Ian and Milo are busy little boys. They love going to Miss Lily's daycare - she loves to celebrate and Ian loves to eat cake. A perfect match! She had a Mardi Gras party for the kids on Fat Tuesday and Ian couldn't get enough.
Working full-time and trying to launch a side business can keep a girl on her toes 24/7, but I was able to break away from it all for a few minutes and meet up with some old friends at Wahoo's. Maggie, Courtney, Erin and I used to all work together at Rogue Wave - Maggie is still ridin' the wave, but the rest of us are scattered about. It isn't always easy to get together, but I am so happy we made some time a couple of weeks ago. Even Linnea (Erin's daughter) was able to join us and that is always a treat!
My brother had to go to Mexico on business a couple of weeks ago so I decided to pack up the boys and pay Aunt Heather and Peyton a visit one evening. It can be hard to get a good picture when you have three moving targets and only one that you can truly communicate with. Ha! Peyton couldn't get enough of Milo all night - it was like she was shouting, "Hey, I am over here. Play with me!"
Casey's parents arrived on Friday afternoon. We were all very excited to see them! It had been about 7 months since we saw them last and so much has changed! Milo sits up, he talks and laughs - a barrel of fun. Much different from the crying, pooping mess he was last time they saw him:) Ian couldn't wait to show them his big boy bed and his NEW potty trained skills. Sunday was our first big outing with no diapers. He did great - no accidents! I now know where every restroom is at the Denver Zoo - soon to be the Denver Metro area as a whole I am sure. We are very proud of him and ever SO happy to only be purchasing diapers for one little man. Milo has only been to the zoo once before and that was for Denver Zoo Lights in December, which he slept through. This time he was awake and able to take it all in. It was very busy due to the beautiful weather so he didn't sleep a wink, until we got in the car and then he passed out (sporting his new hat from Grandma - love it!).
I tried to get some pictures of the boys with Grandma and Grandpa before they left today, but Ian wasn't having it. Milo didn't seem to mind though. He was too busy chewing on his "foot". It was so nice to spend a few days with them. Mike helped me develop some templates for a card caddy. I love crafting with her. They are very cool - if you want to see them for yourself you will have to come visit our booth at the Erie Town Fair on May 21st!
Maggie came to the rescue yet again and watched the boys for us last night so we could enjoy a nice dinner out with his parents on their last night. We were hoping to hit up our old standby, Sugarbeet, but they are closed on Monday and Tuesday nights for special events. So, we tried Terroir. I finally got to sit at the window table. Not as dreamy as I imagined, but I liked being able to watch the hustle and bustle of our little town while dining. This building is actually the first building Casey and I ever ate a meal in. We came to Longmont when we were looking for apartments to rent in 2006 and at the time there was a cajun style restaurant here. We were starving so we stopped in - it was good, but didn't last long because it was gone by the time we actually moved to Longmont in 2008. I enjoyed a French 75 - my new favorite summer time cocktail! A delicious beet salad for an appetizer, orecchiette with fresh vegetables, kalamata olives and local feta cheese from Haystack . I ended the night with a molten chocolate cake with coffee ice cream for dessert. Yummy! It was a delicious meal with great company.
The boys must have had a great time with Maggie last night because this is what they looked like in their beds this morning. Too funny! Ian asked where Maggie was as soon as he got up this morning and Casey replied, "She went home to see Encino Man." Thought you would like that one, Maggie;) A BIG thank you to being such a good friend and "nanny" to our boys - we are all blessed to have you in our lives!
