Cousins in town

It is horrible, but it has been a year since we have seen my Aunt Judy and my cousins. And it always seems that its only when Cousin Debbie and her family come into town that we get together. This year, it was their turn to come and see Max and the new house. It was great to see them, and Kar enjoyed playing with her second cousins too! Max was asleep when this photo was taken, and Kris was the photog, of course. But it was a great afternoon hanging out, enjoying the weather and catching up! I promise it won't be another year before we see you again!

This weekend has been low-key for us, but crazy for Orlando. This weekend, Orlando was the host to the NBA All-star game at the new Amway Arena. We've been avoiding downtown like the plague, but we did go to Sea World, and we didn't notice any traffic issues. So I can't wait to hear all the buzz about the weekend at work tomorrow.

The weekend always goes by too fast, though. Kar and Max were really good at Sea World today. Karmann is starting to know the different shows pretty well, and tells us what she wants to see now. Today is was the Shamu show - and thank goodness we caught it when we did or we wouldn't have gotten to see it today. It was a crappy weather day, so the park was not that busy - perfect for us!

Max is officially teething. He's drooling and blowing bubbles, and has this new grunting noise he makes. He cries when he bites his hands, and is not nursing as long as he normally does - which means he gets up more often at night. Hopefully we both get through it! But other than that, he loves to talk and smile and laugh. I've been trying to get a good giggle session on video, but haven't been able to yet. He does it a lot at school with his caregiver Edelima so I am going to take the camera in this week.

Well, the week is going to be tough as usual. Lots of meetings and things. We are getting used to the routine now, so each day gets a little easier. I better go get things together so we can watch the All-star game, and get to bed early (I hope!)
