Mother’s Day Weekend

Friday

Beth & Conor came over on Friday and we had fruit salad, Caesar salad, au gratin potatoes, and steak for dinner and it was delicious. They played with Canon and gave him his present from Greece and us. They brought back a glass “eye”. It is good luck in Greece and many people hang them in their homes so I hung it on Canon’s dresser. I’m sure he’ll like to stare at it soon too. They brought me back chocolate and Bill back worry beads. He is going to take them to work so he can use them when he worries. I think it’s an excellent idea, maybe it will save some fingernails ;0)

Saturday

I went to 2 mom2mom sales with my friend Sam this weekend and got some things. It is SO fun to go to those; you never know what you might pick up. I took Canon and he was pretty good most of the time. I bought this bottle thing that is like a nipple with a long tube that goes to the bottle so my pampered (not holding the bottle yet) little boy can eat when its hard to feed him on the go. What does he go and do, he pulls the tube right off and I am like are you kidding me. The kid is a genius. I put it back on and we got through most of the bottle so I was pretty happy. Alex (Sam’s little b0y) was so quiet the whole time. Canon is quite a talker and flirt, kind of like his parents. The acorn doesn’t fall too far from the tree I guess.

I then went to my teeth cleaning and chatted with my hygienist about my baby and her new baby and it was actually a nice visit to the dentist because we chatted so much. I also got to show off Canon’s 6 month pictures. I then went and picked Canon up so Bill & Mickey could demo some BMWs since our friend Chris told them about it. They had fun. They came home and then got the bike out and put together Bill’s parts washer that he got in February and had fun hanging out. Canon and I hung out inside and had a nice time.

Sunday – My first Mother’s Day! May 13th

I think one of the coolest things about being a mom is being part of the mom club. There are a lot of us out there and we can always relate to each other in some way. I was at the DIA and one of the ladies said “Happy Mothers Day” to me and thought it was SO cool that it was my first.

We went to the DIA to see the Ansel Adams exhibit and took Canon. He was pretty good, you can only ask him to stay in his stroller for so long so I carried him some but Bill carried him the rest of the time. It was a really cool exhibit. I saw a picture that I love that I had never seen before so I bought a postcard of it and then I bought a postcard of a sculpture outside the DIA for Canon’s book to record his first visit.

Canon got me a card that was perfect. I love it! He also got me sterling silver beaded earrings and a sterling silver beaded name bracelet. Canon is the name on it of course. It has a heart toggle closure that is so sweet too. I will wear it often and think of my precious little boy.

Monday – My day off

Canon slept on me most of the morning and then let me hold him and play with him the rest. He actually let me pick up the bedroom so that was nice. I laid him in the middle of the bed and put pillows on both sides in case he decided to explore but he really didn’t. He practiced sitting and tummy time and he was content with that.

Beth & Conor & Mickey came over to help Bill with some car work on the Taurus and Beth played with Canon so I was able to get his laundry folded and put away so that was SO nice of her to do.

Well I must go. I will try to update more! Take care everyone!
