Two Beats Off

Uncle Damon and Auntie Kerry came for a visit on Friday..but Mika was asleep by the time that they arrived. It was a nice break after a mildly stressful week...just kicking back and hanging out. Saturday, we finally got over to visit the Shermans. Like a fool, I took zero photos! gah! Dummy. Auntie Fran was there and brought little Zoey with her! Zoey is so frickin' smart..its just scary. And a to-die-for beautiful little girl to boot. She's even done some modelling! Zoey will be 4 on October 12...hopefully she will be back in daycare by the new year so that Mika has an older girl to watch out for her! Zoey was more into playing with the bigger girls than Mika, but Mika was taken with Zoe anyway. Hopefully Zoey will be back over for Thanksgiving this year. The Shermans are all doing well and Mika didn't have any major freakouts over there, which was nice. Auntie Serena brought us a wicked shell windchime/mobile that Mika is obsessed with. Something new to distract her while I shower..as its now hanging in the bathroom. Auntie Serena also brought us some funky bath stuff from the island..bombs and teabags!..and a shirt for Daddy, of course. Uncle S was feeling poorly as there is some kind of complication in his body after having his appendix out last weekend, but Auntie Shawndee was her usual bouncy self! Grandma and Grandpa Sherman are well too. Soon-to-be Uncle Cory is still trying to make his way back to Alberta from Newfoundland. The engine in his car blew when he was only about 4 hours from home...but tis all fixed now and he should be starting his journey again today. Grandma Sherman gave Mika a cute little 1st Xmas ornament..one thats actually kewl instead of lame! I guess that means we should consider putting up a tree this year...2 cats + 10 month old baby + xmas tree = more mayhem than I want to deal with!
We've been grumpy and stressed for no good reason in this house lately..just kind of a Meh month or something, despite birthdays and visits and everything. I think we may get to see Saoirse again tomorrow, so that will be kewl..a pick-me-up! Also Auntie Amber is supposed to be in town, so we'll probably meet up with her when she is done at the salon tomorrow. Another pick-me-up! The ladies should have us revitalized in no time.
