Last few days and vacation

The last few days have been fairly uneventful. Izzy graduated from her swimming lessons and went down the small water slide at the pool all by herself. She was the only one in her class to go down twice and she enjoyed it both times. All the other toddlers cried and wouldn't go down twice, once was enough for them. Izzy enjoyed it! I'm leaving this morning for a weeks vacation at my parents house, so I won't be posting for awhile. When I get back school with be starting again. Everyone have a nice week.

Just some daily stuff

This morning's swimming lessons went well for Izzy. She's really trying hard to swim on her own, and it's too bad this is the last week for lessons. Next year I'm sure she'll be ready to swim on her own. She kicks and uses her arms, but it just hasn't come together enough yet to keep her afloat. It really wonderful to be in the water with her and see her working so hard. After lunch we came home, had lunch and took an hour nap. Then off Photodriving. Tonight we went for a walk and visited Penny and Krista. I'd like to go back out and take some pictures around Cherry Valley and Beaumont.

It hasn't been open for years. Too bad, I remember as a boy my father loved Horseradish. Now I do.

Izzy and I went for a drive around Banning today to see if I could snap a few interesting pictures. I stopped by the San Gorgonio Inn and found that's just an rundown old closed restaurant. From what I've read and been told. It was quite the place to stop and eat in the 50's and 60's. Now it looks just beat to hell. I really couldn't get out of the truck and walk around taking pictures, Izzy was with me. So I guess we have to call it Photodriving not Photowalking. Check out my Flickr account link for more pictures.

Monday

Izzy and I went to swimming lessons today. She did so well. She goes underwater and jumps in all by herself. She loves the water. We need to work on her swimming though. After the lesson we went to Stater Brothers for some groceries and a cookie. Then lunch and a two hour nap. I bbq'd some Carne Asada for dinner with rice, refried beans, flour tortillas and a salad. I feel exhausted so I'll be going to sleep early tonight.

Hurry up and let's go Mommy. I need some more shoes and a new purse. This girl already loves to shop. Her favorite store is the "Pumpkin Patch" at the Tyler Galleria. So if you feel the need to buy her something the link is right below.

Sunday

It's the start of a new week. Izzy and I have swimming lessons everyday at 10:00 AM at the Banning pool and I am really excited about that. Hopefully Lonnie will be transferred out of ICU soon and into a normal room. I'm sure she'd like to see Izzy. I don't have anything planned except, Kiwanis on Wednesday night and AA on Thursday night. Hopefully I can get over to Dean's work and set-up the OS X Server on a fixed IP address, so I can start using it. I'm still not sure what I'll doing with it. I caught myself thinking about "Chili" tonight. It made me feel so bad. It's been over a year since I had to put him down and it still makes me want to cry when I think about him. It's like an empty hole in my heart. He was my little Min Pin. Even when things got rough in my life I always had him to love and he loved me. I still have Candy and Coco, but he's Debbie's dog. Coco is a good dog, but it's not the same. I'll get over this feeling, and I have Izzy. She's sleeping in the "Mama Daddy bed" right now, because of some nightmares, so I'll cuddle with her tonight.

Just do it
