The Fralick Family

Not a lot going on around here lately.  The weather is finally getting nicer, and I'm itching to get outside.  We've spent the better part of this weekend outside.  Secretly, I wish Grace's little friends would go home so we could go outside now.  (one of them is sick, and can't play outside)  Does that make me an awful person?  I didn't think so! 

Bill has had to work all weekend, so he hasn't gotten to see Grace much at all, just the 1.5 hours from the time he gets home until he goes to bed.  It would be so much easier if her mother were a person of reasoning and would be easy to switch days, but with her, there's usually some sort of conflict.  Ugh.

I went to a baby shower for a cousin yesterday.  Things like this are always hard.  I do my best, I congratulate and smile, take pictures, and eat cake.  But, the nasty part of me that contains envy wants to have people congratulating me, taking pictures of me, and eating MY cake!  It is easier when it's someone who I am truly happy for.  It was a fun time.  Chace got to help open presents, and Grace felt big helping pick up the wrapping paper and sorting presents away.  I've decided that I am now going to view every shower as an opportunity to plan what I will/will not do at my own shower!  I WILL NOT have a fondant iced cake!  They may be pretty, but they taste nasty!!  I WILL open presents as guests arrive.  Opening presents all at once is awfully time consuming!  I WILL have a fun time and will be a glowing, pregnant woman.  If the time ever gets here!

Well, I think it's about time to send some little girls home so we can go ride 4-wheelers and/or get in the hot tub!  Have a wonderful Sunday!

PS:  Tell me this picture doesn't make you smile!
