How you been doing?

We have been doing fine, just very busy.
Recap: Devin and I went to children's play in Hyde Park, it was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This movie is the first movie that Dev would sit thru and it saved our sanity on the car ride from Panama City to Boston. And since this is my all time favorite, this was a sure thing. We had so much fun, although if you ask Dev what her favorite part was she will tell you when she got to blow her $3 bubbles for the fizzy drink act and the $2 everlasting gobstoppers. But she did pay attention to the whole thing and was loving every minute of it!

Next day we got up early and went to the Gore Place for the 22ND Annual Sheep shearing Festival. They had sheep being sheared by hand and electric. They also had sheep and goat herding dogs. We had to pay $20 to get in, unbeknowst to me i thought it was free. So anyways, like i said in the last post we didn't have much time. We ended up staying for 1:45 min. So we went straight to the sheep and saw them shearing with a razor and the sheep was so calm and i think happy to lose all the dreads. The guy said that they have never hurt the sheep so that is why they are so docile in the process. Since they have never been hurt by the farmers, they are not afraid of them, the dogs another story. Then we went to the hand-shearing tent, where the guy doing it has prolly been doing it his whole life. He sheared the whole sheep by hand with these huge scissors and then laid out the fleece, truly amazing to us. They even gave us some fresh fleece to take home! It was extremely oily and needed to be washed, but still how cool? Then we went to watch the herding dogs! This was absolutely phenomenal. Everyone should be able to watch these beautiful natural instints take place. The dogs were amazing in thier ability to listen and observe the whole field and know exactly what was going on at all times. They knew thier place and thier job and they did it like they loved it. Like the saying goes, "It isnt working if you love it", and these dogs did not seem to be "working". They even had a 9 month old who was leashed the whole time except for once when he was let go and he went crazy trying to round up the sheep and goats, it was very entertaining. We could have watched them all day. Nature at its best!
Next day we went to the park for a stroll, bike lessons and a pick-a-nic basket. All right so everything was great, we found a good spot on the charles river and we ate and sat around enjoying the breeze and mother nature. All right so Tiger and I went on a run, well Tiger runs after me on Devs bike, anyways we go and drop the bike off at the car and go back to meet the Co. and right when i meet up with them Marlee falls out the stroller and catches herself with her face. We pick her up and she was just pouring blood and screaming and Jeremy freaks out and says we need to go to hospital. So i ride in the back with the girls and i am trying to convey to jeremy that we need to reevaluate the situation and finally i get him to. He decides that he wants to pay a doc to let us know that she is ok. We get to the ER and they are setting up a quarrantine area for suspected flu patients(no good). While we wait the 2 hours to see a dr we decide that it is a school night and we need to get home and we leave.

Next day i drop dev off at school and proceed to the pedis office. Dr says she is good and all is ok!

Two days later Dev has wrestling practice and then straight to a game. She did as good as she can. Tonys is loving us and the late games.

Yesterday-Jeremy tried to buy us a new truck but the dealer doesnt take bank drafts. Too Bad for them, it was a guarenteed sale. Too bad for us, i am still in the company rental :(

Today Dev has practice and Marlee is walking all over the place. Wherever she wants to go. She cannnot stand without pulling up but once she is there off she goes. She thinks she is the funniest and coolest kid. We must give her that impression...

Wow so this has turned into a novel and you are lucky cuz i am stopping. The school just called and i have to go and pick devin up cuz she has a rash on her chin from jawline to jawline. so since i have to drive all the way there to check it out then i am just going to pick her up! Happy Friday and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

~One Love~
