I'm Ready When You Are!

We're working hard in the Black household preparing for the new baby sister. The garage is being turned into an extra bedroom. Tyler and Shelby are helping Daddy and Papaw frame up the old garage into a new bedroom. It's an exciting time for all of us.

Yesterday, my sister came over and she put together the many new items we had sitting in boxes. The baby girl is now ready for her new swing, bouncy seat, Bob stroller , car seat, bassinet, playpen, and other various items that her Auntie Lou Lou opened up and got ready for her.
I am so ready for this baby girl to go from my belly to my arms. I don't know if I'll ever put her in this
because I am so ready to cradle her in my arms that I know I will have a hard time putting her down. For now I need to get back to reality. I need to finish the housework, fold the laundry, get the grocery list completed so I can go buy them and get back. We have a birthday party at 5 and then back home to prepare Shelby for her first day of school tomorrow!

Conversations with Tyler

After "the incident" on Saturday with his Dad, Tyler and I were on or way back home after getting some medical supplies for his injured father. My 2 year old son and I had this conversation:
Me: I am SO glad that you were there to take care of Daddy while I was gone. I know you were a big boy for Daddy.

Tyler: Yep, there was a lotta blood coming out of Daddy's head.

Me: I know, and you stayed by his side and that helped him a bunch!

Tyler: Mom, I was just afraid that my daddy was going to die.

At this point, I felt a huge lump begin to develop in my throat because my little guy was so concerned with his dad. What a guy! Keep in mind that he is only TWO years old.

By the way, Brien's eye was pretty swollen this morning and looked pretty yucky, but I guess it's healing. We are all still counting our blessings that the outcome was as it was when it could have been so much worse!! I guess when work commences next weekend I can sell tickets and offer theater seating for the action packed show!

Detour

"So, Mr Black is removing garage doors a part of your daily work routine?" the doctor asks.



"No sir, I'm a plumber" the patient replies.



Five stitches later, hubby was back home finishing up the task at hand.



He is okay, but it could have been MUCH worse than it actually was. He was taking down the garage door and forgot to release the tension springs. The door snapped and came back on him cutting about an inch strip less than a half inch from his right eye.



The addition to the house is coming along rather quickly. The floor in the garage is almost complete making it level with the rest of the house. Baby sister just might have a completed bedroom before she makes her much anticipated arrival! :)
