Should I use my invisibility for Good or Evil?!?!?

We were going tubing in Helen, GA and I told David that once you locked the van, give the keys to the workers and they had a place where they stored them. David didn't feel comfortable doing this because so many of our belongings were in the car, that he decided to take the key with us down the river. If he would have told me he was set on that, I would have been able to give him some suggestions, but he instead, just ignored my suggestions.

We tube all the way down the river and as we are waiting for the bus, David realizes he lost the key to the car. The bizarre part is we locked his dad's keys in our glove compartment. The irony of it all is when we got back to the car, it wasn't even locked... except for the glove box. We paid someone $20 to break into David's dad's truck where he had an extra set of keys. I suggested that Wanda, the boys and I wait in Helen (shop and eat) while they drove back to our house to get the extra key. This would have only taken 2 hours... however,

This is a picture of very stubborn men... all four of them... no one listened to me and David's dad insisted we drive all the way to the cabin to drop us off and then they would drive back home and get the keys. This doubled the length of time of this experience. In the meantime, I was getting good and worked up thinking about where that extra key may have been and what our options would be if it wasn't at home. In the end, it all worked out and we did have the key at home, but it just begs the questions as Chandler from Friends put it, "Should I use my invisibility for good or for evil?"

HAS is an Olympic sleeper - meaning if sleeping were an Olympic event he would medal. ( He gets that from his mother). I think he plays so hard that when he crashes, he's out for the count. He loves the blanket and throws it back in his crib when he wakes up from his nap. I can't count the number of times we've found him asleep with the blanket half in his mouth and half out. We tried to get another blanket so we could interchange them easily, but he wouldn't have any part in that. He throws the other blanket out of his crib if we try to give him the wrong one.

I love these little preppy outfits... David hates them. He says I need to dress him more like a boy... I think he looks handsome... David doesn't look that bad either :)

Our Father's Day was a little bit different because JMS was in Pennsylvania with David's dad and David had to work. Apparently criminals don't care about holidays... Anyway, HAS loves David's uniform, the badges and the toys on the gun belt. He loves to push the emergency button on David's radio. HAS is now recognizing the words patch, stripes, and badge and can point them out on David's uniform.

One thing I hate

While I love the hustle and bustle of a city like Atlanta most of the time, I hate the summers in Atlanta... particularly June, July and August. 90 degrees in high humidity is terrible. I hate it when you step outside and instantly feel like you need a shower. This is magnified by the fact that I am 28 weeks pregnant. I like the fact that there is something here for everyone... but I hate the summers here... I can only imagine how much worse it will be in August when it is equally hot, but I am 38 weeks pregnant... ahhhh... the things in life to look forward to.

I love being pregnant

I love being pregnant and what is even better about this time is my closest cousin is due about two weeks before me. We are both having boys in Septemberish. While this is certainly not a flattering picture of either of us, we did have a great time together at the cabin.

Our other two are 5 months apart. Her daughter was born almost exactly 5 months after HAS. JMS is an awesome brother and loves any young children. He loved playing and holding the baby as if she was her own. We tried to get Lisa to give her up, as we know that no Sokols will ever have a girl, but she wasn't having it. Oh, well... What can you do?!?!?

We did realize that HAS is a little jealous and doesn't like Mommy to hold and love on Babies, but hopefully that will change when the new Sokol baby gets here in September. He didn't mind being the one that gave Her the love, just as long as mommy wasn't doing it.

Old Friends

HAS in his Alabama football helmet... can't tolerate
that... have to raise him as a Buckeye fan :)

While I was in Alabama, I was able to catch up with Sandra Conner. She's probably my oldest friend. We've been friends since middle school when I raided their junk food cabinet because we never had one and where I watched "Dirty Dancing" with my hands over my eyes because I was not allowed to watch PG-13 movies (not until I was 17 :) ) We had a great time catching up.

Bridge Street

HAS loved the fountains, but he was very slow to approach them at first... He was running through the fountains and of course, he fell. He scraped his chin and never even cried about it. This prompted mom to ask me "Does he even feel pain?" He does, he's just a brute.

JMS striking his pose in the fountains. He loves being a big brother and allowing little brother to follow him around everywhere. We are living it up until JMS gets sick of himMbeing everywhere he is.
