Corey working!

0 comments Posted by The McMillins at 7:47 PM


Well, Corey just got done working 12 days in a row. He was suppose to get off 2 days but his work called him into work. He had gotten off last Sunday night from work and wasn't suppose to go back until last Wednesday night. His boss called him around 11 A.M. on Monday to call him into work that night for night shift. So, he didn't get 2 days off. He worked straight through. On his last day he went to the gym right after work and pulled a muscle in his shoulder/ back area. He has been in a LOT of pain since he got off work yesterday morning.

Today, we surprised Zach and took him to Chuck E. Cheese. He had so much fun. Of course, Corey had a lot of fun too. We thought it might be fun for all of us have a "family day" and have fun since Corey has been working so much. Then, we came home and relaxed the rest of the day. We ordered pizza for dinner so we didn't have to go anywhere.

Gretchen, in the mean time, has been getting ready for Thanksgiving AND going Christmas shopping. She's ALMOST done. :)

Resting!

Gretchen was so tired from cleaning so much before everyone came over to the house and from cooking that she didn't feel like doing much this week. Zach didn't have school on Tuesday, so him and her slept in while Corey had to go to work. Poor thing.... he's been working so much lately. Gretchen went to the gym, went to her bible study and has cooked for Corey. She hasn't really cleaned anything until yesterday and today. She did laundry and made sure the house was nice and clean for Corey when he gets off of work tonight.
Zach has been a little sick lately. He's just had a little cold but it's annoying him, you can tell. He doesn't like it very much. We really don't want to give him any medicine. We try not to so his little body isn't getting loaded with medicines. The allergist we were seeing put him on 3 or 4 different medications. Corey asked her if he was ever going to get off these medicines and she said probably not. We stopped going to her b/c she would put him on medicines that he didn't really need. We just stopped going and stopped giving him the medicines. He's been fine.
Gretchen has been trying to finish her Christmas shopping. She's trying to wait until "Black Friday" to get some really good deals. Hopefully by then, she'll be completely done. She is going to make some things for some people but we can't say what it is so it will be a surprise for those receiving it. :)

Zach's Party!

0 comments Posted by The McMillins at 7:44 PM

Gretchen's parents flew in last night. We picked them up at the airport and then stayed up until midnight. Then, we had to get up early so we could show Gretchen's parents this house that is for sale. They are looking at possibly moving down here in the future. So, we were all tired today.
We took Gretchen's parents out to McAlister's for lunch. While we were out we went to "Ross" and Gretchen did some more Christmas shopping. She's almost done all our Christmas shopping! Then, we had to pick up Zach's birthday cake and balloons. We came home and Gretchen had to finish making the crab dip for the party. Corey had to marinate the baby back ribs and get those ready to put in the oven for the afternoon. Gretchen's mom had to do the goody bags for the kids for the party and Gretchen's Dad just kept Zach occupied. We got everything done and Zach had a good birthday party. We think he really enjoyed all the attention.
After everyone left, Gretchen cleaned everything up and finished cooking dinner for her parents and then we just relaxed the rest of the evening. It was a VERY busy day! Corey has to work tomorrow so hopefully the day will go a little slower. :)

Zach's 3rd Birthday!

0 comments Posted by The McMillins at 8:39 PM


Well, the day is finally here when Zach is no longer a toddler but more of a little boy. He is 3 years old! Can you believe it? Time goes by so fast! Hopefully he had a fun day. We tried to make him feel EXTRA special and let him decide what he wanted to do and eat for the day. We figured he'd probably want to eat a lot of junk food. Since he's not allowed to eat that much junk food any other time, we figured he should enjoy being able to eat whatever he wants.

Gretchen got to work out at the gym today and then come home to do more cleaning. She's doing very detailed cleaning. She cleaned the oven, the stove, the microwave, the dishwasher and the refrigerator. She's been very busy. The next 2 days she's going to be VERY busy! She can't wait to be able to relax. :)
