Spring Break in OKC

We went up to OKC on Wednesday night to visit Matt's family for a few days. David was out of school last week on spring break and given that Matt has been working long hours the past few weeks (but now has a break since his case settled) and that David is not a fan of the backup daycare he has to go to when his school is closed, we thought it would be nice to get away for a few days. We got to visit with family and friends, went to the zoo and Matt and I even got some time away from David to have dinner with friends and see a movie. Here are the pictures:

Surprises in the Mail

Granny D has been sending David cards with little surprises in each one. He really enjoys opening them and, as you can tell, is a huge fan of both tic-tacs and money.



Catching Up

With Matt out of town and work picking up, my blogging has fallen behind. I also seem to forget my camera a lot these days. So, looking at the pictures from the last few weeks, here is just a glimpse of what we have been up to:

Late one evening a few weeks ago, David woke up around 11:30pm, got out of his bed, got his baseball cap off the floor and walked into the kitchen. He opened the pantry, got a bag a chips from the back shelf and then brought them into bathroom to eat. After a few chips, he moved the party to our bedroom where he sat on the scale.  No clue what he was thinking...but it was worth a few pictures...

Matt and I went to charity auction this past weekend and got this cool new train table. David is a big fan. He helped Matt put it together and has been playing with it ever since.

I ordered a piano for David that came in last week. Unfortunately, it was delivered in the wrong color - bright pink. I would not care so much about the pink, but it was also damaged. We let David play with it for the weekend, but it had to go back today. We did have it long enough for Lila, our neighbor who is 6 months older than David, to come over this weekend and have a jam session. How cute is their little band? 

Please ignore the dirty house. It had been a long week and busy weekend and I didn't get around to picking until late Sunday night (see later pictures)..

Matt leaves again tomorrow for the rest of the week, so it is another week of single parenting for me. Wish me luck!!
