And That's How We Picnic

My friend Laney is expecting their second baby (Congratz Mommy!) and like me when I was pregnant with Sawyer, she SOOO sick. The morning, noon and night, green at the gills, just shoot me now kind of sick. So we ran over two nights ago to pick up Nolan for a sleep over to give Laney and Brandon a break. Sawyer and Nolan had SUCH a terrific time together! They were like two peas in a pod-just running around like wild little monkeys!

Last night we headed to Lewis & Clark Landing for a picnic with some friends even though the storm clouds were rolling in. But hey, we weren't gonna let a little rain get in the way of our fun.

We also had a new roommate move into the basement this week! Her name is Mary and she is in the specialized accelerated nursing program at Creighton University. She made the LONG drive from Portland, Oregon and we are so very excited to have her with us! (She's the one holding Sawyer)

Who needs grilling tools? A "Y" shaped stick and an ice scraper doused in antibacterial hand sanitizer work just fine!

Nothing like grilling under an umbrella!

Just as the salmon burgers were coming off the grill, the rain started. Just sporadic , large, heavy drops at first.....that quickly turned into a good steady pour......that turned into gusting sheets of rain.....that turned into mad dashes to the cars, heaving everything into trunks, umbrellas turning inside out and lots of runny mascara. It was eventful :)

But nevertheless, we had a great time!

P.S. Sawyer's eyes are doing great! He went to his post-op visit the other day and Dr. Troia said they are looking good! They will be blood shot for a while, but that should go away soon!
