Hi Dada

I am trying to be diligent to record Ray as often as I can so that Trey gets to see him in action and doesn't feel like he's missing anything. Yesterday, Owen Ray was very obliging for the camera. He knew that it was an important moment, so he turned on the charm for Daddy and said "hi dada." I'm pretty sure that my son is a Narnian prince. I'm reading about them, and I think I'm fairly convinced. I've been trying to explain to my parents that he fits the bill of a sort of child king. I know this sounds ridiculous, but this kid is just amazing. That... or I'm getting way to involved in the the Vogage of the Dawn Treader.

Ray Goes Swimming

Yesterday was nice. My mom drove with me to the airport to drop Trey off (those 66 days are up), and I am now officially moved out of the parsonage. Ray and I are taking up residence with his grandma and grandpa for the next several weeks, and I am really excited about having all this homemade bread :) Tom came over for our Memorial Day gathering yesterday. It was nice to see him. He has a very fun, infectious personality. My dad was excited about Memorial Weekend. So much so, that he planned for Owen Ray to get a chance to swim. He had fun splashing!

I'm not on a countdown until the day I get to see Trey again, but I do miss him. Hopefully, I will stay busy enough that I can avoid being pitiful and just look forward to seeing him.

P.S. I just began the Voyage of the Dawn Treader and am pretty excited because the Horse and His Boy was so good.

An Unexpected Vacation

I have missed 9 days of school in the past two weeks. At $105 a pop that's a lot of moolah to throw out the window. However, it has been nice to get to stay home with my son and husband as we hack away with our flu-filled congestion. I'm looking forward to getting back to the classroom on Tuesday. I can't believe that there will only be 9 more days of school left at that point. I feel like I have missed so much.
