Today has been a really nice day. This morning I went walking with my mom, and as luck would have it, we beat the rain by mere minutes. It was a rare treat to go walking with just my mom (no children in tow, no dogs) as the boys were sleeping and Major is in the dog house since he has lost a little too much weight (he is still skipping some meals). When I got back to the house all three boys were awake and Doug immediately thanked me for his Daddy photos. I left the frame on the bathroom counter so he would see it first thing when he got up.
As a side story -- we found out that we were expecting Tyler a year ago today. I took the test in the morning and when I got the positive result I signed a father's day card for Doug from Andrew & the Baby and set up his 2006 Daddy photos of Andrew in the bathroom on the counter. I then wrote on the mirror with marker, "Happy Father's Day to a Daddy of 2!" and I left the test on the counter next to his cards and the frame. When Douglas got up he had a hard time reading the mirror at first because he didn't have his glasses on! When he finally put his glasses on, it took him a minute to put two and two together. He told me later he was 99% sure that I was pregnant but he wanted to be sure before he got excited because he didn't want to bum me out if that was not what I was trying to tell him. :) I can't believe it has been a full year since then!
Ok, so back to this morning ... Doug said that he didn't see the frame at first, but when he finally did see it, he doubled checked to make sure that there were not any other announcements (which there weren't!).
Shortly thereafter, our parents came over for brunch that we prepared. It was nice to spend the morning with them and they really enjoyed spending quality time with the boys while we made breakfast. Another side note -- I love having a big breakfast because it really keeps me full all day long. After our big breakfast, our parents left and we all took an afternoon nap -- ahhh. A perfect thing to do on a rainy afternoon. I can't believe that it is already after 7:00 p.m., daylight savings really plays tricks on me. The day is quickly getting away from me. It is just about time to start dinner and get ready for Monday -- making my lunch, prepping Tyler's bottles, etc. Before I get to the chores though, I will take a minute to fill you all in on the rest of our weekend.
Friday night was really low key. I was far more tired than I realized and after having dinner and putting the boys to bed I fell asleep before 10:00 on the couch watching a Tivo'ed episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Side note 3 -- I am SO upset that Studio 60 is not coming back, it was such a great show!
Saturday was a fun day for Andrew as we went to his friend Grace's 3rd birthday Party at one of those jumping places. Andrew loves those places! He also enjoys all of the juice and cake that comes with birthday parties. Actually, Andrew had his very first real slice of pizza at the party. He had taken bites of pizza before and he had home made pizza cut into strips, but this was his first slice of Papa Johns. At first he was not even remotely interested in it -- he even half cried, "I don't want pizza." So, I pushed it away and told him that he didn't have to eat it. He sat there drinking his juice while the rest of us enjoyed our pizza. Then, I guess after watching all the other kids eat pizza, he decided he would give it a try ... and he ate the entire slice. His daddy was very proud as pizza is one of his very favorite foods!
