Nice weekend

We had a very nice Mother's Day weekend. Friday evening we went to see Uncle Chris's band play at Paisley Violin. It was First Friday, which means the whole downtown arts area was just jam-packed with people. It was a really neat scene and I wish you were a little older and could enjoy it more.

Saturday was our annual company picnic, which was a blast! Pictures are in her Ofoto gallery. If you need the link, send me an email. You got to ride a pony... no, TWO PONIES! You had the time of your life, and between the ponies, the petting zoo and the bouncies, I think you thought you were in absolute heaven. You were really good, too, only getting fussy at all when it was well past nap time. We had a brief scream-fest as we were leaving at about 2:00, and you screamed for about 15 minutes as we headed home. You slept for 2.5 hours, which caused a VERY late bedtime Saturday night. In fact, Saturday night's bedtime prompted some events that will be a post of their very own immediately following this one.

Sunday morning, you slept in until 7 a.m.! Yippee! That's what happens when you go to bed at 10:45. But it was a nice morning. After a quick breakfast, we went to church where you were pretty well-behaved. Then we went to Flat Iron for a Mother's Day lunch. OMG, that was an INCREDIBLE lunch. We had beef tenderloin in a merlot reduction, salmon wellington with dill bernaise, seasoned asparagus and carrots, fingerling potatoes and a dessert of raspberry creme brulee. Speaking of dying and going to heaven! Actually, Uncle Chris, Daddy and I had that. Grandma had her favorite meatloaf, and was just as happy. Oddly, you refused to eat even one single bite (besides a tiny piece of bread before the food came). And then cheerios for dinner. It was not a day of culinary delights for you, I'm afraid.

Sunday evening, more relaxing and another 3 hour nap this time for you. Yikes! But it let us get some things done related to the coming entry, so it was worth it. And you were asleep by 9:30 so all was not lost.

All in all, a wonderful and rejuvinating weekend. I hope everyone else had the same!
