Our day started by taking this cute little face to the doctor for his 9 month check-up. He had been battling a bad cold all week and I just wanted the doctor to confirm all was okay. Well, he did confirm that all was okay and that there was nothing I could be doing to help his cough (a cough so bad it was making him gag and throw up!), but added that he had a right ear infection AND still isn't gaining weight like the doctor would like so additional labwork and a urinalysis was needed. Ugh! I am okay with blood and needles, but having to hold down my 9 month old while they desperately search for a vein and he is screaming for his life was not exactly how I wanted to start my day! All in all, we survived and his labs came back normal. We head back at the end of the month to get his ear checked and I am praying, wishing, hoping and crossing my fingers that he has gained weight!
We got the kids dropped off and headed to Denver to spend the day. Getting some QT with Casey was long overdue!
First stop - a driveby Centennial IKEA, which is set to open July 27th. I cannot wait!! I will be celebrating Maggie's 30th birthday at Lake of the Ozarks and will get back on the 26th. I figured I would need time to recover from my trip and gear up for IKEA so I took the whole week off. I can't handle the crowd of opening day, but I am thinking a trip later in the week is definitely on the agenda.
Next stop, lunch at Euclid Hall. This place has been on our wishlist for awhile and man was it worth the wait! It was a gorgeous day so we were able to sit outside and soak up the sun while enjoying a couple of beers. Perfection in my eyes. The food was awesome. I highly recommend this place if you are ever looking for a delicious meal in Denver!
Pickle Sampler
Cheese curds - hell yeah!
Bone marrow - tried it, but could do without it.
Sausage and mustard sampler - yummy! Casey said the blood sausage was better than the one we tried at Cafe Iberico and I decided to take his word for it. One blood sausage is enough for me in a lifetime!
Chicken n' Waffles - yes please!
With our anniversary on Friday and Mother's Day on Sunday it made for a busy weekend. All I wanted for Mother's Day was to sleep in. I had been dreaming about it all week. It didn't work out in my favor though. Ian is all about Daddy 99% of the time, but on the ONE day I could sleep in he just had to see me and was waking me up at 7:30! It is really hard to resist his cuteness...
I am blessed to be the mother of these two beautiful boys!
Ian decided that they needed to treat me to ice cream for Mother's Day and there was no way I was ggoing to object to that! It was another nice day so we took a stroll down to Glacier Ice Cream. They have the BEST Junior Mint ice cream - double it with Double Dark Chocolate and I am in heaven!
We asked for a kids' cone of vanilla for Ian...um, clearly their idea of kids' size and mine are two different things! He loved it though:)
Last weekend was exhausting. Monica and I have spent countless hours preparing for the Erie Town Fair this weekend. All the blood (literally!), sweat and tears we have put in these last few months will hopefully pay off on Saturday. We are so excited!!
That being said, I didn't want to cook last weekend at all. It was a dreary weekend and I just wanted something warm in my belly without having to put in effort. We decided to take the boys out for dinner - something I have been avoiding for months (as my first experience when Milo was just a few weeks old has left a bad taste in my mouth!). We chose Passage to India and we went early as to beat any dinner crowd. Food was okay, service was bad. I probably will not go again. But Milo had a blast sitting in the high chair and munching on pappadums. He devoured a couple of them and loved my Aloo Mateer.
He looks so serious in this picture:) Dining out was a success and I feel like we are starting to resume a somewhat normal life. It is amazing how much one little life can change yours. Milo loves watching his big brother - he wants to eat his food, play with his toys and now that he has started crawling he is going to be all over it. We don't think Ian has figured this part out yet...life is good.
