Gosh ,I took so long to write last weekends activities, I am not sure I am going to be able to remember them all. So, let's see... Friday was a full day. Tom had surgery for his hernia so we made that our first stop. he was supposed to go in at 10 but he went in pretty much when we got here at 10:22. We arrived after they did so we could not find carmen when we first arrived. We just headed down to the cafeteria for some grub. Mommy and baby were starting to get a little hungry by the time we were done looking for Carmnen a bit. They surgery was only supposed to be an hour.. but 3 hours later they were still sitting there.. board.
Finally they called Carmen back, "I told her don't forget about us", "I won't she replied" So, we sat there for about 30 more min and she never came out. I was hoping we would have some kind of update sitting there for 3 hours. We were somewhat frustrated since we had Andrew waiting with us to and naturally he was getting board. So, we just decided to leave and just meet him at home. As we were driving out of the hospital. Guess who we see? Carmen in her car driving around. Apparently she was moving the car to take him home. Later she told us that she did not come out because she was waiting for the Dr. to come talk to her he was busy and they were not sure where he was at. I was thinking to myself... that is all you had to come out and tell us so we know what was going on.. Anyways, he is healing good, however, I do not think he is too happy about not being able to go to Mexico now. I would too after buying my ticket and making all the arrangements.
Gosh, it is so sad that I cannot remember what we did after leaving the hospital, but I think we stipped off somewhere.
Leter that evening we took Andrew to my parents, he was stauying the night with them becasue he was going to Lake Tahoe the next day to visit my uncle. Andrew loves his "manama and Papa" They do so much with him and really have a lot of that one on one time. When Andrew is there, it is all about him. I think my parents would have just rather of gone straight to Grandkids =). After dropping Andrew off Steven and I went browsing for some pictures for the new house. We have this beautiful french painting that was meant for over a fireplace mantle. We bought it for our first place we had, which is exactly where it was. Then when we moved to the next place there was already a mirror on the wall above the fireplace so we just put it on a different wall - no biggie. Now that we are buying a house that we will hopefully be in forever.. the picture is too big for the wall above the mantle. Well, actually - correction. The wall is a bit different, it has a small cutout within the wall so you can only put a picture the size of the cut out. So, yet again, our beloved painting will be placed on another wall. Luckily, we know exactly where that is. We stopped at Aaron Brothers and found plenty we liked but just not for the size we needed it. So, as we were leaving I spotted a Thomas Kinkade gallery a few down. Apparently I never knew it was there. We found many we liked but just a little out of the price range.
Saturday, we went to Cost Plus and Pier 1 to see if we can find a dining table. We found a few we really liked actually but the thing I hate about buying from places like that is the table and chairs and sold separately. We actually found a couple media centers we liked as well. Before that we acually stopped off at the Aaron Brothers on Arden. They had more of a selection of paintings there I think it was a bigger store, we found the right size and we actually found 2! We did not need 2 but steven found another one he really liked and we both decided on a perfect place to put it. So, 2 paintings 2 frames for half the price of the Thomas Kinkade! Score! After our shopping we headed home.. we needed to take some stuff to storage and since we were having JR's BBQ for dinner we did a round robin. Went to storage and then to get dinner. It was so yummy!! We just relaxed the rest of the night. Andrew was going to stay the night at my parents again but they ended up dropping him off about 11ish that night.
Sunday, Andrew had a B-day party to go to. My girlfriend's daughter ( his little buddy, Sage ) turned 4. It was at a spray park in West Sac. It was actually really nice. But he was the only boy and was acting up toward the end, so we left a bit early. Daddy was working so he was not there to whip him into shape. We headed home and he snooped through his goodie bag treats before his nap.

Phew! I'm glad that Uncle Tom is recovering well. Perhaps some good Mexican Tequila will help him still feel like he's gone to Mexico? It's no fun sitting in a hospital in the "not know" situation. What are your parents going to do when baby arrives? Boy, there's going to be double the spoilin' I'm sure.
