Over the weekend, Vinnie and Dustin were in town, so they visited our family. They are starting their own little family. Vinnie is 12 weeks prego! I'm so excited for them! Aaron and I also went on a much needed date. The weather was fantastic! Eli's old teacher, Miss Rachel watched the boys, I was not worried at all, Eli remembered her right away. He did sit at Stoli's window when we left and Rachel said he was sad for just a little bit, but got over it pretty fast. Aaron and I went to the Power and Light District. Aaron had not been there yet, so we did a little pub crawl and had snacks as well. I had the best bread pudding at this Irish Pub, it beat out Pot Pie's bread pudding. It was DELICIOUS! We were home by 11:30.
Sunday we were up early thanks to our little alarm clock, Eli. He did not watch the movie we started for very long. We had breakfast and decided to do some yard work. The whole family enjoyed the nice weather. Keenan sat in the shade in his bouncy seat, and Eli was all over the place, following Aaron, me, and Stoli around. I was able to plant some flowers in my front garden. We all went to bed pretty early, Aaron fell asleep reading to Eli. Aaron was passed out and Eli was looking through his books on his own as I fell asleep feeding Keenan.
This week I'm going to be gardening and working on my scrapbooks and the boys' baby books. I'm hoping to at least get started on the scrapbooks. Aaron has been giving me crap because I've been trying to start on our scrapbooks since we got married!
Well, I'm going to savor this time I have at home. It's been painful, challenging, and finally fun! I have 8 more pounds to lose to get to my starting weight. I think I need to start running again to lose the last few pounds. I've started lifting free weights again too. Aaron is taking Friday off so we can have a nice 4 day weekend together. Hopefully we'll be able to do a lot of fun family stuff together.
Mama Rourke will be here on Monday to watch Keenan for the month, then back to work for me! Ugh!

WOW - only 8 more pounds to get back to starting weight? I'm sooo impressed. I've indulged way too much. Good for you. Bummer about going back to work. And how the heck did you have time to do those invitations? I was very impressed. They're cute. Good job.
We'll be seeing in July. Don't know exactly when yet, but we'll be there!
Did you just take two months off or has it already been three? Time flies and I can't keep up. Maternity leave needs to be broken up in three parts so you can actually enjoy your time off more when they are a little older. That first six weeks is just so crazy. I'm sure you'll take the last 8 off in no time.
Those announcements were awesome. I'm impressed! We can't wait to visit...perhaps in June. Have a good last week of maternity leave.
