New attitude!

Ok, so I'll tell you about Wed. Very busy day. Took Michael to his basketball camp and then ran errands. My Nicholas is such a trooper. He goes with me wherever and always HELPS. When Michael was little, I really avoided errands with him. He just didn't like going. With Nicholas, he'll go and actually be great company and a great helper. I just did so much stuff and it seems too trivial to write about. But, 1 thing that we did was go get a YMCA membership. What is amazing to me is that the YMCA offers a FREE membership to any deployed family. All I had to do was take Mike's orders to our YMCA and sign up. It took maybe 10 minutes. I added up the cost and it would've been over $400 if we had paid out of pocket. The weird thing is that they do not advertise it. Just word of mouth. So, I'm telling everybody!!! The kids are thrilled - there are (naturally) a lot of kid friendly programs as well as a huge indoor pool which will be lovely about September.
We hear from Mike somehow. He manages to "bogart" computers wherever he goes to log onto Hotmail to send us a message. He is a charmer just like his littlest son. :)
Here's some pics of flowers from our yard....
