Memorial Day Adventures...

Happy Memorial Day!!! We had quite an eventful day today. John was involved with a ceremony at Madingley American Cemetery in Cambridge today and my friend Lynda and I decided to go. So we packed up the girls (she has a 2 year old named Evey) and headed out there. First of all, our Navigon kept having us pass all the exits for Cambridge so finally I just got off on one of them and it thankfully redirected us to the cemetery. Then about 10 minutes before we got there, poor Evey threw up her milk all over the car. We finally got into the car park and tried to find a parking spot. It was all grass and I tried to park the car up a bit of a hill and all the sudden started sliding backwards...not a good thing when there's cars behind you!!! Once we found a good spot, the clean up began. Evey had to wear one of Haylee's outfits that was just barely long enough for her and I had to change Haylee's very poopy diaper complete with a diaper rash. It took us a good 30 minutes to get the girls ready and in their strollers. I'm so thankful I had Lynda there going through it with me! It is always so much better to deal with little emergencies when you aren't alone.

We got our workouts pushing the strollers up the hill and over to the ceremony which was almost halfway through by this point. Thankfully we found John and got to see the jets fly by which the girls loved to see. Afterwards John met us at the car and we headed into town to the mall. Poor Lynda had to sit in the back between the car seats. Good thing she's thin!! The city was packed since it was a holiday so it took us forever to get into the parking garage and find a spot. We didn't spend too much time there because John felt uncomfortable with the looks he was getting since he was in his Blues. There are parts of England that aren't very good to wear a military uniform in and I think Cambridge is one of them. So we finished there and headed to Pizza Hut. We had a great meal and Haylee decided to stick a blue crayon in her ear and now she has a blue ear...But the girls were great, thank goodness!!! The trip home was pretty uneventful other than trying to find our way and the girls were both passed out by the time we got home.

All in all it was a great day and I'm really glad I had Lynda and Evey there to enjoy it with. Haylee and Evey absolutely love each other and are really good together when they're not pushing or stealing toys from each other. Littlekids are so funny to watch! I'm glad that Haylee is having to learn to share now, especially since she will have a sibling to share with in a few months!

Speaking of, I got a letter from my hospital today saying that I have an ultrasound scheduled for June 4th!!! We finally get to find out what we're having! We are pretty convinced it's a boy but we shall see! He's been moving a whole lot lately and I'm starting to feel him push on the outside a little too. I can't wait for John and Haylee to feel him! I will let you know when we find out what this little munchkin is!
