This is the only photo I could get of me & my drama queen on Mother's Day. In true toddler form, after church she preferred to run around rather than stay still to get her picture taken. At least we got a good family shot!
Mother's day was pretty good, but rather uneventful this year. Brett didn't have any church activities other than Sunday morning, so we went out for lunch, then came home & relaxed some. A couple at church gave us a bunch of "stuff" for the baby, including a bedding set. It is very similar to the one we'd picked out, a sports theme, only with blues instead of browns. So we took a trip to Babies 'R Us to see if they had the set there (they don't, but they do have some other items that will go well with it-- like a lamp, wall decor, etc.-- really we won't need much else!). Brett put up a birdhouse that he'd bought me, so Leah & I can watch the bluebirds out our kitchen window. Saturday Brett & his friend Steve installed our new dishwasher-- our old one broke over 2 months ago & we've had to wash dishes by hand for awhile-- this might have been one of the best gifts I could have gotten!
I took Leah Saturday to the NC State Arboretum, which is apparently the place to go for professional-looking photos. There are some great photo places-- of course Leah would much rather do anything but stop & take pictures so I didn't get many great posed shots, but I hope to go back again soon (maybe when it's not so hot!) with Brett to get some more family shots. Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
And of course, the best part about our new dishwasher for Leah was the box! She is having a blast in her new "house" (which she calls it), complete with a door & 2 windows. She has carried all her books & toys in there, and every so often insists that Mommy or Daddy join her inside her house. (Of course Mommy & Daddy don't fit quite as well!)
