Trust me. I have tried multiple times to blog. I have been without internet at home and so have been limited to times when I am in town and have Wi-Fi access (not very much) and then I have to rememer to blog; then, once I forgot my camera so I can do pics, and the last time it told me blogger was unavailable and to come back later. Well. It is later.
We went camping memorial weekend, and it was great. The weather was very cooperative...well until Sunday, which was rainy - but we went out friday, saturday, and left sunday morning. It was not too hot, not too muggy, not cold at night, perfect for swimming! We got a nice camping site (after starting to think there were none close to the water) and there were practically no bugs, and no mosquitos! which is amazing in itself. J cooked breakfast and dinners in his dutch oven - delicious. We even conveniently ended up a very short distance from a restroom/outhouse. However. This camping trip did not go without incidents. It started with noticing some red swelling on E's....well private area (enough said), which we decided we would wait out and see what happens. Then, Saturday afternoon, E and I were hand in hand walking along the shore, trying to dodge all the obstacles. While trying to step over a small log, E fell and I caught him by pulling on his left arm. He started crying, which at first I took just as small complaining for falling, but with time found out between the two of us we had hurt his arm. Also we decided to wait it out. He wouldn't use his arm and cried when it got bumped or if he tried to lift it, so he just left it dangling at his side, crying whenever it moved slightly. He did this throught the afternoon and toward the night started using it some with less complaints, but was less than impressed when we tried to take his shirt off that night. Come Sunday it was worse and he was crying a lot, and the pain didn't seem to be fading and I was worried maybe we did more serious damage than I imagined. Making the long short - we went to the ER, his arm is fine, and the doc says (concerning the other part) that we need to re-do his circumcision. AFter a visit to our Pediatrician, she says the circ does not need redone, it will take care of itself. We are in the market for a second opinion. ... whew...thats that. Pics will be posted ASAP.

Glad camping was fun. Still haven't gone yet. I'm starting to wonder if our trip in August will be my first time! Weekends fill up so fast in the summer. Love you. Glad you got to blog. Finally. :)
