Yikes!

So, I have been out of the blog world for more than 2 weeks, yikes! I don't know what to say other than I am apparently having difficulty managing my time! Trying to sell our house is turning out to be something way more than I bargained for. At any rate, it's still on the market, we're still waiting for someone to freaking buy it already, and I'm still having a hard time keeping it in "showing" condition. I also did a short stint in the ER about two weeks ago. Apparently I was electrically shocked. It put my heart out of rhythm for a bit, but all the tests showed no permanent damage, phew. I had and continue to have chest pains, but that could be stress too I guess. Also, since I last posted Mr. Spencer got his bottom teeth! Boy was he very unhappy for the week he was cutting them:( He has become such a big boy that I cannot believe he is more than 8 months old! Time is flying.

Thank you everyone for the nice comments on my hair:) I think I'm going to cut Avery's today, she's in serious need! I really love cutting hair, I think I missed my calling:) I do know that I miss being a makeup artist for MAC. I'm not sure if it's totally hip though to have that profession while raising two kids!

Here's what we've been up to...

Avery lovin' on her brother! I sure hope these two grow up to be as close as they are right now!

My happy little guy and my sweet princess that already has "the look" down pat.

Remember in my last post how I was overwhelmed with Artie working so much...well obviously we survived, and this beautiful arrangement made my day when it appeared at my door from my wonderful hubby:) Would you believe it was the first time he sent me flowers in the nearly 13 and 1/2 years we've been together!

Spencer is officially mobil and one day I found him like this!

The next pictures are from our quick trip to the Cincinnati aquarium (which is really across the river in Kentucky) we took last weekend. We had an open house and decided to just leave town for the weekend and headed south.
"Taxicrab" as Avery called this...if you watch Jungle Junction on Disney, you know why!

Artie, Avery, Spencer and Grandpa Barry waiting in line for the dive show (Artie's dad lives in Cincinnati).

The ray swimming by during the dive show. The diver that does this show is a volunteer!

Check out that shark swimming by! There has to be another diver in there to make sure the diver talking to the audience isn't eaten!

Turtles doing what appears to be something for behind closed doors, not see-through glass:)

This is a duck. Why did I take a picture of a duck at the aquarium? Well, because this duck was randomly-and very calmly-swimming in this tank where there were MANY sharks swimming beneath!

Avery checking out the gators...you can see one in the water to the left of her in that orange light.

These frogs were just hanging out in the tree!

Avery really like the frogs.

A very cool bird.

I was pretty intrigued with the jelly fish.

This was a weight sling that they weigh bigger fish on...Avery tried it out (thinking it was a swing and promptly threw a fit when removed from said swing causing us to miss the next exhibit-which was penguins, her favorite-and flee the building) and tipped the scales at a whopping 26 lbs!

A snap of the entrance to the aquarium, which is actually called the Newport Aquarium in Newport, KY.

A shot of Cincinnati from the aquarium.

Finally, my dad is having surgery on Tuesday and so any prayers for this operation to be a success would be very welcome:) Thanks, everyone, have a great weekend!
