Locked Out

So, today I get a call from my mom....I could tell something was wrong....Guess what Little Miss A did when my mom went out to the garage to bring drinks in? She closed the kitchen door and LOCKED it! Mom quickly ran over to a neighbors house and called me. Luckily, I was already in my car going to lunch, so I was at her house in less than 5 minutes. When I arrived, they were at the front door (Abby inside, mom outside) playing peek-a-boo. Mom knew if she rang the doorbell Abby would come running, and she could keep her occupied until I got there. There's never a dull moment! Of course this had to happen the day I'm leaving both of my kids for the first time. :-)

Thankful....

Last night Samuel, Abigail and I went out to dinner with my parents and "Uncle" Casey. We were having a nice pleasant meal...Samuel even spoke "Italian" to our waiter when he ordered his food..."I would like spaghetti and meatballs, please" in a strong Italian accent. It was too cute. He was sitting laughing and talking while eating his fried mozzarella sticks. In the blink of an eye he started choking. Casey and Papa were sitting next to him and they both jumped up immediately. Casey started preforming the heimlich but the cheese wasn't budging. Papa then took over and at this point Samuel looked like he was going to pass out. Thank goodness, after the 3 or 4th attempt Papa was able to dislodge the piece of cheese. It was a scary scene, one I never want to experience again.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game....

After Tom's graduation ceremony we went to an Orioles baseball game. Memaw was nice enough to hang back with Abigail so I could go with Tom, Samuel & Pepaw. Daddy & Samuel surprised me with a pink O's hat and said I MUST wear it the entire game or else I couldn't go with them! We had a fun night and to top it off the O's WON!!!!
And for dinner Samuel ate.....PEANUTS, ICE CREAM, and a LOLLIPOP! Yum...Yum...

GMU Graduate

On Saturday, Tom participated in the GMU graduation ceremony, where he completed his Masters Degree in Business Administration. He actually finished his studies this past December. Samuel kindly asked him afterwards not to ever go back to school because the ceremony was sooo boring! LOL
