Our neighbors, Gary and DeAnna, have a trampoline for their kids. LJ loves jumping on the trampoline...and it feels safer to me than having him jump on the bed:) (There are nets!) I'm trying to test out Tim's iMovie application on his Mac, so bear with us as you watch the video...it's pretty rough, but I had fun! Hope everyone is doing well. Tim and I had a blast in San Francisco and Napa/Sonoma. We went up for a week in late April and toured wineries and the city. We can't wait to go back!!

Remember that time we went on vacation and I left...
Don't you love those stories that start with "Remember that time?"
Tim and I arrived back in Georgia late last night. We stopped for a quick bite to eat and then went to pick up LJ. Just as we were pulling up to the house, LJ awoke from a night terror. By the time we got back to our house he was still awake enough to call out, "Daddy!" to Tim (no "Mommy" of course:) and then finally fall back asleep as we put him to bed. I'd been stressing about going back to work and so Tim told me to get ready for bed and then have some chill time while he started some laundry.
My goal was to arise early (5AM) to get a head start on the day. I rolled out of bed around 5:30 - I wasn't too stressed because I could still make it to work by 7:30. Ha! At about 6:15 I'm grabbing my stuff and heading out to the car. Opening the car door let out a waft of nasty smells to which I attributed leaving LJ's diaper bag with a full sippy cup of milk in the car, festering for 7 days...
I should stop hear and tell you that when we left last Sunday, I totally got sidetracked and left LJ's daycare diaper bag in the car. This lead me to call my neighbor, DeAnna (who was watching our dogs) and ask her to double check and make sure that my car was locked. It wasn't so thankfully she locked it for me....so Sunday was a harried day of rushing around and I guess I got a little sidetracked - back to the nasty smell.
I grab the diaper bag with the full sippy cup of milk and run it into the house. Back to the car and the smell is still there. I toss my bags on the front passenger seat (figuring I'll drive with the windows down and let the car air out) and my hand grazes the seat. Um wait a sec, it's really cold. At a closer glance, it wasn't just cold, it was sopping wet. After tossing my bags out of the front seat, my initial reaction is to double check the windows...I unlocked the car with a key, so the door definately wasn't left open. A second look at the window and, nope, it's sealed shut. My eyes wander to the sun roof. Yup, the darn sunroof was partially open.
My sunroof was open during the torrential downpours that hit my house while we were out of town for an ENTIRE WEEK!!! Tornados passed over our area and the rain dumped into my car. There is a drought in Georgia and my guess is that my car could be wrung out and solve our county's water issues - ok, I'm exaggerating - but seriously, it was not a great way to start off the day.
So now Tim and I will be the proud owner of a super clean car as it is currently sitting in a warehouse after being taken apart and scrubbed down by a fabulous detailing company.
Note to self, always check the sunroof before leaving on vacation...Kind of reminds me of a Kalvin/Maguire rule - always check your pockets first when looking for keys:) I guess we all live and learn, right???
