Free Class!

I found this class through Jessica's blog. I recently found her site while looking for some photoshop help. Can I just say what a generous woman, offering tons of free advice and now a free class.
I am excited about this class because I am constantly struggling to document memories for Teige. As a child I always wanted more in the way of stories and memories. I can't wait!

Humanity

Because this is a blog about my son, I try to keep my political views and problems of the world off of it. But, I think he should know a little bit about those ideals. Trying to figure out what to include or exclude has been a challenge for me. How will he learn how to live in the future if he doesn't understand the failures of our world's past?

All Dressed Up With Nowhere to Go

On our way to meetup with some moms and tots today we had car trouble. Sadly, we never made it to our destination. We were stranded at a Dunkin' Donuts in the middle of nowhere. Now, I love D+D as much as the next girl but Teige is not a huge fan.

Thankfully, I was well prepared. We were able to enjoy lunch at a nearby picnic table while waiting for Karl to rescue us.
Since Karl takes the train to work we were stuck for awhile. We did our best to make the most of the situation. Teige loves watching cars speed down the road (and yes, because of this, I fear the day I can no longer restrain, I mean contain him with a stroller). Since we were near a main street we happily watched the traffic.
After awhile Teige grew tired of this.
So, we decided to go on an adventure.

I told you we were in the middle of nowhere!Finally, Karl came and rescued us. And they lived.....

Okay, we only made it about 2 miles before we had to pull back over.
In the end we made it home safely. This very long day got me thinking. I used to consider myself pretty prepared for disaster. I always have a backup outfit for the baby and a decent stash of diapers on hand. We have jumper cables and the charger for my cell in the car. Because I am a nurse I have a ridiculously well stocked fist aid kit in my trunk. Now that I have Teige I realize this is not enough. This weekend I plan to add a gallon of water , spare can of formula, and a heavy blanket to my arsenal.

How are you prepared for the unexpected?

Over the River . . .

Frequently, as CEO of Teige Corp, travel is required. Today was one of those days.

My boss, Teige, and I attended an important conference.........

Okay.. okay, we went to a playgroup in Somerset.


This plaground was great! It overlooked the water. With school back in session, our group had the place all to ourselves.


Buried treasure was the theme for the day.

We dug for pirate money and redeemed our "gold" for treasure.

Here is a good pic of Teige with his booty.

With the help of a loaned GPS (thanks Mom!), I was able to enjoy a serene drive home. I love cruising through the winding backroads of the boonies. Especially when I don't have to worry about looking for street signs.


The wonderful scene when we arrived home.






I Love playing with my boy.
