Well...

I was going to post this fun little blog about the kids and my adventures today at the Cincy Museum, which I will still blurb about, but then I received the most horrible news after I got home. I can't go any further without talking about this. I am in such a state of shock. I have had 2 calls from NILMDTS this weekend. Unfornately I was unavailable for the first family, but thank God Jenny Linn was able to come to their aid. However, the second call came this afternoon and all I was told was that it was a little boy, and he was currently on life support. I talked to the nurse and we discussed availability on Monday and she said she would talk to the parents. Fast forward to this evening, the nurse called me back to tell me that Monday would be fine and that the mom was there and when she was looking at the list of names, she told the nurse that she knows me. The nurse said her name, and I swear to you the blood must have drained from my face immediately. Never ever in my life when I decided to become a part of NILMDTS, that one of the families would be someone that is dear to my heart. But that is what has happened. My lovely friend gave birth to her beautiful boy only to know that he will soon be taken away...I just can't even make sense of it. I'm just so sad. I'll say as many prayers for them all tonight as I can. I thank God that I decided to be a part of NILMDTS, almost as if this was the purpose. Monday is going to be rough. :(

As I said, the boys and I had a great time at the Cincy Museum. I'm finding it difficult at the moment to express some joy over the day considering, but trust me when I say it was a good day up until the afternoon came. We got there mid-morning and went straight to the Natural History Museum. Apparantly its the only place I can willingly get my children to brush and floss, even though the teeth were larger than life and not their own. After that, we hit the Omnimax for a cool flick called Titanica...I'm sure you can guess what it was about. After the Omnimax was an Artifact Exhibit on the Titanic. This was waay cool. The boys were totally fascinated by seeing a part of history in person. Adam has always been intrigued by the Titanic, so I knew he would enjoy it. We werent able to take pictures inside, but they did hand out boarding passes to everyone before you went it that had actual passengers names on, so I took pics of that,lol. Jacobs favorte part was a replica of the iceberg that was made of actual ice. I had to restrain him from trying to lick it,lol. After the Titanic exhibit, we ate lunch and then headed to the Children's Museum. This is where we spent the majority of the day. I let them run themselves ragged while I watched,lol. If you have never been to the Cincy Museum, it is a total blast.The building itself is a little piece of history. Our original plans were to go to the zoo, but considering the weather has been not so pleasant this weekend, we opted for this instead. Im glad we did! Tata for now
