A Family Tuesday

Shane had watch last night from 1:45am until 8 this morning, so once he was off of work he was able to come home and spend the day with us.  Of course, he had a bunch of stuff to do before he could actually leave, so he left work around 9 and met us at home just in time to go to Trevor’s one year check up.  I know that Trevor’s birthday was almost a month ago, the doctors office was booked solid and this was the soonest they could get us in.  The appointment went great!  Trevor is doing everything that he should be for is age, and even more!  He weighs 23lbs and 4oz and is 31 inches tall.  50th percentile for both, so he is average for his age.  He had to get a few shots, but only cried for a few moments until we all fussed over him, and then once he realized he had everyone’s attention, he was done. 

After we left the doctor’s, we headed over to the mall to pick up some summer sandals for Trevor.  He has cute little white sneakers that still fit, but I think he looks kinda funny with shorts on with his socks coming up so high when he wears shoes.  In two months, Trevor has gone up a half size in shoes, and we were told that we need to make sure to come back in about 3 months to get him fitted again.  Once we had his sandals, we headed over to Lowes to pick out the new carpet for the house—finally!—That took a little longer than expected—who knew that carpet installation required a novel’s worth of paperwork?  Once we finished at Lowes, we grabbed some lunch and headed home so that Trevor could take a much-needed nap. 

While Trevor was sleeping, Shane and our friend Carl went over to the pool place to pick up our pool!  It is currently sitting in our garage in a bunch of boxes (how an 18’ round above ground pool, pump, filter, and all of the chemicals and accessories fits in there I have no idea)  Tomorrow morning I am going back to the city hall to get the building permit (???) for the pool so that we can hopefully get it installed next week.  Joy.

We have since been spending the evening playing here at home with some of the new toys that Trevor got for his birthday.  We didn’t give him everything right up front so that he wouldn’t get bored with everything at once and that has been working out great for us.
