all over today, but never caught him. There are 7 of us and we each take a week hosting it at our house. It is a fun time for the kids to play and the moms to chat. I am learning about the pre-schools and other things for kids to do in the area (from the other moms with older ones). Roxy is already signed up for 2 year old pre-school for next September. I didn't even know there was two year old pre-school. Needless to say we will be doing stay and plays, playgroups, library time and stuff like that at two!!
Austin started swimming yesterday for the winter season (until mid February). He will be swimming three days a week, with meets every other Saturday morning (8:30 AM warm ups - yuck!!). Today they switched specials in school, so he now has gym everyday for two months.
As for me, I have to go ship some packages and do the dishes.....
