Just Joe and I

Amelia slept at my parent's house last night and she came to Target today to ask me if she could sleep there again so tonight it was just Joe and I!  We took a long afternoon nap and then headed to Subway for dinner (with a gift card from Mother's Day!)

He ate his whole sandwich!

When we got back from dinner we started a load of laundry and the plan was to take a quick walk before the rain came.  We made it about six blocks from our house and it started to downpour :(  I must have looked awesome running, with an umbrella stroller, while 24 weeks pregnant in a downpour complete with lightning and thunder.

We mostly played with cars tonight.  They're pretty much all Joe is into these days.  He refers to any vehicle as a do-doo.  When prompted he will say car but for the most part everything is a do-doo.

My beautiful guy :)

This week's favorite bedtime story

It was a very different night with only one kid!  

Off to bed now - I work the weekend for inventory prep!

Mother's Day 2012

This Mother's Day started out nice and early with work at 4 a.m.  I was off by 8:15 and headed home to start the day with the family.  

We spent the morning getting ready to head out to see our families.  My mom, sister and I had a pedicure appointment for 12:30.  We got one last Mother's Day and enjoyed it so we decided to do it again!  It was nice and relaxing having my feet massaged and letting them soak!  

After pedicures we all went over to Jason's sister's house for a grill out.  We had hot dogs and brats.  This was the first time both sides of the family had gotten together so that was special.

We managed to get a fairly decent family picture!  

Before bed that night I wasn't quite so lucky getting a picture with the kids...

Yep, that's us!  At first I was upset it wasn't the "perfect" picture I always hope to get.  Then I realized it didn't matter!  This picture, as well as several of the others Jason took, captured the moment - which is all a camera is made to do.

All in all it wasn't a super exciting day but I did get a few wonderful gifts.  

Handprint tile Amelia made at school :)

Shirt from my kids :)

A "Joseph" bead/charm/pendant (?) to add to my necklace I received my first Mother's Day

I feel very lucky to have the family that I have :)
