This and That

As you can tell, there has not been much time to post lately. :-) Cameron is growing like a weed and I am settling into being a mother of two boys. This is my last week of maternity leave. It is hard to believe Cameron will be 6 weeks old this Saturday. It has gone by way too fast. But, I can't complain because I basically am going back for the last 4 days of school and 2 days of post planning. I didn't have to, but I really wanted to see my students off for the summer. I miss them! I stopped by Thursday to tell them all their FCAT scores (great, by the way!) and you should have heard the comments. Let's see....(my response in parenthesis)

• Mrs. Russ, your voice sounds different (probably because I'm tired)


• (Did you forget what I looked like too?) No because we looked at your picture everday on your desk.


• Is that what made your stomach so big? (ha ha)


• Mrs. Russ, can you teach 4th grade next year? (I don't know)


• Mrs. Russ, things went "hog wild" after you left. (Hog wild?)

How could you not miss those guys? Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing them off in another week.

Cameron went to his 1 month check up last Thursday. He has grown 2 inches since he was born and almost 3 pounds! He is 22 3/4 inches and 11 pounds. Dr. Albino detected a heart murmor. She did the same for Drew, which he grew out off pretty quick. I chalk this up to their mom since I have one. I had to go through all the cardiologist appointments, etc to rule out different things. So, Dr. Albino wants a cardiologist to check Cameron's out. She believes it sounds innocent, but wants to be sure because she said recent studies have shown that sometimes innocent murmors are signs (small chance) of a bigger problem. Agghh!! So, we are going to a pediatric cardiologist in Orlando June 15th. I'm sure it is fine, but something that is in the back of my mind constantly until we get it cleared up.

We had a fun Memorial Day/Birthday Celebration this afternoon at Mom's. It was a celebration for Brad's birthday. Yes, his birthday was almost 3 weeks ago. He sure knows how to drag it out! No, we just haven't ALL been able to get together until now. Mom lets us pick our own menu. As always, Brad menu consisited of cheddar burgers, REAL french fries, onion rings, beans, and eclair cake. It was mighty good. The boys went outside and played after the brief shower. Bryan thought it would be a good idea to put the pool at the end of the slide. I thought so too. We called it the Redneck Waterpark! I think Leslie & I did this when we were little. The boys had so much fun.

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks.
