More Beauty

....from the aquarium

The "A" Quarium

We got our memebership to the aquarium today and made our first visit. Jakob kept wanting to go onto the next thing and was tired/crying after seeing the first part of the aquarium.

Jakob at the petting tank...he touched a star fish!

My Birthday Gift

Today I turn 30. No big deal. Big birthday celebrations are a thing of the past. Another day for me.

I walk outside this morning and am presented with this gift.

Remembering

A good friend of mine took these last summer:

What a day

Got Jakob off to school (see his page) today.

Wish I could say my day was as good...I spent the morning at an unexpected visit to the doctor after feeling quite ill, dizzy, and having the sweats. My pulse was elevated, but everything checked out ok (blood pressure, baby's heart beat); Dr. Cooper seemed to think maybe I was a little dehydrated due to the little bug that went around our house this weekend (Jakob and I were sick...thought it was food we ate). I have to drink 4 liters of water today and had to had blood drawn as a precautionary. Still feel kind of icky.

A drive for a cool/rainy day

After a breakfast outing, travels brought us through Pomfret, Woodstock, Union, Eastford, Ashford, and Mansfield. Because of the on/off rain due to what is left of Hurricane Ernesto, we decided not to go to the fair today (think we may try tomorrow). Jakob and I both had a bout of something that made us run to the bathroom! Yikes!

We stopped by to pay our respects to Gramp; I also took the opportunity to take pictures (I love cemeteries).
