Well the subjects we are covering today are: super busy summer, Rob and Missy's wedding, Kristin's wedding, my new job, and Erik is out of town all summer for work.
Our summer is in full swing. Anthony had his first T-ball practice on Monday, his team is appropriately called the "Angels". He looked so darn cute out there. Some kids were completely focused, others were playing with the "sand" on the field, and I would say Anthony was right in the middle. His attention was good when the coaches were focused on him but if they would move on so would he. Today he spent the day with my in-law's and they relayed he did better practicing at their place. He also drove the four wheeler by himself and rode two of their horses by himself. Grandpa Tony was very proud. Anthony starts St.Joe's summer program tomorrow. He is excited to hit the pool as well as all of the field trips the have planned for the summer.
On Saturday night we had Rob and Missy's wedding. Had a blast! It felt good to get dressed up, see lots of old friends, and dance like crazy. After the dance we had a crew at our house and partied like it was 1999. Erik and I also felt extremely old the next day. But it was absolutely worth it!
I thought that I was going to be able to pull off going to Kristin's wedding as Leslie's date that is this weekend in South Carolina. My new boss approved my time off even though I just started but unfortunately Erik is leaving tonight for the rest of the week to work out of town-BOO! It is going to be an odd week with both Erik and Leslie gone. My two constant adult companions are out of town. I really do not like sleeping alone (without Erik, not Leslie :) but am grateful that it is only Wed-Fri this week. It sounds like it is going to be Mon-Fri going forward this summer so I will be flying solo through out the week with the boys. I am very lucky to have all the help from Erik's parents, I honestly do not know what I would do without their help. They watched Anthony all day today, picked up Alex from daycare on their way to bring him home, and had an awesome hot dish made for us for supper. LOVE THEM!!
I also LOVE my new job. I think it is just the challenge I was looking for. The techie world is a big learning curve for me but everyone in the office is around my age, super eager to help, and laid back. Just the way I like it! We have a mandatory outing to lunch for Rib Fest on Thursday, should be a good time.
Well that is your weekly update of the Tortorice's. Alex is having a hard time due to his teeth FINALLY all coming through. He has done really well transitioning to full time daycare. I definitely have been missing my Mon and Fri's with the boys but am trying to focus on the fact that this is good for all of us in the long term. I guess we shall see!
