This week, Jeremy picked up his car and proudly pulled it into our garage. I've officially be demoted to parking in the driveway so a big hunk of metal can be parked diagonally in the garage. Supposedly his precious car cannot be left in the rain... sounds pretty tough, huh?!? Hahah, just kidding, Jeremy! We are both hoping to keep the car as 'healthy' as possible in preparation for Sunday evening. I think his curse is over, and his first night (and only night) of running this car is going to go great.
The six other guys who built cars in the Jabs garage all have a variation of the black/pink combination with white lettering. We lettered the car tonight with the help of Lori and Gary. Cooper also got in on the action. His cute little footprints are on the roof. Jeremy's planning to cut that part of the roof off after the derby and mount it on our garage wall.
In other news, we had a great time camping in Cannon Falls last week. Cooper loved the pool and loved watching all the kids zoom by our campsite on their bikes. The only downfall of the trip is we sort of 'wrecked' Cooper's sleeping routine. He has been getting up at night again and pitching a real fit until we get up and do something about it. Tonight is time for a little tough love... and it's going to be harder for me than the little guy. Here's a pic of Cooper and Dad hanging out at the campsite.
Last week, and once this week already, we've had the pleasure of visiting little baby Abigail Jean Endres. Congrats to our friends Tom and Amy on beautiful baby girl #2. Abby is a little peanut, and I can't wait to watch her and her sister, Olivia, grow up with Cooper. They live just a block away, and I have a feeling there might be a bike trail worn between our houses as the kids get a little older. I wouldn't mind ;)
School is getting close--Jeremy and I both received our back-to-school letters from our districts. Hard to imagine that in just a few weeks we are back with another new bunch of kiddos. I am weirdly starting to get the 'itch,' though. I have some new ideas I'm excited to try. I know it's going to be harder than ever to go back this fall, though, after having such a fun summer with my little man. He seems to love daycare (we must be boring), so when I can't be with him, I am thankful he has a loving and safe place to hang out for the day.
Last but not least, do you think it's possible for a baby's kick to break a nose? After my run-in last spring with a flying softball, my fractured nose was feeling fine... that is, until Cooper and I were playing last night. I was smooching his little toes and WHAM, he kicked me right in the side of the nose. Now my nose is actually swollen and just might be more crooked than after that fracture. It doesn't hurt like the softball did, but it throbs a bit every now and then. I knew he was a strong little guy, but really? We'll give it a couple days and maybe the swelling will settle down a little bit...
Enjoy your beautiful week!
