Phrase of the Week

The last couple of days Jace has started saying a new phrase which just cracks Luis and I up. Jace only says this if he is talking to Luis or I and we are distracted by something or someone else. If we do not give him our undivided attention he puts his hands on both of our cheeks turns our face to look at him and says "look at me!!" How funny is that!!!!

Wrong Daycare - Oops!!

So after the hurricane we learned that Jace's daycare, "Little Angels Playhouse" was going to be closed for 4-6 weeks due to water damage from leaks in the roof and leaks around the windows and doors. Thank goodness they have another location that we were able to take Jace to - once they got power back. Luckily for us Jace has the most wonderful Grandparents and Tia's because Dorene, Trini and Yolanda were able to watch Jace on Monday and Tuesday and Grandma & Paw Paw Cain were able to watch him on Wednesday.
On Thursday the day finally came for Luis to take Jace to the other location, which we had had to do about a year earlier when there was a plumbing problem at Jace's location. No worries this should be a piece of cake right, WRONG!!! Turns out Luis took Jace to the other "Little Angels Playhouse" daycare he had the year earlier (which is no longer owned by the same owners as ours). What is scary is they took Jace in. About an hour and a half later after speaking with Luis about it I realized that he had taken him to the wrong place. Needless to say we were both panicked. I was out of the office on my way to get him immediately and Luis was on the phone with the daycare to inform them of the mistake. Obviously Jace was pretty shaken up being in a strange place with no familiar faces. Probably one of the scariest events of my life!!!

Our Beloved Bailey Boy

Well it certainly has been a rough year for our family and our 4 legged kiddo's. See my Mom's email below:

Dear Friends of Bailey,
At 11:30 this morning, Skip and I are taking Bailey on his last trip in the car --to his vet, Dr. Webb. Bailey suddenly lost the use of his back legs last weekend, and after a week of denial on my part it is now time to say our goodbyes. Other than his legs, he is perfectly healthy and continues to eat well and be interested in what's going on around him, so that makes it that much harder. Anyway, please keep us in your thoughts as we lose this precious member of our family.
Thanks,
Debbie

Happy Birthday To You!!

Tonight while eating dinner in the dark (since we were still without power from Hurricane Ike) the 3 of us had a romantic candle lit dinner of spaghetti O's and frito pie. The funniest thing happened - Jace saw the candles and he started to sing "Happy Birthday To You" Luis and I just looked at each other and laughed!!!

Strep Throat - Again

Yuck, I have strep throat for the second time this year!!! At least this time I caught it early - my co-workers were thankful for that!!! A shot in the butt and 24 hours of isolation and I will be as good as new. The hardest thing about it is going that long without hugs and kisses from my guys!!!
