It's party time!

Birthday party invitations have gone out and I'm in the beginning stages of planning the big birthday bash at the Ferguson household. Rufus' party is going to be the first time that many of our family members have been to our home so that means it's time for some spring cleaning!!!!

But before I begin the spring cleaning I've got to get a handle on the tornado that tears through our home on a daily basis. Rufus is just starting to take a few steps on his own but he's managed to take over our living room and create his own little play pen with our DVDs, videotapes and magazines thrown anywhere and everywhere. I've learned to accept some degree of chaos in my life and actually enjoy picking up the toys, tapes and magazines before going to bed.....it's my chance to see what Rufus has gotten into that day.

Today I actually got off work early and was able to meet Rhadi and Rufus at the park. Rufus and I took our first ride on the carousel together!! It was a beautiful day here in South Florida and I was so thankful to be able to spend it with my family at the park.

So now I'm off to make my shopping list and can't wait to keep you posted as the big day approaches.

Rufus' Mom,

Traci

P.S. I'm posting late because I just got back from watching Rhadi and Jeff Monson work out at the gym. They had a late training session and Rhadi wanted to get in a few rounds with Jeff before he leaves for Japan. Rhadi will be talking about his training session with Jeff on his blog www.thejudocrusader.com So check it out. And make sure to visit my blog "The Health and Wellness Queen" for the latest information and advice about healthy living. So take care.
