on the horizon

my parent's 50th anniversary is just around the corner
and i'm excited about flying home to florida to spend
a weekend celebrating this special event.

these are the beautiful invitations that were sent out a few weeks ago.





.














my sis chose this design out of many from this on-line card store.
i love the vintage-like design and feel of the invitation,
it fits perfectly with the old faded wedding day photo.
they never had a professional photographer,
snapshots are all they have.

there are a few handful of events that truly make
me giddy - weddings, births, major milestone birthdays and
this one - my parents 50th wedding anniversary.
it's so rare anymore and i admit, i'm very proud to have
parents who beat the odds. *wink*

my parents declined a big party in their honor,
but they are allowing us (their children) to plan a celebratory weekend
full of activities. it begins in st. augustine - the oldest inhabited city in the country,

my father is a huge history buff and hasn't visited,
so i'm excited about experiencing it with him.
i think my mother will love the charm of this spanish city and especially
enjoy the historic homes and bed and breakfasts.

there's lots to look forward and i'm counting down the weeks!

~ on a not so fun note, scoutie woke at 4am with an painful earache.
i have a call into his pediatrician hoping to get him in to see her this morning.
i can't recall him ever having one before.
finn however, had several as a toddler - they were horrible!
most were middle and outer ear infections, and no antibiotics were given.
his pediatrician (who is also scouts) would only call in a prescription for an
'inner' ear infection.  i wonder what scoutie has.  this could be a long day...

i'm just coming back to this post to drop in this picture of scoutie.
it's rare this little guy gets sick but this day, he was completely MISERABLE. 
until we got the medicine in him, there was nothing i could do to help him.
as a parent, there's nothing worse than to watch your babies hurting and
not being able to make it better.
