Is it mid-April already? Am I really 18 weeks pregnant and almost half way through growing this new little baby? Is Peanut almost in nursery? Did spring break just come and go? Yes! Ahhhhhhh!
I'm sitting here craving Taco Time tater tots, looking at a messy kitchen floor that needs to be mopped, a church lesson that needs to be planned, and paint choices that need to be finalized so we don't miss the Sherwin William's 40% off sale. So instead I decided to blog and eat a piece of toast. Those seemed the most manageable. It's time to sit back and smell the roses a minute and relish all the good things in our life. We are happy!...
We were lucky to have a visit from my parents over Easter week. Desmond loved the attention (he's signaling that he must have food in the picture above), I loved all the adult interaction, and we had a fabulous time seeing even more sites in DC. We've been down there, how many times now, and still haven't seen all of it. This round we toured the Capitol building, the Library of Congress and the White House. Thanks to the preparedness of Dad, to get the tours set up ahead of time, it was a breeze...Other than the part where I left a camera in my pocket at the White House and had to take it all the way back out and go through the security again. Don't do it folks! The secret service are not kind understanding people when on the job. We also tasted one of best hamburger joints on the planet, located on Capitol Hill:
Good Stuff Eatery. Katie herself, labeled it as such, and seeing that she is the family hamburger connoisseur, this is no small proclamation. Oh there is a cook book of all his recipes. You should check it out just for the chipotle mayo sauce. Can you tell I'm pregnant or what?
This was also a big week for Peanut. He progressed to the front facing car seat and his verbosity increased ten-fold. He started trying to repeat near everything that Grandpa said. "WHOA" was his favorite. See the evidence below.
