We had a pretty fun weekend around the Bishop-Royse house. Saturday morning Dave went to practice and Nico and I went to Cracker Barrel for some morning noms. We got some blueberry pancakes that were to Nico's liking. After that, we headed to the library, where we got a whole gang of new books. Nico had a good time rocking in the rocking chairs. Then we headed to the grocery. It was raining when we came home and Nico said while helping me bring the groceries in ("the rain is getting Nico!". Seriously? How adorable?
After nap on Saturday afternoon, Dave and I attempted to move and convert Nico's crib. See, we're having grammas and grampas coming up next month, to hang with little homey during his extended vacay from school. So we figured we would move Nico into our room (officially- he's been sleeping in our bed since my surgery). This required taking apart the crib, which we came to find out really was a piece of chinese crap (really, I am not being stereotypical here) because it didnt have the stuff to convert to a toddler bed. So that was definitely a toddler bed fail. We ended up buying a new one (on ebay), which should suffice. Its not a car bed or anything... so its entirely possible that we wont ever get him to sleep in it.
Sunday was cool- because I went into campus early to work on job market stuff. Dave and Nico went to get some breakfast and then headed to Lake Ella, where Nico chased some ducks. A baby duck chased Nico and then Nico chased him back and they got in staring contest. Dave got some hilarious video, so hopefully we can post that soon.
Sunday afternoon, we watched the finals of the womens world cup... which was disappointing. It kinda bummed me out... but what are you going to do? Japan put away their chances when they had them, and did the one thing they HAD to do... hit their PKs, which could not be said of the US. I shrug.
Today has been sorta low key so far- I am giving a brief presentation for our joint CDC site visit today. So I had to turn my swag on. I also went to the gym for the first time in 2 months today. Very happy about that. All for now.

It was fun.
Howdy Nico fans!!
We had a fun weekend! Dave and I finally upgraded beds!! Woooo hooooo!! One of my friends' husband works at the Sears in Thomasville. I put him on the lookout for any deals on king sized mattresses and box springs because we've been wanting to get one for a while. Well, they ended up having a California King mattress that needed to get sold. One thing led to another and I brought it home this weekend. Dave spent yesterday setting it up and we are very happy with it. Its taller than our queen bed was, so I am not sure how that is going to work with the dogs sleeping in it. They are old and rickety... so I dont know if they will be able to get in and out of it like the old bed. Which is actually funny because we decided we needed the bigger bed because the dogs take up so much of the space.
We did the fireworks thing yesterday. Dave and Nico and I went to Tom Brown park for the July 4th festivities. It rained just before the fireworks were supposed to happen, so we got there and it wasnt too crazy. Unfortunately, I am still on crutches, so I couldnt bird-dog Nico very well. We ended up having some hot dogs and hamburgers and then left (before fireworks started). We wanted to leave ahead of the crowd and find a place on Capital Circle to watch. There were several places on Capital Circle where people had decided they would view the fireworks and started impromptu viewing parties, from the beds of their pick up trucks or on top of their cars. It was pretty cool.
We ended up settling on Sams Club at Cap Circle. Nico had a pretty good time. He said the fireworks were fun, but he wanted to go home to take a nap (it was pretty late at this point). Very adorable.
Have a few pictures from the weekend. Not many because its hard enough toting my own self anywhere, let alone toting my big girl camera. Speaking of which, getting my cast off next week (monday). Woo hoo. I am hoping to start swimming a lot next week. Wooo hoooo!! And shooting more pictures. And cooking. By the way... the first thing we are cooking is popsickles. Apparently, you put slices of fruit in a popsickle mold and pour in capri sun and that is the most delicious popsicle ever. Oh, and I have three words for you: cookie dough truffles. Yeah. For real.
Other than that: we're back on the grind. I guess I am officially on the job market. My letter writers have information to write letters about me. I am getting my materials together. Very nervous. Very.
All for now.
