This has been an extremely busy weekend! The festivities started on Thursday night when I picked up Jane Butcher, Mark's mom from the airport. Mark had no idea that she was flying in and thought that Jessie & Mark were getting pizza delivered. It was quite the surprise when he opened up the door and saw his mom standing there!
Friday I had an early day at work and left at 3 to babysit James. I had the privilege of hearing his second word (even though no one was around me to witness) I was at work and I said "are you ready to go dude?" and then he goes "dude" it was so funny. We had a fun time playing with blocks, push toys & his sword. He also enjoyed his dinner of black bean soup! yumm!
After dinner, Ben arrived and we had lots of fun dancin, dancin, dancin to the music.. or more like rainforest noises. Friday I had an early day at work and left at 3 to babysit James. I had the privilege of hearing his second word (even though no one was around me to witness) I was at work and I said "are you ready to go dude?" and then he goes "dude" it was so funny. We had a fun time playing with blocks, push toys & his sword. He also enjoyed his dinner of black bean soup! yumm!
Saturday I went to a baby shower for a girl from our community group. it was a wonderful time to spend with some amazing women, and of course I got to hold the baby :) Ben & I then headed over to Jessie's for Mark's birthday. We had a great time- it was quite the full house! There was quite an array of tasty food.. spicy artichoke dip, pizza, queso dip & fruit salad. Nothing lasted more than like 10 seconds, so it was tough keeping everything stocked!
After the party Ben & I went to Courtney's for some yummy minestrone soup. It was so great to see her and share pictures from our honeymoon adventures!
Sunday was a really fun experience for us. We started out by going to brunch at Salty's. We have wanted to go here for a really long time, but because it is a little pricey, we've held off. It could not have been a more gorgeous day to go. It was a beautiful, crisp, fall day. The colors of the trees were so vivid and the sky was very blue. We were seated on sea level view, so we had an awesome view of the skyline. The food was incredible!! There was so much to eat, it was almost overwhelming. We definitely had our share of crepes, omelets, mac & cheese, fruit, scrambled eggs and not to mention the massive dessert table. There was one little accident though-- I was in the middle of a conversation with Jessie & didn't realize that my entire hand went into the chocolate fountain! Woops!
After brunch, we went on an errand frenzy! We went to REI, West Marine, Shane Co, Williams Sonoma, Macy's , Target, and BBB. We then went back to the house to pick up some items that we forgot that needed to be returned to Macy's, and we went back to Macy's , Target & BBB. Needless to say, we got a TON of new stuff & were pretty tired! We finished off the night with another wonderful dinner at Jessie's.
Well i'm exhausted writing this post, so it must have been a busy weekend! i'll post more pictures when I get them from Jess.
