A week in review...

Whoa...I haven't really ever experienced being home all day and having so little time to get anything done. I am sure all of those moms out there are secretly laughing! I have barely had time to shower let along blog, email or return calls but hopefully this week Maya and I will turn the corner. In all honesty things are going really well, we are just in the eating most all of the time phase which really takes up a lot of the day. So I first would like to apologize for not returning calls and emails, but promise that it will improve over the next few weeks. Second, I wanted to give everyone a quick update. Here is one of my favorite picture of Maya and cousin Brad.

Where to start? Last Saturday Tory & Dave were married which was fabulous. Here are a few pictures. I of course took my camera but it didn't make it out of the diaper bag (typical!) But thankfully the bride sent out a few pics that I can share. Tory was easily one of the most elegantly beautiful brides ever. The whole evening was perfect...as expected Tory cried a lot, but she one of those lucky people who still look pretty while crying. My friend Chris & I decided that the best part of the reception was the enormous chocolate fountain! It really doesn't matter how old I am, inside I still love all things Willy Wonka.

Last week Ty's mom came to visit from Wednesday night and left this morning. It was great having her here although I felt a little guilty because she spent most of her time working in the yard, cooking, and doing our laundry. She got some great cuddle time in with Maya.

My Mom, Sister, and Aunt Susan threw a meet the baby shower for Maya & I. It was wonderful, they invited family and a few close family friends so that it wasn't too overwhelming for Maya (okay maybe her extremely paranoid mom!) We sat in my parent's front yard and talked for hours...mainly laughing at Joann, my bf Jenni's mom. It definitely reminded me of the great parts of coming from a small town, and some of the other parts like the mud covered trucks that look like over sized toys driving by yelling stuff out the windows. Classy!

Last night we headed out to take Chris (Ty's mom) to dinner at our favorite hole in the wall BBQ place in Dundee (Huckabee's BBQ). It was a nice way to end a fairly crazy week. Today we are relaxing, big time...I decided at 2 pm that I should change out of my PJ's so I upgraded to workout clothes...it is a step up right?

Oh...My dad's birthday was on the 6th. He turned the big 50 and celebrated by heading to the Ducks game with all of the guys in the family. Ty could go because he had to work, but he was there in spirit.
