Day 76 thru Day 80...I'm back!

Sorry.  I swear it's a legitimate excuse.  I don't have the tooth to show (McCall was mad that I didn't bring the pulled tooth home, she wanted the tooth fairy to come) but it was a really hard week.

We had a lot going on so I'll recap...not many pictures though.  Sorry, I could barely get myself up and to appointments, let alone my camera too!

McCall finished up swimming lessons.  Although she didn't pass from Level II to Level III, she did SO well.  She was the youngest in her class, and was swimming it up in Papa and Nanny's pool the next day.  She has amazed me.  Good job Miss!

Rhys had his 9 month check-up on Tuesday.  We is 19 lbs. and 30 inches long.  He is way skinny, but WAY long!  When he discovers the true love of food, I'm sure this will change.  Right now he is still pretty content with bottles and the occasional banana, ravioli or cracker.  Whole milk here he comes!

On Friday, Rob graduated from POST.  We are so proud of his dedication and accomplishments (he got the highest score on the POST exam!)  It was a nice ceremony where he received his certificate of completion.

He snuck in a hug for the instructor, which got a few laughs.

He also won the "Team Player Award".  This award was voted on by all members of his POST academy.  They felt that his support and enthusiasm was the best of the entire class.  His instructor even thanked Rob for his contribution to teaching the Emergency Preparedness unit.  I think he won this award because he was the class clown...just kidding (or am I?).  All joking aside, we are really proud of him.

During the ceremony they did a opening prayer, during which Bodie looked at me and asked, "Mama, why are these people looking at the floor?"  Oh, Bodie I have failed you!  The kids sure did enjoy the refreshments!

So I am trying to get back to my old posting ways, but we have some things going on that are way more important than taking pictures.  I love the daily pictures, but I have to concentrate on the people in them.  With school starting and Rhys growing up so quickly, I must slow down to be with the kids...sometimes without the camera.  What I'm trying to say, is don't be mad if I go M.I.A again, I'm going to try not to :)  but it might happen.
