"Church" and the "Mouse"

We went to Chuck E Cheese with Kim, Donald, and their crew on Thursday.  Kaitlynne got to be with her *man* (Danny...lol), and Kim finally got to hold Brandon.  Alex was out in the car when we got there playing with his cellphone and said he'd bring the baby in in a minute.  He came in like 1/2 hour later, I thought Kim was going to strangle him!  She grabbed ahold of him and I didn't see him again until we left...lol!  When I got inside I told Donald I had to hold Joshie, and WOWSERS what a GIANT difference when holding him than holding Brandon!  Her boys have gotten SO big!  Joshie is crawling everywhere, Austin is inch-worming along (but has figured out the cabinets on the fish tank...lol), both have teeth and both reach for Mommy/Daddy now.  They're just so cute!

Kim and I were talking about more kids, and she (of course holding Brandon and loving how tiny he is) said, "Oh we'll have to wait a couple of years then both go off our BC together so we can get pregnant around the same time again."  I just looked at her with a smile on my face and she stopped and said, "NOOOOOO wait, I don't want anymore kids!"  It was so funny, she had gotten completely wrapped-up in the little baby moment!  I'm still undecided about any more (physically I could handle it, tho it'd be another highrisk pregnancy)...the emotional strain on Alex and I (and friends) is really hard, tho.  Nothing need be decided now, anyway.  I know Alex says no more, but in a couple of years we both might be gung-ho about it *shrug*.  Quite happy enjoying the one's I have now, tho.

We went with mom to the church office yesterday so the gals could see Brandon.  Most everyone was gone, but a couple of them were all over him!  He was just wide-eyed and loving it and all of the sudden BAM, he threw up all over a gal!  She didn't care in the least, and I told her the perk was it was breastmilk which didn't stain!  Got him all cleaned up, tho, and made an appt for Alex and I to meet with the associate minister (who did Marissa's funeral) so we can get Brandon baptised.  Alex is a non-practicing Catholic, but I figure we're getting him baptised Christian...that's all I want.  I'd love to go to church again, but the treck there from here is SO far!  Might look around to see what's in our area, tho...

Kept calling to harass my brother until he finally answered his phone last night.  He said he was just about to call me (*eyeroll*  I invented that line...lol).  I guess they're working alot now, trying to get back on track from being really short on work in April (with their bills-I'd be scared).  I asked what they did for Memorial weekend since they're working so much.  Answer:  Took last Friday off and drove to Springfield to spend time with Pete's family, yet again.  Am I surprised?  No.  Does it sting a little that my brother hasn't found time to see his new nephew at all?  Yeah, it does.  Oh well, tho.

Still trying to get Kaitlynne's FCAT scores...the woman at the schoolboard in charge of homeschooling never called me back and I'm not sure if she's there now...I can't wait for Kaitlynne to go back to school.  Not because I want her away from me (tho she's going thru a really mouthy stage, I miss her when she's not here), but because I think she'll feel so much better getting back around other kids.  I know I did the right thing keeping her home this year academically, but hoping it was the right thing, socially, too.  I just noticed when I was feeding Brandon last night, that she had taken her two little McDonald's bears that she loved and tied them to his mobile in his bassinette.  I thought that was really cute, she does love to dote on him.

Not much else going on right now.  We're going to get Alex's Katie (who turned 9 yesterday...Happy Birthday!) in a couple of weeks.  I pray for a good visit this time...last 2 have been a little rough on everyone. 

That's it for now, I guess...take care :)
