My Journey Through Life
From the monthly archives:
We celebrated Ayden’s first birthday this past Saturday. He and his mom have been members of a mom’s group ever since he was born, and most of the babies from that group were at the party. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a room with that many babies all at one time for that length of time. I was amazed at how well all the little ones got along with each other. They were all so adorable.
Here are the pics that I took at the party.

Gosh it’s hard to believe he’s almost a year old. He has changed so much this past year and gets cuter every day.

Richard and I went down to my dad’s on February 6. Richard hadn’t seen the puppy dogs since we took them down in December, and I hadn’t seen my dad since my short visit after Christmas. Richard had a long weekend, and we planned on coming back Feb. 10. I decided to stay a few days longer, so Richard came on back home without me.
Daddy lives in the country, and there is no DSL or broadband available, so I was limited to a NetZero dial-up account. Just checking email and updating my checking account seemed to take forever to do compared to what I can accomplish in just a few seconds at home.
We went fishing just about every day. My aunt Ginger and Daddy both caught some really nice size bass, and that tickled them to no end. Except for one day when I caught a smaller bass and another good size fish, the only fish I caught were small bream. It didn’t matter though because I still enjoyed myself. I love just sitting by the pond and communing with nature.
I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with Daddy. He is getting so feeble though. He almost fell in the kitchen one day and almost fell while fishing. I worry about him falling and not being able to get to a phone to call for help. His golf cart was broken when we got there, and he is really lost without it. He just isn’t able to get around outside like he used to be. Luckily though the owner of the golf cart shop came out and fixed it on Wednesday.
Daddy can be cantankerous at times. Talk about a short fuse! It’s uncanny how much alike he and my son Travis can be at times with their temper. He still treats me like I’m a little girl, and he says I’ll always be his baby. I just wish he would give me a little credit. He acts like I don’t know how to do things and can be critical at times.
He did enjoy me cooking for him and doing some household stuff for him. He’s not used to having anyone to wait on him and try to take care of him.
I would have stayed longer with him if the timing had been better. Ayden turns one year old this week, and I am not about to miss his first birthday party.
Richard came back on Friday to get me. We decided to bring Cody back home with us. Richard said he had really missed him. Cody’s got an eye infection that I’m treating with antibiotic ointment, and it does seem to be getting better. So now we have both Chelsea and Cody with us. It was so cute last night to see both Cody and Chelsea in Richard’s lap while he was watching tv.

While I was at my dad’s last week, we went through some old pictures that he had stashed in an old cigar box. I came across the picture of me that was taken my junior year of high school.
