We got big doin’s goin’ on in the Garrett household these days. Last Sunday we wrapped up baseball, and promptly packed our bags and went with Jon to spend the week in Buffalo.
We had a great time, spending our days poolside while Jon was at work. Then going out to supper or to sight see when he was home in the evenings. Jon has lived in Buffalo for seven months now, and we FINALLY made it to Niagara Falls…it’s a full 15 minutes from his apartment in Tonawanda. Ridiculous, eh? What can I say, they all seemed like good reasons to put it off at the time…
It was absolutely gorgeous and I felt remiss that we had not dragged the kids there sooner.
We were able to ride the Maid of the Mist…
which was stunning.
And were also able to tour the Cave of the Winds…
which was exhilarating. Or wet…depending on your mood, I suppose.
We enjoyed all of it so much that we’ve decided to do it all again this week.
Tomorrow, my Dad and Anne are driving up from North Carolina and will be joining us on a short trip to Buffalo. We will see the falls and move my hubby back home! Then Friday, it’s time for the Ohio State Fair. Man, I love the fair, second only to Christmas…
But, in recap, because I haven’t posted in so long…
1. Jon got a job in Columbus!!!!! It is a 6-18 month contract and it’s at Chase…that's
2 strikes
and I ain’t lyin’. But, it’s at home, he will be home, we will have him home, EVERY NIGHT! So, we’ll take it and be pretty darn happy!
2. Sam’s baseball team took first place in their league. They had a 2 county Pony League Tournament 2 weeks ago and they won the whole dang thing! It was purty exciting, if I do say so myself.
And finally,
3. Last but MOST IMPORTANT!!!! My baby boy Liam Murphy turned 10 last week!!! How can this be happening?? 10 years old? Please, stop…I want to get off! My baby’s keep getting older…I want off this ride now!
Dang, he is a cutie!!! Just like his Daddy.
I love you all!
