Getting OUT

This actually happened awhile ago, but I'm just now getting around to posting about it. Last weekend, we decided we had had ENOUGH of just sitting in the house; we both take turns getting out and about, but never get to go anywhere all together. We decided that, since we got the portable oxygen tank for Amelia, that we'd venture out to get ice-cream. Mind you, Marty, Anderson, and Amelia stayed in the car while I ran into Graeters, but still--we got out! We'd never all been in the car before, and needless to say, it was FULL. As soon as we can afford it, we're going to have to spring for a bigger vehicle. My little Civic isn't cutting it, for sure! When both carseats are in there, the passenger seat must be scooted as far forward as possible; not very comfortable for someone who is 6'5!! We also discovered that Marty would never be able to drive with all of us in the car, because the seats have to be so far forward. Not a good situation!

Anyway, the trip was a success, with only a small amount of fussing by Amelia that was quickly fixed with a pacifier. We were gone and back within probably 45 minutes, and all was well! We got even braver this past weekend and went to *gasp* Target for about 10 minutes to get some new sunglasses for yours truly, and then to Starbucks. Amelia is really not supposed to be around "large crowds" of people yet, but both places were fairly empty, we didn't stay long, and it CANNOT be any more disgusting or germy than the many doctor's offices that we visit--that is a guarantee. It feels really good to get everyone out of the house for a little while, too.

Here are a few pics from our adventures out--please ignore how insanely horrible I look:
