Happy Birthday Dad!

From on the porch looking in.

Early AM romps.

At least dad was looking at the camera. Happy birthday!

And Dad was even home from the hospital and is doing much better. He was so happy to come home and see his girls, that missed him very much over the past week. And so did I. It is nice to have someone else get up in the middle of the night when they decide to stagger thier nighttime wakeups. Yes we are back to that but hoping it is related to teething or a growth spurt. On any note, Rich is better, not in as much discomfort and pain, and has some follow-up tests to do over the next week to make sure things are 100% in check. Thanks to everyone that called, emailed, and thought of him this week.

So this weekend we were supposed to away for Rich's bday but in view of everything that was going on we decided it not to be the best idea to go to Jamaica. Actually my boss convinced me when she said, Heather, do you want to deal with this in a Jamaican hospital? Good point. So instead we went to Atlantic City. Fun times. We both fell asleep on the beach yesterday for an hour, and then went to the Borgata and indugled in thier jaccuzzi and heated pool. The pool has music that you can hear underwater. It was totally amazing. If you have never been there, it is worth the insane amounts they charge you. Not quite Jamaica but super nice anyway. And we stepped up our game by not sticking to slots only, and hit the roulette table. Rich actually did pretty well and won $160 which is more than I can say we have won on slots. It was pretty funny when he hit the last time and cashed out, the dealer said, "I got you. Hit and run, way to play." Ha. The funnier part is that it was a $5 roulette table on a Sunday morning.

Ok, baby updates. Reese is taking like 6 steps. Lily is trying to keep up with her desperately. I got their report cards from Kindercare the other day and on Reese's it read "Caught her walking alone on two seperate times.". Pretty exciting. Its kinda funny to watch her walk since she is still only 10 months old and walking.

Tomorrow, as part of our planned vacation days off, we are hitting a pumpkin patch to get some pumpkins to carve up for Halloween. I think Reese is going to just sit in front of them and smack them, but that will be fun anyway. Pics to follow.
