4th of July

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

We went to Stephanie’s house for the 4th to celebrate with some friends from our Friday play date group.  From Left to Right is Keira, Eva, Maya & Liam (Stephanie’s son).  We tried to get a good pic of the babies on the couch, but those never work out…

Maya’s future b-friend?

Mother’s Day part 2

Saturday we had dinner at my mom’s to celebrate Mother’s Day with her and RB.

Mom borrowed this jumper toy from a neighbor which was wonderful because we got to eat our entire meal in peace while Maya played.

Mother’s Day!

Dustin took me to a bed & breakfast in Fort Scott, KS this weekend for my first Mother’s Day. We had a really good time. He had a couple other places he wanted to take us, but they were both 4 hr. drives and after the ride home from Wichita on Friday night (did I mention she screamed the last 30 minutes of the drive, we thought she was going to vomit it was that serious), Maya was not in any shape to be in the car for long on Saturday afternoon…so we decided to go to this b&b that was a little over and hour away.

Maya wanted to swing, but I didn’t feel real sure these old swings could hold my healthy girl.

M loved looking at the fish in the pond with daddy.

M sitting in her big girl high chair at the Mexican restaurant we went to on Saturday night.

Here are some shots of our room. The bed was big and comfy and the headboard was a tree. It was all very interesting. Especially this huge TV that was in the room. It just didn’t really fit in! Some b&b’s we’ve stayed at haven’t had any TVs at all, so this was a surprise.

Not much sleeping happened in this bed…little M woke up SEVERAL times (daddy might say she was up every hour)…she’s done wonderful in the hotel with me in Wichita the last couple times, but for some reason she wasn’t feeling like sleeping at the b&b…I think she is trying to get her top teeth or something, she just keeps waking up crying! over and over and over. Happy Mother’s Day, you will not have a day off for many, many years. (But that’s ok, its all worth it, just a reality, my reality that I wouldn’t change for anything!)….

M loved swinging on the porch swing.

Maya was very good during breakfast on Sunday morning. She sat in an old high chair they had and played with measuring spoons. She loved the sweet lady that ran the place, she has several of her own grandchildren that were running around.

We planned on staying in town Sunday afternoon, but there’s not much to do in Ft. Scott so we decided to head back to town and surprise Grandma Rosie with a visit and some flowers. M was happy to get to see her. Then mommy got a massage (yeah!) and picked up some BBQ and brought home for our dinner..M napped on daddy’s lap the rest of the evening while I cleaned the house (it was a pit from our travels) and watched some TV. All in all, a very nice mother’s day! Thank you Daddy and baby girl!
