All Through the Night...

...as I would wake up just enough to listen to the monitor and make sure that pumps were running properly I was greeted with one of the sweetest sounds known to this mommy's ear - snoring, little quiet, barely audible snores, bringing to mind the image of a sweet faced little boy stretched out on his bed sleeping easily. This is the first night this week that John has slept through the night, I did hear him cough a few times but it seems like the nasty cold bugs are finally being vanquished.

Papa, Mark's dad, is on his way in for a couple days, then I will be taking him to meet up with Mark's brother somewhere in Kansas, and returning home only to head out to Omaha Sunday afternoon. John is going to have a nasal scope done early Monday morning to see if there is something up there that is contributing to his frequent colds and such. We'll get to visit with our friends the Bakers and hopefully take in the sights at the Omaha Zoo and then be back home just in time to go to Oklahoma to visit with Mark's brother and his family and gather Papa and his stuff back up and bring him here to visit for a couple weeks.

We have the privilege of having Papa's company for Father's Day, so to celebrate this Father's Day in style I have visions of beef tenderloin and maybe some Milwaukee Million Dollar Pie or some such thing dancing through my head, along with some good beer, John and I will have a great time celebrating with 2 of our favorite dads. Maybe I'll get some news and pictures posted before Papa goes home later in June, maybe I won't but you can bet that afterwards there will be pictures to show off and stories to tell!

Wow - that's only about an hour and 1/2 away!

With the traffic through KC today it could be 3, holy cow, I think I was stuck in construction traffic for over 1 1/2 hours today - would have gladly traded that 1 1/2 hours for a visit :)

We'll have to figure out how to meet sometime if you are coming this direction again!
