Oh my Mason is growing up way too fast! These are a few of his 1 year photo's - a little late I know. He had them taken at a year - but i just ordered them. 

At 11 p.m. last night - Mason started crying - so Steve went in to rock him back to sleep - but sadly found him lying in his puke!!! This is the first time Mason has gotten the throw up bug! He's had the diarrhea, through the diaper, down the leg, all over the house bug - but not this one. The poor guy had lasagna from dinner it on his bedding, in the pacifier, on his P.J.s and in his hair - so we had to strip the bed - and put him in the bath for the second time that night. He also had a low grade fever - but this morning he is still a little fussy - but keeping food down  - and no fever! What a quick bug - thank heavens!

Angela is coming into town today - to introduce us to her new boyfriend! Can hardly wait - I have heard many good things about him! We were going to do a family dinner - but with Mason sick last night I do not want him around Caleb:( So they will be having dinner with us - then over to Garrett's for dessert!

Thanks Anne for the recommendation - we ended up going out to Uncle Yu's and it was soooo good as always! Date night - it is kind of a weird concept for life with kids! You don't get the chance to go out as often as before - and you forget how nice it is going out just the two of you. Thanks to my Aunt Keelie - who drops the email from time to time - "can I watch Mason and you and Steve go out"! Without her - we would forget to take time for ourselves. We are truly lucky to have great family near by!

On another note - SURPRISE - my dad is retiring! He is finally fed up with the postal service - has 2 grand children that he can't get enough of - so there you have it - he will be done as of the end of this month! Congrats to my dad - you are such a hard worker (that I admire and respect) - and have put in many dedicated years to the post office - hats off to you - and I look forward to watching you enjoy your new life! Boating, golfing, grandpa (Macor) sitting... cooking, cleaning and best of all enjoying life!

Date night

Today when I woke up - I checked my email and this is what I read:

Hi Adrienne, >  > Take Steve out for dinner tomorrow night (Friday), we'll watch Mason. >  >  > Let me know....................   A.K.

Dinner for just the two of us! Amazing! I just want to thank my Aunt Keelie for thinking of us - and offering to watch Mason tomorrow night. Once in a while we do ask for help in the babysitting department - but when she asks out of the blue - it's wonderful! Now what should we do - dinner? movie? I guess I will let you know tomorrow night what the verdict is! Any suggestions on a good restaurant? Any good movies out?

She's Having Twins!

My cousin Meghan is having twins! She is a twin herself and is now 5 months pregnant with - we found out today GIRLS... So now they are no longer known as twin A and twin B, but as Norah and Claire... How exciting - I am soooo happy for them - Congrats to Meghan and Sam!

Facebook

So I am now venturing onto Facebook? Anybody else? Not really sure what it's all about? I already have 10 friends on it though in less than 24 hours... Not much new here in the Peters household. Worked over the weekend, Monday we had a 40th anniversary party for Steve's parents, and now it's the week filled with laundry, cleaning, dinners, dishes, bath time, nap time, and staying out of the heat! Caleb is home as of Friday - and is doing great! I think they must be getting used to the idea of "family" b/c I rarely hear from them...
