Here you go, my Sweet Violets! Another new home for our daily musings....

Hi from the airport! Couldn't find a Sbux -- horrors!! :smile2:

Wow, b glad you're hopping a flight outta there, Laura! Yikes! Russ & your mom will take good care of him. Fly fast tomorrow!!

Daycare just called, Carson knocked a tooth loose by falling on a toy. They said it should heal fine if we don't give him hard things to eat.. which should be fine, because they also said he's so congested he can't breathe well and chokes if he tries to eat.

WAAAAAH.

We have our sitting with the photographer to look at photos today, daycare called at noon, I called our doc which is closed from noon-1, we don't have a car to go to photographer if Russ goes to get Carson to take him to the doc, I STILL HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT PACKING, and I'm suppose to FLY tomorrow?!

CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

We r here! Party doesn't start til u get here, Laura... throw some clothes & a bathing suit in a bag & get here soon!

<<<straightening up the room, dusting cobwebs...hope everybody is having fun....

We got Haydee married off... what a beautiful bride... so much fun & love!!

Had an amazing time in TX w/ the girls...Haydee made for a beautiful bride...we are showered and already in bed...w/ a 4.30am wake up call, which is 2.30 our time. SO WORTH IT!! CAN'T WAIT FOR VIOLETS TRIP WEST IN PALM SPRINGS IN SEPT!!!! Travel safely sisters!

We are up, packed and going to enjoy a Texas waffle before heading to the car rental and then to the airport. Had a FANTASTIC time here. Beautiful wedding, great parties and I got to enjoy it with the Violets AND the Bobster. Who could ask for anything more????

Everyone have a great day. Will catch you back here tonight.

Haydee, Congratulations!!!

I saw a few pics on Facebook but am really looking forward to seeing a lot more. I am definitely jealous. It seems like everyone had a great time from what I can see so far. Did I mention I am jealous??? lol

I would love to join all of you at a Violet get-together in the future. :0)

Laura, how is Carson doing now? Ayla got H1N1 last Fall and she had such a mild case of it, you would never have guessed that was what it was. Hopefully he will get better soon.

Carson is still sick, but Russ took him to the doc and they said he's just got ear infections again and it's congested him etc. etc. We're on another round of Augmentin!

This morning at the daycare it says there's now 2 cases confirmed of H1N1 and strep now. I started giving him flinstone vitamins-with extra immunity support.

We were late to work today cause Carson was in bed before I got home last night and I wanted to spend some time with him this morning. Missed my little bubba.

Wedding was so goooorgeous, they are such a wonderful family too, made us feel so welcomed despite being the weird white ladies!! HAH!!!

The 'mystery plants' I had out back, I think I told ya'll about it.. I planted them in the winter, they died (I thought) but now they've grown over 9ft tall. They are covered in buds, my mom said the're weeds!! I said, it would be really odd for weeds to have grown in the exact spot I planted these 4 plants. In any event, they finally bloomed this morning (see attached) so WHEW they aren't weeds. I called springhillnursery (that's where I order most of my exotic plants), and after 10m he finally found my order for these... They are creme de cassis hollyhock! I can't wait for them to all bloom, each plant has like 5x stalks that range from 7-9ft, and they are covered from bottom to top in buds.

I'm very glad they weren't weeds, my mom was convinced they were.. probably because of how huge they had gotten. WHEW!

Wow, I can't believe they grew so huge so fast, but they are adorable.

Laura, your Hollyhocks with rebloom each year. :-D

I'm home! After my 3-hour wait @ the airport, the flight was ontime & uneventful, just how I like it! Had a group of about 30 8th graders on the flight going to a class trip to DC... but after being so loud @ the gate, they were fine on the flight.

No rest for the weary -- or is it wicked? Either way, I'm off to take DD to her riding lesson! I'm hitting the ground running!

Hey chickies~

Can't believe it is behind us.:thumbup::frown: Had a wonderful time w/ my girlies. Now, Sus has laundry in, and I have to download and grade 33 papers. SSIIGGHHHHHH! Where the hell did I put my red pen???

Thanks ladies...can't wait to do it again!

Adios Haydee y Juan...we love you, have funfunfun! xoxoxoxoox

I am back now also.

I know Judy and Bob have had several delays.

Laundry and unpacking are in store here for me.

Love Carson's new pic!!!
