The rain finally stopped.

Luke slept in until nearly nine this morning, which was wonderful. After breakfast we went out to enjoy the sunshine. First we decided to go downtown and see if there was much flooding. There was. We next went to the nature park and enjoyed a nice hike. We ate lunch and then Luke had quiet time. Afterwards we drove to Henry Horton but it was closed due to flooding. We instead went to the elementary school in Chapel Hill which had a nice playground. Luke especially like the gravel that was under the equipment and spent some time looking for shells. We left there and visited Ace Hardware and the “General Store” nearby. We finished up with a trip to Sonic for a little snack. I am regretting that. Dinner went well and so did bath. He got a bit rowdy at bed time but eventually went to sleep. Liz has gone to Target now.

What the hail?

We woke up to more rain. The field across the street was a lake and so we spent the morning inside. Liz and Luke made muffins for breakfast and they were delicious. After lunch he didn’t nap but did have some quiet time. Late this afternoon there was a break in the rain so we went to a park in Spring Hill where he rode his tricycle. After that we got pizza to take home. Luke enjoyed getting a little pizza and entertained us at dinner. While he was getting ready for bath some hail came down. I raced out to put blankets on Liz’s car to protect it. We are supposed to get another two to three inches of rain tonight.

Storms give way to lovely weather.

Liz and Luke made breakfast cookies this morning, which was a nice treat. Luke had his last remote therapy and while he did that with Liz I went to Kroger and the Methodist preschool. At the latter I dropped off his application. I returned home and once Luke was finished we went to the playground in Spring Hill. It was pretty crowded but he still had fun. I talked with a couple of other parents which helped pass the time. Lunch was good and he again failed to nap. He did a good job of playing by himself for much of the afternoon though. After Liz got off work she played with him and I tried to get the mower running properly, to no avail. I’ll go talk to the dealer tomorrow. Dinner and bed time went well.

Getting out and avoiding flash floods.

This morning I took Luke to High Hopes and Publix. We returned home and my parents came to see us for a little while. He really enjoyed that. After lunch he again didn’t nap, but we did have some quiet time. I decided I needed a break so we got in the car and went for a drive. After a little while he fell asleep, though not for very long. We returned home and played until Liz got off work. It was a wet and nasty day and they are saying maybe tornados tonight.

Yet another busy day.

After breakfast Madeline came and after she played with Luke for a little bit we went to the Spring Hill playground. There were several other kids there and the weather was lovely. Luke did really well playing and interacting. We stayed until lunch time and then returned home. He again didn’t take a nap. We played this afternoon and once Liz got off work we went over to our neighbor’s house. We had met their nanny and two kids at the playground, and so wanted to meet them. Only the dad was available, but he was a really nice guy and it was great to meet him. We came home for dinner and then bed time. Liz has gone to Target now.
