It's Friday night already? How did that happen? Well...I spent the majority of yesterday in the hospital with kidney stones...again. Ugh - no fun at all. I got 4 rounds of pain meds (the last round made me giddy for sure!), blood work done and a CT scan. The doctor confirmed that there is indeed a stone trying to make it's way out - thus the terrible pain. I went home and slept pretty much until 2:00 this afternoon. I called into work because there is no way that I have enough energy to be able to work. So...somehow I missed pretty much a whole day! :)
Hopefully this stone will pass and tomorrow will be a semi-normal day!
Have a great weekend!

Birthday Fun
An odd Saturday night post from me! I'm usually at work on Saturday nights, but took off today to go to my niece's third birthday party. Beatrice had a princess party -very cute! The kids dressed up (Abigail was Cinderella, I made Henry a Prince Charming shirt), made cute crowns, heard a story read by Cinderella, had a pinata and had ice cream cake. Fun times!

Here We Go Again...
Colin got a call today...
He's getting a new placement for teaching this fall...his sixth in six years...ugh.
He'll be back at the high school teaching social studies again. We don't know specifically which part of social studies or which grade, just that it will indeed be social studies in the high school. This is what he has taught so far:
1st year - elementary art (various grades)
2nd year - first grade art
3rd year - high school civics
4th year - high school geography
5th year - middle school art
6th year - high school social studies of some sort
It's hard to stay positive, but somehow Colin does. We are truly thankful that he has a job - that's the most important thing. He had a great year this year teaching art and really enjoyed working with Paul, the other art teacher. It's going to be tough switching once again.

Mulder Family (and specifically Hanks) Update
Hi everyone! Wow - we sure are keeping busy around here! Colin and I just said tonight that we haven't really even made our "What we want to do this Summer" list and it's almost the end of June already! Ugh! This week Colin has been/is working Monday-Thursday and Saturday lunches at the Grille and I'm working just Thursday and Friday evenings. Monday I watched my niece, Bebe, in the morning for a bit while my sister-in-law ran last minute errands for Bebe's birthday party. Yesterday I took the kids out to Costco and Rivertown for a couple of things. I love going to the mall, but it's always a much bigger, longer, more stressful trip than I anticipate! :) At night we went to my parents' pool and went swimming with our friends, Marci, Jeremy and Carson. My mom and I also walked five miles that night. Today we went to the Farmer's Market (like every Wednesday) and saw about 30 of our friends there. After bagels downtown, Henry got new Crocs here and then we got M & Ms (for Abigail) and a sucker (for Henry) at the Peanut Store. Tonight we had dinner as a family (burgers on the grill, fresh cherries and strawberries...yum!) and then I did some errands. Tomorrow I'll watch Carson for Marci (she's going to the doctor...39 weeks pregnant!) and then I work at night. Friday is work and then Saturday we have Bebe's third birthday party...fun, fun! Busy, busy also!
Henry went to speech again on Monday. He was retested and has definitely improved! He is now testing at around 15 months for his verbal skills...up from 7-10 months just a few weeks ago. We are definitely seeing improvements, but know there's still a road ahead to travel to help him improve. He's signing like crazy too, which is so fun to see...and totally helps with his frustrating levels! Hard to believe that little guy is almost 2!
On a scrapbooking front...I was asked to be a guest on the CT team for Dani Mogstad. I am super excited about that! It won't take place until this winter, but I can't wait! I haven't been scrapping a lot lately...not a lot of motivation, so we'll see if I have a new layout to post soon. I also haven't taken any pictures lately! Hopefully the next post will include some!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
