Boston

The CountryMouse managed the big city!!! And by that I mean HUSBAND managed it! :) Thank GOODNESS! 

He was matched up with a kidney stone specialist about a month ago... the first available (that worked with the chaotic track schedule) was on Monday, June 15 at 8AM... in Jamaica Plains! Yikes! WE KNEW we would have to go down on Sunday night in order to navigate all of the traffic etc.... we just MISSED the part that oh... a little thing called THE WORLD CUP was happening as WELL as the Red Sox having home games! Ack!

Husband NAILED it in this traffic... in the TRUCK... (not that my car is that much smaller hee hee)

I sent pics to the girls to see if they were jealous of the city and all the cars...I assure you... they were NOT. Home with Sky for a sleepover and getting their nails done!?!? Yeah, they were content to be home :)

16 min to drive 2 miles... goodness....

I appreciate the trees but not my "normal" view from my 2nd story window... and this was the 5th floor...

we woke up ready to tackle the day... made it to the hospital, Husband had a great conversation with the Dr, a CT scan and an order for an MRI to see if we can some answers and solutions! We are hoping to do a lot of the consultations via telehealth because....

we both MUCH prefer staying HOME vs. the "big city" :)

 

Track Meets!

On Monday Minnie was at home for the last time this season...

and she did AWESOME!

FINALLY past 28'... and SOOOOO CLOSE to coming in 4th!

We know she has more in her.... results of the MRI showed she's a-ok (hooray!) so hoping with some strength training and stretching.... she'll get after it!

Following photos are from "Alan" :) if you know, you know.

FAN CLUB!

On Tuesday it was Miss B's turn... unfortunately with the SPEED (pun totally intended) in which her meets have been going, it was starting at 3:30 the time I get out of work and I was an hour away.... I wasn't able to see her. Looks like it was better that I WASN'T there! She did SOOOOOO WELL! SOOOOO PROUD OF HER! She was SOOO excited! Jav has been a struggle for her and she had a PR! Soooo happy!

The Weekend Report

A WILD and crazy Friday night in the big city for an MRI... clearly she's less than impressed... but we gotta get this shoulder figured out.... praying for results sooner rather than later...

Miss B and I planted all my dahlias on Saturday morning while Minnie and Husband went to practice...the rain moved in for the afternoon so we headed to NH to grab a few plants... 

Came home and these two started on the Mother's Day tradition... Husband's fav.  ;)

Twinbies...

Went with hot coral this year... picked out by Husband and Miss B... 

Gosh I love 'em....

Minnie had to ref in the afternoon but we ended the night with Husband's amazing grilling....

Mostly Wordless Wednesday

 

I felt this in my soul. I don't lose them anymore like I did as a teen but man... all came rushing back when I saw this post!

April Break: Part 1

Guess what season it is.... whoop whoop!!!! 

Guess who's STILL injured from last year... whomp whomp. Got an xray, and scheduled and MRI just to be sure... doing an ibuprofen regimen per ALL the medical professionals... and we shall see what this season holds... COULD be a "torn" pec muscle... obviously we don't want it to get worse... but for now... she's pushing through....

 

Cuz I mean.....

Saturday Husband and I headed to grab some things at the Home Depot and I assure you... our house did NOT look like this when we left but we were sure happy to see it 2 towns over!

Speaking of happy... he loves an only child trip... bah!

Saturday afternoon Minnie wanted to head to watch her buds in their last softball game of a playday and Husband and Miss B were headed to do something fun... so off we went!

Love textin' my girl's peeps! :)

She pitched a great game and they won!!!!

but it was SOOOO DANG COLD... Like no sunshine, 40's, raining when we left, COLD...

GOOD thing she's cute!

While we were grabbing take out pizza and heading home, Husband, CJ, Miss B and Small Paul were at a "Beast Feast"... a wild game night put on by another local church... Miss B was SO excited... she was looking forward to trying "bear"....

but ended up with BEAVER instead... (someone took the last bear meatball?) No.Thank.You.

but they HAD A BLAST!!!!

Not so fun was losing to the Celtics... she put this shirt on as a photo op for Guinny but she prob should have left it on to see if it was good luck!!?!

We also heard that our breeder (of Barks) got a new puppy.... she reached out and asked if Miss B was available to meet him... um... yes.please.

Meet "Rooster".... Barks Dad was lost this winter and Brya just needed another big giant fluff ball for her homestead....

We are IN.LOVE. 

Miss B's comment... "Day.Made." 

That afternoon the boys showed up to pick up CJ's maple candy he left on Saturday and after lots of giggles and shenanigans in the house, they headed out to do what they do best... try to fix a vehicle/electrical problem... this time it was Husband's truck....

Conversing about the minor dent... 

Meanwhile... we've lost the girls. Ha!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE when this crew is together... Minnie had to leave for a sleepover/bonfire but it was fun while it lasted!!!!

Love these babes!
