Another Great Weekend





Lately things have been going (consistently) well! It's the consistency I am so excited about. I had a really great couple of conversations with my mom - just talking about normal mother/daughter stuff, we celebrated my dad's 51st birthday, today a great friend of mine took home her beautiful daughter - Ella and I had another great weekend with my two boys. 

Friday Austin planned a family date. (HUGE brownie points) We went to Central Market's Chocolate Festival and ate plenty of tasty treats. Then we grabbed a pizza. It was a great end to our week. Saturday Cib went to his first birthday party! We had a good time celebrating our sweet friend Nicholas's first birthday. And today Austin and I took Cib for a spin in the new jogging stroller after brunch with friends...um, total slackers and skipped church. I know this all sounds like normal every day stuff....but it was really great to just do normal every day stuff. What a blessing! 

Update on my mom: She is attending outpatient rehab three day a week. I am so proud of her! She is making such strides. The upbeat tone has returned to her voice when she answers the phone. It warms my heart. Despite the constant pain, that we pray will one day subside, she is doing wonderfully well. She is excited to take driver's ed for her new retro fitted van and start getting on the road -- so watch out!

Amen!
And I love these photos - Cib looks like a real toddler -- which is too grown up for me - but these are wonderful photos.
Love to all of you! Forever Granny Nanny
