Hello there. I hope everyone has had a great weekend so far. Mine has been pretty good, but LONG. Yesterday was great though. Marin and I spent some time in retail therapy and all was well. :) Matthew has been gone all weekend. He went to Virginia to take Lexi to her (hopeful) new home. She is currently staying with a good friend of ours that we refer to as Lexi's "Uncle Andre". He is Dad to greyhounds George & Lisa and says that he doesn't need a third. I can't say that I blame him. But I'd be lying if I didn't say that I hope he decides to keep her permanently instead of just fostering her. :) Lexi LOVES him and his dog George. This is her first time meeting Lisa (who coincidentally is her 2nd cousin) and they seem to be getting along just fine so far. I'll keep you updated!

Taking care of a baby by yourself is TOUGH. Yesterday Marin took it easy on me and was a good boy. Today, he's driving me wild. I just got him out of his bath, got him dressed in some of his Halloween themed finery and no sooner did I lift him off the changing table that he spit up a combo of carrots and curdled milk all over his shirt, his bib, and my shirt. Nice. Just what I needed. So I decided to just strip him down to his diaper and put him in his play yard while I took a shower. I got all cleaned up and as I'm drying off I can smell the unmistakable smell of yet more spit up. That's. Just. Grand. As icing on the cake, he is now asleep, lying in a small pool of the orange puke. He's been a bear today and hasn't napped so instead of digging him out of the play yard for yet another bath, I just moved him over in the corner to a "clean" spot. ha.ha. I know, I'm wrong, huh? ha.ha. Hopefully I will have at least an hour of peace and quiet before I have to wake him up for a bath and a meal.

Matthew is on his way home now as we speak, after driving 850 miles yesterday. Yikes! He is about 2 hours from home now and I can't wait for him to get back! I'm sure he's looking forward to get back so he can finally rest. I'm looking forward to him getting back so I can pawn Marin off on him. :)
