It was a busy, but fun weekend for Mother's Day. K's mom and dad came to visit Saturday morning. They met us at P's soccer game. P was very surprised to see that he was playing against two of his friends from MOPS. When the one little boy scored, P, asked him not to do it again...too funny! He continues to have fun with it, so that's the important thing. K loves to go with her big brother and hang out with the big kids on the bench. M basically sleeps through the whole game.
After the game K and his Dad spent the afternoon fixing our sump pump and hanging new curtain rods and curtains in the living room and our picture window on the stair case. They look great in both spots and now we are in the process of locating new furniture for the living room. Given our track record and indecision in furniture purchases, this could take awhile. At least we are in agreement as to what pieces we are in need of, now it is a matter of deciding on color and style. So, now you know where we will be spending our free time...furniture stores.
Mother's Day dawned chilly and gray, but ended up being sunny and in the 60's by the end of the day. We went to church and then went to brunch with K's mom and dad. The food was good, as was the company. We spent a relaxing afternoon lazing about and playing with the kids. M. has started laughing now and P & K love to try and get her going. M. has been eating more frequently, so much so that I am having a hard time keeping up with her, and she is not happy with what she has been getting either. So, last night at dinner she got to try some rice cereal. She loved it from the start! The other kids were never sure about it at first, but she was all smiles and ate quite a bit. I don't think her little system was used to it though, as she got a little fussy later that night and had to put herself to sleep in the swing. We will try again tonight and see if it helps. I am convinced that a 3 month old that weighs 15 pounds does not need to be getting up twice in the night to eat, so we will continue with the cereal at night in the hopes that she sees fit to sleep, at least until 5:30 or 6am!! Have a great week.
By the way, Kev. is scheduled for back surgery on May 19th. It is an outpatient procedure and should take 30 minutes, according to the doctor. He will be home that afternoon and was told he'd experience a feeling similar to being hit in the back with a baseball bat (nice). He will be on restricted duty for 6 weeks, which means no lifting anything over 20 pounds. Please keep him in your prayers.
