I promised to write more in May, and well it'll be June in two days. Oops. I am sure once summer rolls around, I will have more brain power to come up with clever posts or adventures to write about. Of late, it's just been school, more school, snuggling with LJ, and building a deck. So for the time being, I'll just post a picture of the lil' buddy. Oh how I love him more and more each day.

Oh How I Love Him So!

What are the odds of that happening?
I've always had a love-hate relationship with flying. I am not really afraid of dying in a plane crash. I am more concerned with surviving a plane crash. I know, I know the odds of a plane crashing that I am on is like 1 in 11 million, but I don't like odds.
1% of women have an ER c-section. I did.
1% of the population have Celiac. I do.
3% of the population has Ledin Factor Five. I do.
3% of the population has Ledin Factor Five. I do.
1% of the population has a chance of getting hit by a tornado. I have been in THREE (different) houses that were damaged by tornadoes.
Many people carry the Cystic Fibroris gene, but I carry the really rare one (which in LJ's case is a very good thing).
So despite my fear of odds, I will fly again. I will continue to live in a state with serve weather. And I will probably want another baby at some point.
But wait, isn't there some statistic about being one in a million to win the lottery? Maybe then I would like my odds.

April's Highlights
I know, I know...it's been awhile.
It's not that we haven't had milestones and events to write about, but I've been a little busy adjusting to life as a working mom--to life as a working mom who is a teacher. Thankfully we have come along way since that first awful, awful (can I say awful again) week of conferences and parents. So I'll do a quick update below and then promise to get back to writing on a regular basis.
*We celebrated LJ's 3 month birthday with a trip to the Mall of America's Sea Life with his cousins. We will not be going back anytime soon. Not because we didn't enjoy it, but because of the tire explosion that had me convinced we were going to die a slow, painful death in water surrounded by sharks.
*JLO got out on the river for some spring fishing...and hasn't gone out since. We will blame the weather, not our lifestyle, for that.
*We successfully took LJ on his first road trip to WI to visit JLO's family. The way there was a little rough with a seven hour car ride because of construction, but once we arrived we enjoyed spending time with all of our nieces/nephew and catching up with JLO's extended family. They were kind enough to throw a "Meet Lance" party and showered us with wonderful gifts for LJ to enjoy.
*LJ loves, loves, loves going to Grandma's house every day while mommy and daddy are at work. LJ often tells me how good Grandma is at her job of caring for him. We are so lucky!
*The last milestone I will write is one that every new parent dreams for: more sleep. Once we took away the morning bottle, LJ has started to sleep straight through the night. It is so refreshing to get a full night of sleep, but it is also an odd feeling knowing that that chapter in our lives is already over.
Oh and one more thing: there are only 25 more days of school left. But who is counting?
