Happy Fabirtherday Weekend!

Daddy turned 27!

 It definitely was a busy weekend. Friday was Chase's birthday. Thankfully Grandpa and Grandma Weed came down and watched babies so we could go out. We went to Red Robin to redeem our free birthday burger coupon and then Chase let me beat him in our tennis match. He usually wins, but he took the tragic loss like a champ.

Saturday morning I brought out brownies and ice cream and presents for our little family party.

A rare moment. Anna repeatedly refused ice cream and insisted on eating an apple. Weird huh?

Anna gave daddy a new pair of headphones, since she destroyed his other pair.

After our morining party Chase went to go to take the GMAT. I know he was feeling nervous, but I couldn't believe how nervous I was for him. Thanks to many answered prayers offered by many loved ones, Chase did well and will probably be going back to school a year from this fall.

The party continues with this morning...Father's Day. Chase is a wonderful daddy and these two have become best of buds. Anna and Chad gave daddy a picture of themselves for his desk at work and a Lindt extra creamy milk chocolate bar. 

Here is Chase realizing that he will not be unwrapping his presents without the aid of tiny hands for a very, very long time.

 I can count on one hand the number of times I have cooked him breakfast, thus I had to take a picture of Chase enjoying his peach french toast.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

I feel blessed to closely know three wonderful fathers, Lee Jones, Stephen Weed, and Chase Weed. I am blessed by all their love and service that they have and continue to give to my family. Love you!

Recent Happenings

 Anna, who was not the world's most cuddly baby, has really softened up lately, especially to me. I have been enjoying the spontaneous gush of kisses and hugs. (And let's be honest, I deserve every one of them)

This may not be funny unless you know that Anna is always twirling her hair. Most especially at times when she is just sitting or chilling, eg., watching TV, falling, asleep, riding in the car. The other day the kids and I were on a walk. We were almost home and they had been happy as clams. Anna started screaming out of nowhere. I turned to face her to see she had twirled her hair in a knot and could not pull her finger out. Initially I had a brief moment of panic and irrational worries, but then I went to work. Luckily it came out with a nice good yank, and then I just laughed at the whole situation. Anna was so shocked by the experience she didn't know what to think.

Memorial Day weekend we went to Kangaroo Zoo, and inflatable gym with the Putnams and Grandma and Grandpa Weed. Anna and I bought passes, while Chase spent some time with the baby. I loved it! Sometimes I feel like I don't know how to just have fun as an adult because you should act a certain way. But playing around in the bounce house let me be a kid again. It's really kind of liberating.

Chad has turned the delightful age of 6 months. I love this age! It means all hardships of newborn days are long gone and he is really starting to take off developmentally starting with the sit. He is not sitting yet, still just a noodle. If you've held him, you know what I mean.
