ouch!

Jason....in his attempt to turn off these lights last night.......hit his head on this rock sticking out of our fireplace...
...wound up passed out on the floor of our kitchen... (re-enactment below - he wasn't dressed nearly this nicely last night)...and now has this to show for it.

Scared the heck out of me!  A little after 11pm I hear Jason:  "Robin....Robin...I need you."  I wake up in a fog, walk into our living room where I find Jason lying on the couch.  I'm thinking, "What the heck does he want?  I'm sleeping.  He's just lying on the couch.  What does he want?"  I sit on the ottoman beside him and he proceeds to tell me the story.  He says he hits his head, walks into the bathroom to see that his head is bleeding, goes to the kitchen to get a rag to wet to place on his head and the next thing he knows he's looking up at the kitchen ceiling thinking "Where am I?"  

My mind proceeds to race wondering if he has a concussion...should we take him to the emergency room?  In my mind, he's going to wind up with amnesia.  I look up concussion stuff on the internet and ask him what year it is, who the President is, etc.  He tells me to ask him something hard.  I don't sleep well at all - I set my alarm for an hour to make sure he's still breathing.  

This morning I ask how he is and he says (with a smirk) "I'm fine.  What do you think I am...a wimp?  I'm strong like ox."  

Unfortunately he's fine.  He's not been humbled at all.  

beware!

Beware of little fingers belonging to a 6 and a half month old when shopping with a list.

mother's day 2009

i had a wonderful first mother's day.  jason asked what i wanted and i told him i just wanted to be able to do whatever for that one day without having to take care of cash.  what i really wanted to do was to be able to organize some pictures, work on this website and videos.  at first i really wanted to go to cvs by myself and just look and take my time - i was really in the need for some new makeup and lotions, etc. and have found that cash just doesn't do well with one errand after another.  i have to limit my errands to two at the most per day.  he simply gets fussy in the car seat and in screws up his naps...blah blah blah...SO....jason took care of him all day long for me so i could just sit at the computer and do stuff.  maybe that's not so exciting to you but it was great for me! jason says that he has a mother's day card for me but hasn't had time to sign it and give it to me.....mother's day was a week ago...still no card.  hm...

foot in mouth

Cashel has learned to put his foot in his mouth - well - his toes actually.  Isn't this cute?

Little Legs

Here is another video of teeny tiny baby Cashel and his teeny tiny legs (that are now huge by the way).

Funny Faces

Here is a video of teeny tiny baby Cashel making some funny faces.

Ship to NC

It's been too long since I've written.  This is new for me and I don't have the hang of it yet.  So...I'm doing some damage control and finally getting some pictures and posts up although the order might seem random and disorganized.  Oh well...

Anyhoo.  Isn't this a cute picture?  My mom was in NJ helping us pack up for the big move to California and she did this.  She's great.  All she's ever wanted is to have at least one of her kids live close to her. We joke that she ran us off but that's not true.  It's just that our jobs have taken us elsewhere and she says she understands.  She actually sent this picture to my mother-in-law asking her (Susan) if she had seen my mom's package.  It had not made it to NC yet and my mom wanted to know where it was.  Very funny mom.  

Now see this picture?  This was taken the day my mom left NJ.  I think it's a great picture, but I noticed after really looking at it that she is really sad here.  She told me to take the picture quick before she starts crying.  Such a sweet lady, my mom.  She's so brave and strong and supportive.  We love you mom and promise to come home as much as possible!    We love you!
