Rock Lobster, Singing Pirates, Cake, and Bananas

Time flies when you're having fun I suppose. It does not seem like it's been a week since the last post. Well, Teresa (my sister) and her 3 girls, Lauren (age 8), Katie (age 7), and Abby (age 4) were in town for part of the week. So, they certainly brightened our week and helped in the fun (i.e. play hard). We all met out at Shells for dinner on Thursday and joined up with G.G. (my grandmother) and my parents. It's always nice, even if brief, for all of us to be together as family. Thanks G.G.! BTW, I had rock lobster and it was really great.

Friday, we all (same party as above sans G.G. and Grandpa) went to Disney World (Magic Kingdom). Oh man, did we have a good time. It was the first time for the girls. We saw singing pirates (you know we've been on this pirate kick lately too) ... Dumbo ... Pooh ... Peter Pan ... Grand Prix ... Country Bears. I do not think any of us got enough. Needless to say we were completely worn out by the end of the day. Thanks to Nana (and G'pa) for everything, but especially the mouse ears for the boys (they are still wearing them).

Saturday was a recovery day which really just means we stayed at home and worked hard. We put some work into Harry's "boat bed" (thanks Mr. Jonathan). It's not looking like a boat quite yet but it is now in Harry's room with the bed (and Harry) on it. Oh yeah, we (I) also made a cake to celebrate earth revolution #30 for Jonathan -- Happy Birthday Mr. Jonathan! We still have a bunch of cake so I guess we'll just have to celebrate all week.

Today was nice... another "recovery" day. Work, play, work play ... I made banana bread for the first time. It was pretty good. We ate it with our friends and neighbors Simone and Jeff and family where we just got back from a wonderful time. We definitely had a banana theme happening -- kebabs, bread, and Foster (on fire). The kids had a blast. We had fun ... we ate good food. Thanks Simone and Jeff! I look forward to more good times with our friends. Jeff and I talked about taking the boys out to the local race track for some fun one night soon. I imagine that the boys will love it. Stay tuned for that.

Well, this ends another week / weekend with the Sauers. It all seems to go by so fast. One of these days I feel like one of these we're going to be watching our boys graduate or get married or something. Growing up seems to go by in the blink of an eye.

Friday Pirates and Saturday Stitches

About last night... Aim and I made it out on a date to see movie Pirates of the Caribbean. We both thought it was an excellent movie. I'm looking forward to watching again with our boys once they are old enough. Thanks to Mimi (Amy's mom) for babysitting so that we could get out.

Ooooh man. What a day today! At least FSU won the football game today. Our plans for the day were to rest, see my parents (Nana and Grandpa to the boys), then come home, grill out with Marc and his girlfriend (whom we have not met -- I wonder if he'll get married?), and watch the FSU game. Well, it didn't work out like that at all... Sometime after 9:00 AM, Scott (16 mos old) gets his little pinky finger run over by a toy firetruck. You wouldn't think this is a big deal hearing this but believe me when I tell you there was blood everywhere from the poor little guy. So, we ended up spending most of the rest of the day at the emergency room at All Children's Hospital in St. Pete. What a pain! Well, in retrospect it was all probably worth as Scott now has 3 stiches on his left pinky. Fortunately nothing was broken. Besides having to wait around most of the day, we had good people taking care of our little boy.

Scott, if one day you ever read this, I am sincerely sorry you had to endure as much pain as you did today. You were a champ today! I've never seen you so very brave. I hope by the time you are old enough to read this that you do not have much of a recollection of all that you had to go through today. I love you!

Po' Boy Lunch on the Bayou

I went here for lunch today: Cajun Cafe on the Bayou. It was awesome -- literally on the bayou. I had a crawfish po' boy -- very good. I think this would be a good place for a date. ;-)

Slide-show

Hello... Hello again.

We love our 2 boys, Harry and Scott, so very much. So I imagine I will mention them a bunch here. Well, we took a bunch of black and white pictures of them this summer. We just got them developed and this week I put up a slide-show to show them off. I hope to be able to put up more in the near future.
