Lake house

Today we went to our friend's lake house. David got to play in a sand pile with his friends, Jake and Ben. We had to give him a bath at the house because sand wouldn't come off his clothes. He also played in a small cabin, he called it "Small House"- perfect size for him. But most of all, David enjoyed fishing. He didn't want to go home because he didn't catch a fish. Earlier that day his friend Ben caught a catfish. All boys were excited, especially big boys (AKA - dads.) This was a lot of fun and hopefully we will get to do it again soon.
That's all I've got.

Hanukkah

Well, David is loving the lighting of the candles and opening gis gifts every night. He gets to open 2 each night - 1 from us and 1 from Alex, Philippe, and baby Sasha. Some of the gifts he opened were coloring book, book, rhyme time puzzle, woods, animal crackers, journal with small markers, game Don't break the Ice, magents, and monkey "Cheeky". He gets very excited when he tries to open the gift. Tomorrow we will play the dreidel with $$ and go to my mom's house for dinner.
That's all I've got.

The Bee movie

Today we went to see the Bee Movie. It was great, I really enjoyed it. David did really good as well. He sat through the whole movie and even laughed a few times. We got a medium size popcorn, thinking that David will eat it, but surprisingly he did not like it at all, he probably takes it after his mama. So, Mike had to eat it by himself, poor him. After that Jake came over and we went to the park with the bikes. The boys got carried away with their play because they didn't nap, so Jake went home. David took a short nap and was much better for the rest of the evening. We went out and bought a new camera, Sony Cybershot, for Mike's birthday, so he is all busy with it now.
That's all I've got.

Last game of the season

This Saturday was the last soccer game of the season. We were somewhat happy because we were getting tired of doing it 2 times a week, and at the same time sad because David won't have a chance to run freely with his friends. Oh, well, we might register him for it in Spring. After the game we went to Peter Piper Pizza for the end of the season party and it was great! David got a trophy, and so did I (for being an assistant of an assistant couch). I am thinking of engraving it for the memories. His friend Jake didn't make it to the party, so David was sad, until he saw all the games in that place and wanted to play all day. Well, I hope we will sign him up in Spring again.
That's all I've got.

re: date

Well, our evening was great. We had a great time at Vincent's, we always love to go there, and then we went to the MOVIE!!!. I was very excited about the movie, and had difficulty choosing which movie to go see because I haven't been in a movie theater forever. Anyhow, we (I should say I), decided to go see Michael Clayton with George Clooney in it. WASTE of my freaking time!!!! The movie starts off with a scene, and then shows what happened 4 days earlier - well, that took almost the whole movie - and at the end of the movie we were back to the beginning of the movie. In other words, smart people left this movie after 15 min, we had to watch the whole thing, hoping it would get better. When it finally finished Misha and I got up to leave, but everyone else was still sitting - probably in shock that movie was over and we have yet to see the point! Anyway, in spite of this bad experience, we had a good time being out on a date. Next time we may rent, though :)
That's all I've got.

Date

Well, tonight Misha and I are going out on a date. David went to his grandmother Vera for the night and we are off to celebrate Misha's birthday and our 4th wedding anniversary. I am excited to finally be able to go out, just the two of us. Misha decided to go to Vincent's since he absolutely loves their Prime Rib, so off we go... I bet parents out there are jealous of us, so.. be jealous :)

That's all I've got.

More germs

Yesterday we had a follow-up appointment with David's doctor because of the illness that David had 2.5 weeks ago. Everything looked great and we went home with a clean bill of health. Lat night David woke because of the nightmare he was having and after he calmed down, he asked for water. As he was drinking his water, he was shaking, ad I knew right there and then that he had a fever. Sure enough, it was 101.7. We did not go to the doctor today because David does not have any symptoms other hen fever at this time, but we will go tomorrow, since the doctor is leaving town. I will try to keep you posted.

That's all I've got.
