What a busy week it's been -- although I can scarcely remember what has managed to keep it so full. The days seem to just fly by, one flowing into the next with hardly enough time to reflect on any one event.
Earlier in the week I found myself immersed in Dan Brown's Angels and Demons -- a book I've wanted to read since reading The DaVinci Code came out a few years back. Since the Angels and Demons movie is about to come out (May 15) I decided I should get busy with it. However, I spent half of Monday and just about all of Tuesday with my nose in the book. I did manage to get a little laundry done and dinner on the table but that's about it! Wednesday was my "William" fix -- as usual, he was lots of fun and I left their house exhausted. But it was a good exhausted :) Daisy had an evening grooming appointment with Jessie and kept us running. We got home just in time to be further confused by LOST.
Thursday was spent keeping busy around the house and doing more errands. We had someone come to estimate having the house trim painted (Yay! They'll be coming in June to paine so we'll finally be able to cross that job off the list!)
Friday I got out to visit Mom -- and had the fun of watching a mama duck with her dozen or so babies as she tried to move them from one part of the parking lot to another. I am SO thankful that none were in my path as I rounded the curve into the parking lot. I briefly caught them out of the corner of my eye as I pulled in. I could so easily have hit them had they been just a few inches in another direction.
It was fun to see the mama squawking at a good samaritan that wanted to help lift the ducklings up over the curb so they could follow mama ... he was quickly informed his help was not needed as mama squawked and rounded all the ducklings back up and then she (and they) went into "hiding" mode (she pulled her neck down and ended up looking like a rock. The babies did the same ... simply amazing) She did, however, keep poking her head up to see if the good samaritan had left. Too funny.
This morning was our monthly breakfast with Glennys and we were all happy that Josh came and brought William to entertain us. He is just growing by leaps and bounds. He's now pulling himself to a stand on the coffee table and couches with barely any effort and his two little teeth are in view for all to see.
He is becoming more vocal and will pound the table top to mimic you if you pound. He loves his little yogurt drop treats and we get a kick out of him picking them up and popping them into his mouth. Jessica certainly knows how to get him laughing -- he was in a full belly laugh tonight (we went up to their house for a BBQ cookout later this afternoon) as they played peek a boo on opposite sides of the coffee table.
Daniel and Meghan let us know that they have a new addition to their family -- Little M! She's a toy blue chiquaqua and is simply adorable. Daniel sent pictures so we could meet her. I, of course, will get to see her in person this coming Friday since I'm flying down to spend Mother's Day weekend with them!
Here are pictures of M -- she is about 14 weeks old here.
