Busy weekend!

As you could probably tell by our post on Saturday we did get to go to Chuck E. Cheese this weekend. Tatum had been bugging us about going for about a month and every time we would think about going she would end up sick. We even considered waiting till next weekend but figured we better go while everyone felt good. The girls got to play some games, ride some rides, and had a great time. Mom and dad even got a workout while we were there chasing Keely across the restaurant several times. The weather was great and when we got done there we decided to go walk around one of the great parks in Lincoln and the girls played at the playground there too. All the activity Saturday was almost too much for Tatum and when we left the park she was limping pretty bad and needed carried. When we got home and everyone got ready for bed we decided we would work on Keely's hair for a while. Scott did a great job and we were able to get her whole head into box ponies. Hair is a whole other post so I won't go into details other than it looks great and we will try to finish it this week. Sunday we headed to Scott's little brothers birthday party about 15 miles away from where we live. His brother will be 6 this week and his other brother is 4. The girls had a great time playing and eating pizza and ice cream cake. It was even nice enough out to play on the swing set. I am sure some of you are wondering about his brothers being so much younger than him. Well, to make a long story short, Scott too is adopted. His birth mother and her husband now have two little boys and we get to see them every once in a while. When we left the party the girls were so tired. We didn't even hardly make it down the street and they were asleep. The rest of the day was just spent relaxing and gearing up for another week. Today Tatum and Keely played outside. Tatum seems to be walking better and better every day. I have yet to see her run but think it will not be long and she will be off and running again.

Scott works for BNSF and starting last week he has been taking some welding classes at the college here in Lincoln. The classes are part of his apprenticeship. His normal working hours are 7-3:30pm and while he is taking the classes for the next couple weeks he will just be working in the morning. The classes are in the afternoon so he is still home at his normal time. Between work and going to class he has been able to come home for lunch. The girls are so excited for him to come home. When Tate gets up in the mornings she asks "Where's daddy?" then "Is he coming home for lunch?" They sure will be disappointed when he isn't able to come home for lunch anymore. Maybe we will have to surprise him and take him lunch once in a while. We wish everyone a good week and will post later in the week. Tatum has her appointment with the feeding and growth team on Thursday so we will update on that too.
