Last Saturday Ian and I took a road trip to DIA. I read on Facebook that an old boss of mine was in CO so we messaged back and forth, deciding a quick meeting at DIA would work best. I was so excited! We have kept in touch ever since I left Wabash Valley Hospital to move to WI - she came to my bridal shower, our wedding and even the baby shower for Ian. I found it only fitting to bring him along so they could meet. She is doing well and looks exactly the same. It was cool to be able to connect this way, so I must admit...Facebook isn't that evil.
We had a playdate scheduled for Saturday with the Courtney crew. Ian is always excited to see Ella. Kate and I decided to check out the new BRU by our house. Whoa - I was not prepared for the insanity that ensued! People everywhere and kids straight flippin' out (including my own)! I prefer the BRU in Ft. Collins because they divide the baby side from the toy side, but not this one - everything in your face as soon as you walk in the door! There was a guy making balloon animals, a lady face painting and various characters in costume. It was fun, just a bit overwhelming.
Arrrr Matey!
Meow.
Whenever we see someone in costume, Ian will ask if he can give them a hug and/or kiss. Geoffrey was spotted from across the way and Ian took off running. I thought for sure he would be more excited about the Stormtroopers than Geoffrey, but I guess the Stormtroopers are more intimidating in person than in book form;)
I promised Ian we would go to the park after he woke up from his nap on Saturday. I was praying the whole time that the weather would hold off long enough for me to keep my promise and thankfully it did! It was pretty windy, but the sun was out so it was nice enough for a few minutes. I kept Milo in the stroller and just wheeled him around the playground. He didn't seem to mind!
Sunday night was bath night and we finally introduced the rubber duck bath tub to Milo. He loved it! Whew. This is the same boy who did not get a bath longer than 30 seconds for the first 6 months of his life. I was worried we might be in for a long haul if he did not like the upgrade. Being able to bathe both of them at the same time truly makes life easier...
and Ian is psyched to have a bathtubmate - not sure the feeling is reciprocated though. Milo has suspicion in his eyes. ha!
We finally took the first step toward landscaping - only took 3 years to get the hald dead shrub removed from the corner! Everyone has nice corner lots and then there is us. Alas, we have a blank slate...well, kind of. I have struggled since moving to CO to figure out the climate in regard to planting. I seem to kill everything, but we don't have the money to plunk down on anything fancy. Not to mention my lack of time or energy. At least if we don't get to planting this summer we won't have an atrocious half-dead juniper bush suffocating our corner lot:)
