We've had a busy two weeks! A couple Saturdays ago, we visited Mumum and Pupup. It was great to see them! Mumum is always so cheerful and happy, even though she has no idea who were are. That's how I want to be if I ever have dementia! They had just eaten breakfast so they were a little sleepy while we were there, but Clark's antics helped keep them awake! Here are some pictures from our trip:
Last week I made two trips to Center City Philadelphia to get my violin serviced. Totally worth it! It looks beautiful and sounds even better! A BIG thank you to Mimi who came along to look after Clark in the car. Let's just say Clark made a big liar out of me and behaved like a perfect angel the whole time! I hope it was worth it for Mimi: I treated her to a Chick-fil-a lunch both times. She seemed satisfied with that. Haha Clark and I went to Grandma's for lunch on 8/2, and he was playing so furiously I barely got a picture! As you can see it's all blurry! He loves playing at Grandma's house. :)
These were taken on Thursday night when Josh got home from work. Clark brought him a book right away! He got this book from his Hawaiian friend James. It's called "Down at the Beach."
On Friday night, I went out with the other "mommies" in my small group for a girl's night out. It was so much fun!! We went to Ludwig's Grille. The food was amazing! We ended up staying out for almost five hours! Meanwhile, the "daddies" got together and babysat the kids together. Haha isn't that great? I thought that was so funny. Anyway they had a great time.
On Saturday night we went to our friend Ryan & Tara's house for dinner. We had a wonderful time, but Clark was especially unruly. It was actually kind of embarrassing! He had a pitiful nap that day so he was half hyper, half cranky. I felt really bad, but they were very gracious.
On Tuesday we had lunch at Grandma's again! So much fun! Grandma was in the middle of making applesauce during our visit. She had picked up some apples at a roadside stand for $1.50/bag! They were "seconds" so she's using them for applesauce. I was very inspired!
On Wednesday Clark woke up with terrible bedhead. The kind that made me say, "oh my!" when I saw him in the morning! He was so giggly when he woke up--it's as if he knew he looked silly! Haha what a goof.
"Mommy please don't use this picture in my wedding slideshow!!"
Wednesday night was a big night for me! I co-hosted a surprise baby shower for Kimberly! The other hosts were our friend Jen and Kimberly's mother-in-law. The shower was at Jen's house. We had a wonderful time and we are all so excited to meet Baby Mountz!!
Yay! We surprised her!
Today was spent mostly at Kim's house. :) Mom and I went over to help her set up her nursery (i.e. gush over baby clothes and dream of holding that little one!!!). Clark came along (he's not allowed to stay at home alone yet...what age can they do that, by the way?? :). He was such a good boy! He played nicely until naptime then snoozed for two hours in his packnplay! He woke up with a loud "scared" cry (meaning: "MOMMY!!! I thought I was at home but I'm not!!!!). But smiled right away when I opened the door. I took some pictures of him playing at home today. He is a busy bee! See if you can spot his favorite toy in the pictures...
"Toy Central, USA"
Yes! His favorite toy is his yellow truck that he got from the Yorgeys for his birthday! He makes a beeline for it in the morning and I have to pry it out of his hands before his bath at night!
And to close, here is a video of our new dinner soundtrack. Clark voices his approval loudly! I appreciate the praise, but sometimes all the noise can drive Josh a little crazy...:)
