A Well-Rounded Weekend
I have to declare this weekend a success.
Friday night was low-key family night and Rick & I got to watch Survivor from the night before.
On Saturday Rick got a “Rick Day” – I took Mallory with me to a baby shower (where she was darling and well-behaved, I might add) and Rick got to go mountain biking. After that, Rick & our neighbor got half of the dock put in (so we are one step closer to getting our boat in the water!)
Saturday night we went to dinner at Mallory’s BFF’s house. It took the girls about 1.2 seconds to …
"It's all her fault"
Mals goes to Uncle Mikey & Auntie Em’s on Wednesday.
I set her Princess boots out for Rick to take today so she could play outside with Lauren.
My sister said that no Princess boots arrived with Mallory today, so I asked Rick about them. His response?
“Ooops. I forgot. But it’s all Mallory’s fault because she moved them from the door to the kitchen when I was making my smoothie.”
For some reason I laughed out loud that he is blaming this on her.
Man of few words
If you’ve met my husband, you know he doesn’t say much. But check out this email he sent me this morning at 2:18a:

subject the week
Went to fill up the tank the other day so I could return the car to the rental agency. Figured there would be a few gas stations at the airport so I would wait to fill up there. Got to the airport exit and saw nothing. Had to go all the way out a road till I saw one after a couple miles, maybe two miles. Almost …
Just the girls
Rick left us. He’s on spring break with a bunch of college girls. He’ll be back soon.
I always enjoy the first night or two when he travels. I can sit and fart around on the computer as much as I want. I can catch up on my trashy reality TV shows that he always makes fun of me for watching (“the most dramatic ______ EVER!”). I can even go to bed at 8p with a bowl of ice cream. Not that I can’t do that stuff when he’s home but he usually wants me to play him in Wii …
Go Blue Jackets!
Rick & I had a fun date night last night while Mallory had a fun night at Auntie Em’s. My old friend Hitch is the coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets and got us tickets to the game.
We had a quick dinner in Greektown and sort of took our time getting to the Joe – I was looking forward to seeing Coach after the game and the time in between was just fluff. Plus I figured Coach wouldn’t know if we got there late anyway. I didn’t even bring my camera because usually the seats are up in the …
Dad rocks
Go Rick! Two nights of bottle-free successful bedtimes. I didn’t even know about the Wednesday night being bottle-free until last night. I guess I can put “pack up bottles” on the weekend to-do list. *Sniff*.
Video of the Slide…
Ok, before I sign off – here are two videos for you, a little teaser of all the other video & pictures you’ll get to see once we get home….
The first one is your view going down the slide. The second video you can see Mallory’s face as she & Rick go down the slide. Priceless.
Catching Up

As I was reviewing pictures, I realized I missed posting some stuff. Plus, I want a daily list of the stuff we’ve done so here goes (I’ll be able to post as long as Rick keeps Mallory occupied and vice versa).
We went to Two Lovers Point earlier this week (http://www.twoloverspoint.com/). We paid our $3 to get a view of Tumon Bay; there was a souvenir shop and all these buildings. The funniest thing is that in the travel book I have from back when my folks were here way back when shows a …
a bunch of sickos
We are all sick. Mallory, rick, me ~ even cooper. The humans have colds and the canine has a bladder infection (which we are hoping will explain his recent peeing in the house).
Mals is now 3 months old. She has developed into a fabulous night sleeper and a not-so-great daytime sleeper. She still loves her baths. She is very tolerant of all of the escapades rick & i drag her along on, like leaving the house at 6p on sunday to hit a couple of super bowl parties. She just rolls with it which is outstanding. She is also agreeable …
