Mother's Day

The boys and Matt took me out to Ocean Prime, one of my favorite restaurants. They were very well-behaved and Matt and I were able to enjoy some yummy food. I splurged and bought a mocha capp complete with a sugar stirrer. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. We have the best and hardest job in the world!

Downton Abbey

Matt and I started watching this after several friends and my in-laws said that it was really good. It IS really good. We finished the first season and I am 15th on the waiting list at the library for the second season. Last night, I found out I can watch them online for free with my amazon prime membership! Woo hoo!

Colorado Trip

My parenting group has been a wonderful blessing. Beaumont Hospital puts moms together that had similar due dates so everyone in my group had babies between June and August of 2009. We got together every week from when our babies were 4 months old to almost a year old. It was nice to go through the challenge of being first time moms together. Now that our lives are much busier, it was surprising that so many of us could drop everything and spend a weekend visiting one of our fellow moms, who had moved to Colorado recently. We had a great time seeing Boulder and spending time at a dude ranch/spa. A huge thanks to all of the dads who took care of our kids while the moms went to play. It was the first time I had ever left the boys and I was pretty anxious about it. I don't think there is any other way I could have left them, unless it was with my Beaumont group. We were in this together again!
