ok, so it’s been a bit since I last wrote. Lots has gone on since my last post, which unfortunately has held me back from writing. Boo! But that’s ok, lots of fun has gone on!
My baby boy just turned ONE on the 14th! I can’t believe it. My 7lb 5oz newborn is now a walking, talking, giggling toddler. He’s such a joy and the best gift in the world.
His birthday party was at our local beach, on his perfectly sunny, warm birthday. The day’s weather perfectly reflected his cute personality. Minus a little family glitch, the day went off without a hitch!
On friday the 19th, I was able to throw my first-ever surprise party for my husband, M, who is the,hardest.person.to.surprise. ever. We had our closest friends and family there to celebrate his 35th (!) birthday. It was a fun night at our home.
The next day after Mike’s class we headed to Tahoe for a fun baby-filled weekend! I’m a part of a online board of mamas who had their babies in March of last year. A few of us get together fairly regularly and decided to get together for a weekend in Tahoe. It was a blast! I was able to meet Sheryl for the first time, who lives in Texas with her husband and her son Jack. (Jack was just recently been diagnosed Tuberous Sclerosis, in which the little guy suffers from daily seizures and has 3 tumors in his heart. We are raising money for testing and support here, for him and others with this condition, if you want to help out!) I also met Kelli and Jim for the first time who have 3 kids, each equally adorable and fun! They are awesome people and I am so glad to have met them. By the end of the trip, I was attacked by her kids who wanted to kiss me-I guess I made an impression!
So, all in all, it was a fun weekend away and I can’t wait for the next one!
But…now both Jack and I have colds. Boo! I’m dizzy and light headed and he’s got a cough and a runny nose. Man, can’t they figure out how to make baby Day-Quil yet? My poor kid could use a decongestant big time. I have been slacking on my workouts with all the busy times. I did well the week up to J and M’s birthdays, but this week hasn’t been great. I went to an awesome strength training class on Wednesday but I dont even think I can leave the house today. I want so badly to go outside, especially since it’s supposed to rain all next week. Oh, well. You can’t win ‘em all!
Well, I need to try to give my kiddo a nap. He doesnt nap well when he’s sick, so we’ll see how it goes. Until next time!
Adorable pix of the little guy, and great blog. Thanks for being so inspiring, Sarah!
