Eating, Baseball and Some fun!

Baseball! Yay! Sam and I spent this last weekend introducing Liem to Sam's family and also going to the Red Sox game!!! It looked bleek to begin with but in the end it was snawesome! So lets start with Friday...

Friday we left to go to Boston around 9 ish, 10 ish I think. We stopped at Starbucks, got some food, and then took the ferry over to Vermont. It was looking a little dark and bleek, but we still forged on. About 4 hours later we got to Boston and right away hit traffic. Around then it was about 3. So then we spent till about 5 getting to the house. Once we got to Sam's aunt's house EVERYONE was showing up. Sam and I didn't know, but there was a get together planned around Liem. It was raining at this time and not to mention we walked into a rhetorical storm. I walked in with my son and within 30 seconds he was taken out of my hands and was being passed around from aunt, to grandma, to great-grandma...plus with the rain we thought the game was going to be cancelled. Too much for me to handle...so I wanted to leave right away. Its not like I don't trust others to hold my little man, it just I feel anxious to not hold him...So we left and decided to go to the movies, and mall, just in case the game was cancelled.

The whole way to the mall we listened to the radio waiting for news on the game. We got to the mall and went to Cheesecake Factory to eat...well it being Friday and a huge mall, it was an hour wait. So we decide to go to this bar across the way with tv's just to check and see if the game was cancelled. After looking at the tv we saw that the game had not been called off yet, and since we drove 6 hours, had someone watching the baby and I had paid so much money for the tickets we decided to RUSH to Fenway and try to go to the game, cancelled or not. We figured if it did get delayed we could just hang out in Fenway. Well we get there at 8:30... and the game was....DELAYED!!!:) Till 8:35!! So we didn't miss a second of it! PLUS no one was there so we sat in probably $2000 seats even though we had standing room because no one wanted to come to a rainy game. It was AMAZING! We sat on the first base side of home plate. We got to see Jeter, Damon, A.Rod, Varitek, etc! It was awesome! We were so happy! We even got to drink 2 beers, and 2 margaritas (beer for Sam, other for me) before they closed the alcohol stands...They stop serving 2 and half hours after the game was schedule to start, since the game started an hour and a half late,we only had an hour. Then the game got rained delayed for about an hour and at about 12, midnight we were watching the scoreboard and all the sudden we saw a sign that said KENMORE STATION LAST TRAIN LEAVES AT 12:10...we came in at Kenmore and we were still sitting there. Needless to say we RAN to the station.

So after all that fun, we took Liem to meet his other great grandma in the morning. After that, a lunch at Cheesecake Factory, which was delicious! And then a quick trip home! Only 4 hours it took to get home. We rent Dexter, the tv show and watched that...All and all a great weekend! Liem slept the whole time in the car...so for him, Awesome.

Napping

I can't believe I go like 2 weeks without writing one of these. I just get so caught up in my life, that I never have time to put Liem down and write in these. Ok so lets see, whats new? Liem is still a handful and awesome. I love him so much. The only thing I don't like about him at this point is that he keeps getting bigger and bigger! He doesn't fit in anything! I mean there are some outfits he hasn't even worn yet he can't anymore! I feel bad! I hope we have a boy the second time, or else our outfits will go without being worn. I am sure one of my sisters will have a boy...or not. Right now Liem is sleeping in an outfit that he has never worn, and he looks adorable...moving on...

So I told you guys about watching Austin. Well a lot has gone on with him lately. His dad has left for a business trip for 2 and a half weeks and him and his girlfriend were spliting, so I was going to have to watch him for that long. Like litterally he would stay here for 2 and a half weeks on my couch. Which I didn't mind, but it was just a lot at once, because I just started watching him and it was like 3 days beforehand that he asked me to do it. I said ok, of course because I really don't mind. Well last night when I was waiting for him to drop him off, he shows up with Jess, his girlfriend. So now I don't have to watch him...I mean besides the usual after school stuff. He is quite a cool kid though. He is easy to keep busy and he likes doing things that I offer. So all and all a good job, considering all I do is sit at home with him and Liem and do the same thing I would as before.

Well I want to write more, but I want to nap while Liem is so I can get some sleep in...

Babysitting and Baby

So yesterday I met Austin, the 10 year old I will be babysitting after school for the first time. He was awesome. I swear that kid could power a city with all of his energy! I love it! I was hoping he wasn't shy or boring, and I was happy with what I got. When I first went to pick him up he shot off the bus and ran right to me! Not even worried at all, and in the car on the way home he just chatted me up! I was so happy that he wasn't scared of me or anything. So his first day here he just came right in and made himself comfortable. All he did was play video games, but he was only here for an hour and a half or so. Either way! Today I plan on seeing if he wants to do something else, like play a board game, something like that. Murphy was a little afraid of him, but other than that, it was good!

Right now Liem is passed out and let me tell you, I love that baby. He is so unbelievably cute and I can't get enough of him. He is getting so big though! I took a picture of him sleeping because he was too cute. I am feeling like all these moments are just flying by. I don't want him to get too big too soon! I want him to stay small forever, then again I want to hear him talk and rely on on something other than just me for his food source. It a lot of emotions. I feel like my pregnancy dragged on forever but then once he was born, boom! He just keeps growing and changing and it won't stop. For now I am just soaking in every little thing he does.

I also made a cake today, well I finished it. I am happy with how it turned out. Its for my neighbor, he needed something for his cookout or something of the sort for work, so I made him one. I am hoping that people might ask about it and then maybe I can make cakes for them, so on and so forth. I ordered business cards also. They should be cute...this is what they look like
I think they are super cute. Please tell me if you think they look weird. I wanted to come up with like a little catchy name, but I couldn't so I just went with that. I want to try to run this little dessert business out of my home, and that way I can stay with Liem all the time.

So thats how it all rolls! I guess thats it for now. Hope everyone is enjoying the new schoolyear!
