For my birthday, Saturday we went to the Garden in the Woods, hiked a little bit, then had a picnic, and I got to buy some plants for my garden. It was thoroughly enjoyable, despite the fact that we got a late start and had to cut the hike short. We also got to try out the new backpack carrier, finally. Jimmy loved it! Here's a pic!

It was a busy day today! We had a playdate at our house this morning, 5 moms plus us. It worked out well! Tons of cleaning, but I love it when the house is all clean. Then Jimmy crashed for his nap, 3 hours long! He seems to have given up his morning nap for good this weekend. I have a hard time even getting him to nurse in the morning. But ( Read more... )

Went to the wedding of Tom's cousin, Brad. It was fun! Tom's mom was there, and we were invited to brunch the day after at Tom's uncle, so it was lots of family goodness. James slept through the entire ceremony, and I got to stay at the reception all the way through the cake! It was fun. Pictures!
