I couldn't figure out why Auggie would just sit here and chill all the time. It's such a random spot in our kitchen. Then I realized it was because of the heat vent. He likes the warmth. 😻

12M ~ August 2021
Yesterday we took Auggie to the vet because we noticed he wasn't himself and seemed to be feeling some discomfort. A quick Google search of some symptoms and I thought it was a UTI. But it turned out to be struvite crystals in his urine which could cause blockage and kidney failure. 😿
My poor buddy. He's doing OK now but still at risk for blocking so we're to keep our eyes on him for the next few days and he's on strict new diet that should help prevent build up of more crystals.
So grateful to the staff at Cilley Veterinary Clinic for spoiling and taking care of my sweet boy the last two days.

The annual scavenger hunt was a giant blow up Santa for the yard. I don't know why David wanted this so badly, but he did. 😂

Tried out the Winnipesaukee River Rail Trail today! Nice views along the way. Not well marked once you get into Tilton but otherwise a fun ride! 🚴♀️ @ Winnipesaukee River Trail Association.

Day 29: A song you remember from your childhood!
The Doc: Patience - Guns N' Roses
Shaun: Animals - Maroon 5
The Cranberries defined my adolescence, but Madonna defined my childhood. I legit preformed many concerts in front of my bedroom mirror (with the classic hairbrush microphone) and this song was my encore! True Blue and Like a Prayer were my favorite albums from my childhood (which I defined as ages 5 to 10 (because I used 11 and 12 as the "pre-teen years in an earlier category).
Since we could not get together on Mother's Day, my sister brought my mom up for a social distancing visit. We ordered breakfast from Tucker's and I did my mom's Color Street nails for her.
Socially distant belated Mother's Day picture taken by Evan.
Charlie took Shaun and David for a bike ride out of our neighborhood and onto the main road. They both did great. He sent me this selfie! I love when he thinks to do this! 🥰
Remy has the right idea!

Day 24: A song by a band you wish were still together!
The Doc: Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham! 😂 I think he's messing with me!
Evan: Thunderstruck - AC/DC
I have said this in a previous post. The Cranberries are one of my all time favorite bands and I was so saddened when I heard about the lead singer Dolores O'Riordan's passing. I regret so much not getting to see this band live. No Need to Argue is probably my favorite album of all time. I love every song on this album but this one, in particular, is so haunting and beautiful. I love her voice so, so much.
It's Mother's Day - it was cold and windy and we are still on stay at home orders and so I wasn't able to host my traditional Best Mom's family brunch, we made the best of it! The boys even took this very special photo with me without complaining! 😆 Happy Mother's Day to all the awesome Mom's I know! 💕🌷🥰
One last picture with Charlie's quarantine hair!
Mother's Day Quarantine Style...started off with virtual bootcamp (see sweaty selfie), a Bloody Mary and Tucker's for brunch, made a delicious loaf of sourdough with my new bread baker, snuggled with my cat while listening to some podcasts in peace and quiet, found a surprise gift on my front porch (thank you secret friend!), and finished with an ice cream treat from Arnie's while watching a couple episodes of Parks and Rec! The only thing missing was seeing all of our family. 🌷💕😊🥰
Sweaty Selfie!
Bloody Mary! 🍹

Day 23: A song you think everyone should listen to!
The Doc: Lazy Eye - Silversun Pickups
There are literally thousands of songs that I think everyone should listen to...sn't that the whole point of this experiment? One song that came to mind was From Now On from The Greatest Showman but I wanted to go with something that might not be as well known that I think everyone should go and listen to, so I chose this song. I also had Maroon 5 - Lost Stars, Great Big World - This is the New Year, Chantal Kreviazuk - Surrounded and Lenka - Everything's Okay on my list. Waiting for My Real Life to Begin is such a great song that I first heard from watching Scrubs. They actually did their own version which was great and it made me seek out the original Colin Hay version which I also love and I think you should listen to both!
We had some crazy weather today. Snow, wind, cold AND quarantined on Mother's Day Weekend??? That is NEXT, NEXT level bullshit. ❄️ And you know on Father's Day it will be gorgeous, sunny, warm and stay at home orders will be lifted for most places...🙄😒
🤷♀️❄️😂🏊♂️🥶
When else would you be able to get a picture being in the pool while it was snowing!?!
Mum. I haz sushi?

Day 21: A song that has a person's name in the title!
The Doc: ¡Viva La Gloria! - Green Day
David: Baba O'Riley - The Who
This was a hard one to narrow down because there are SO many choices and songs I love with names in the titles. Did you know there was a song by Toto called Pamela? The Beatles have Polythene Pam (but I don't think I look like a man!) too, so I could have just picked one of those and called it a day. 😆 And speaking of The Beatles, they alone have so many great ones, (Dear Prudence, Penny Lane, Hey Jude, Lady Madonna, Martha My Dear, Rocky Raccoon), but I already did a Beatles song and while there is no reason I can't choose another one, I am trying to show off a variety of my musical tastes! Other songs on my list, were Dear Jessie by Madonna, Jeremy by Pearl Jam, Romeo & Juliet by Dire Straits and Buddy Holly by Weezer. I chose this song because it's just one of those quirky songs I remember from high school that brought me way back when I found it! I couldn't believe I had forgotten this song but as soon as I listened I remember most of the words! Haha!
Oh Remy! 🤦♀️ 😹
I have some flour now. 😬😆

Day 17: A song you'd sing a duet with someone on karaoke:
The Doc: He said pass. 🙄 There is no song that he would ever want to sing karaoke, let alone a duet. 🤦♀️😆 Also he knows I would want him to learn it so we could preform it together, even though I promised him he wouldn't ever have to again! 🤣Me: Come What May - Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor from Moulin Rouge
David: One Last Time - Christopher Jackson & Lin-Manuel Miranda from Hamilton
Shaun: Don't Go Breaking My Heart - Elton John & Kiki Dee
Evan: Bumper Cars - Alex & Sierra
First of all, I would never turn down the opportunity to sing a duet at karaoke, no matter the song choice. Evan's song is a new one we found that I love because their harmonies are so beautiful. But this one is a favorite. This song was the song that was our "last dance" at our wedding and one time on a car ride he humored me and sang Ewan's part, while I sang Nicole's. He made sure it was very clear that it was a ONE and ONLY. I love him for it and have honored his wishes to this day. He hasn't had to sing with me again!
😂😂😂
Boot camp is back - although it's virtual - it's still better than nothing. After working out on my porch I made pancakes for the boys using sourdough starter. The batter sits overnight and gets all bubbly in the morning! YUM! I added blueberries to mine so they were "healthy". Ha!

It was so great to finally have such a nice day! The kids swam a bit and I spent a good portion of the day sitting on my porch. Evan the cat was living his best life "outside". Our favorite local ice cream place opened up for the weekend for call ahead orders of ice cream so I placed my order in the morning and we picked it up after dinner.
