consequences of swmming

Well, it's only been one week of swimming lessons and swim team and Natalie already has swimmer's ear. She is pretty miserable at times. Our doctor told us about a solution you can put in it after swimming to dry the ear canal. She is not able to swim for 3 days, that is like torture for Natalie.

We have had such a busy week. We went to Omaha yesterday to see my friend Molly and her three children. I hadn't met her baby yet, he'll be 1 in July. They are so cute. They play hockey so my kids were able to see them in all of their hockey gear. So cute. After that we went to cookout with some old family friends. Nolan had a great time but Natalie started feeling bad during dinner so we left early.

After a rush filled week we all crashed today for over 2 hours. I don't know if John and Natalie fell asleep, but Nolan and I had a great snooze as we snuggled together. He is so cuddly. 

We are still keeping our options open about a dog. I really want to rescue a dog, but I keep getting e-mails from local people with puppies. So far I've received pictures of ShihTzus, Bishons, Shiba Inus and Shorkies. They are all so cute. If you are interested in a dog, check out the website: hua.org. Read the stories of each dog with a box full of kleenexes near by. My favorite is Hitachi, he is so cute and Hitachi Haney sounds so good:)

John wants me to remind everyone to root for the Celtics on Sunday. He has been a fan for years, back in the Larry Bird days. If they win tomorrow I will ask about the dog again. I know not to bring it up when they lose or during a game. 

This week I attend my yearly meetings in Kearney. It is usually a fun trip. Last year I got sick so I'm hoping I have better luck this year. We leave Monday night and return Wednesday night. 

Natalie's first swim meet is next Saturday. I'm not sure if the young ones compete yet or not. I should find out this week. I'll post when I know more!! 

Have a great weekend and Happy Father's Day to all of the dads!!
