So the poor dog comes home, needing copious quantities of water and a rest.
No sense in doing those separately.

Day 212 - July 31
It's been hot this week. And it doesn't get cooler as the night goes on, really. At least not as early as Jason takes Fred for a walk.
So the poor dog comes home, needing copious quantities of water and a rest.
No sense in doing those separately.

Day 211 - July 30
It was a big doctor's appointment day today. One of the big benefits of having kids two days (and 3 years) a part is that you get to bring them both to the doctor at the same time for the big check ups!
So, as a way of documenting it, I'll give the stats real quick, though that has nothing to do with the picture.
Cate, at 1 year and 12 days old, weighed 18 lbs and 8 oz. That put her in only the 30th percentile for weight. She was also only 27 inches long, which I think also puts her around the 30th for that. I'm hoping she catches up on the height like Michaela did.
Michaela, at 4 years and 14 days old, weighed 36.6 lbs. She's actually back up to the 50th percentile after being down around the 15th or something at her 3 year appointment last year. She's 42 inches (and a little bit, I think) tall, which puts her in the 90th percentile for height. YAY!!!
Both girls have met or exceeded all their milestones and they're happy and healthy! Maybe a little too healthy, actually... Michaela hasn't been to the doctor for a non-well-child visit since before we left Kodiak, so she was a little scared of the whole thing. Our doctor is AWESOME, though, so she got over it pretty quickly.
Anywho, like I said, the picture has nothing to do with any of that, except that our appointment went late, so we ended up stopping for dinner on the way home instead of eating at home like we'd planned. So dinner was at Jason's Deli, where, if you've never been there before, you get free soft serve ice cream (self-serve) with your dinner.
Cate got her first taste of ice cream. She may have liked it.

Day 210 - July 29
I think the day after Twinkies hit the shelves again, Jason came home with a box of them. I could've gone the rest of my life without a box of Twinkies in my house.
Instead, they stare at me from the counter.
I ate one. It was the first one I'd eaten since I was pregnant with Cate and had a wicked craving for them one week. To deal with that craving, I bought a package of two at a gas station and called it good. Prior to that, I think the last time I'd eaten a Twinkie was when I was on STATEN ISLAND, sometime around 2002.
Now they just stare at me.
Did I say that already?

Day 209 - July 28
I finally got back to LensCrafters yesterday to have my glasses adjusted, again. Apparently I have crooked ears or something because they're never right no matter how much I have them work on them when I first get them.
So I've had this other pair of glasses for weeks and finally got to wear them!
And look, it's me!

Day 208 - July 27
Oh my gosh, Cate had me cracking up tonight!
She found one of the mustache whistles that were a game prize at the birthday party last weekend and, I guess, thought it was like a pacifier.
She was letting it fall out of her mouth onto the couch so she could fold over like a taco and pick it back up with her mouth. Then she was giggling and rocking, thinking she was the funniest thing ever.
I tried to get a picture, but she stops everything when the phone comes out, unless she can see herself. So I had to turn the camera around and go the selfie route.
Never-ending laughs around here!

Day 207 - July 26
I'm not sure if I mentioned it here yet, but the donut place we stopped at "on our way" to New Orleans back in June opened a new location right here in Mobile.
It's near the newest Publix.
So I'm probably going to get fat because I like the newest Publix for its better selection of natural and organic products and I usually go shopping in the morning after I drop Michaela off at Mom's Day Out (soon to be school) and usually you eat donuts in the morning and these amazing donuts are less than a mile from the Publix.
Yep, I might actually have to start working out again.

Day 206 - July 25
Michaela wanted to try out her new scooter today. So, after I finally finished putting together Cate's new tricycle (didn't think that would take as long as it did), we hit the cul-de-sac for a short walk/ride/scoot.
And there, right at the end of the cul-de-sac, was a great picture subject.... a magnolia with a couple of blooms on it.
