Grrrr...Paper Towel Monster!!






Reunion Weekend!

I'm a tad late in posting this. To be honest, my pictures suck because my camera spent the majority of the weekend at the bottom of my bag.
This past weekend we met up with most of our travel group for some fun in the city. It was really great seeing everyone again-Gosh, it's amazing how fast all of the kids have grown!
We started out the weekend at an indoor water park-it was nuts! Nora loved it-she really loves the water and I can't believe she made it as long as she did without a nap.
Sunday we all met up at The Ethiopian Diamond for some brunch-Yum! Then we headed down to the zoo to spend the afternoon. It was a beautiful day and we were sad to have to say goodbye to everyone :(
WeI decided to stay downtown for a little longer (again, amazing that Tiny hung on this long) and grab some dinner. We decided on Demera-I mean really, how can you not have Ethiopian food twice in one day :)

It was a great weekend-here are my 7 lame-o photos...enjoy!

She's so.........alert.

Twice in one day someone said this to me about Tiny.

Both instances occurred while waiting in line, both times the words were uttered by older women.

What the heck?

Yes, dear older woman in line at Borders and yes, dear older woman in line at PetSmart I understand that you were probably shocked when you realized that my child didn't "match" me but couldn't you just say "She's so cute, beautiful, whatever" instead of "She's so (long uncomfortable pause) alert"?

It just sounds weird.

My 1st Mother's Day...as a MOM!

It was wonderful, despite the blustery fall-like winds and cold rain :)

Ryan had some grand plans for the big day but they were tossed out do to the horrendous weather :( We ended up at Brookfield Zoo running from one indoor attraction to the next. It was nice to spend the day together as a family and Tiny really enjoyed the animals, especially the big cats. She spent the whole afternoon saying "meow, meow" :)

My perfect day ended with Ryan making my favorite dinner: meatloaf, mashed potatoes & green beans :)



Ryan also planted 2 lillies in our yard- one for me and one for Tiny's Emaye :)
