September 1st labor day

What a great weekend. Jake came up for a short but sweet visit Friday night. Katie was thrilled. She kept asking me when the phone was going to ring to let us know when he would actually get here! It felt wonderful to wrap my arms around him and give him lots of hugs and kisses!
Another highlight was that we finally caught the skunk that has been living under our house. It did retaliate by spraying right into the air conditioner. Two cans of Febreeze later I can still faintly smell skunk. BUT that's OK..
Labor day itself was fun. Philip woke up at 6 am sharp with more energy that I have had in my entire life put together. By 7:30am Kevin and I decided he needed to be outside SOMEWHERE... So by 9am we were on our way to the park. It was a perfect day for it. Overcast and breezy. Our plan worked. He gave us a 3 hour nap which gave us all (Katie included) time to recharge for the next round which began with him throwing sand and ended with him scraping his big toe running full force down the driveway.
Katie and I walked down memory lane today, looking at her baby clothes and matching the outfits to various pictures in our scrapbook... Then (after philip was in bed) she proceded to beat me at UNO. 5 TIMES.....She is an amazing girl. I am so blessed.
Well tomorrow is another day! Wish me luck.....
