April 24 - 30 2023

 Monday we went to the trampoline park with Irina and Alexander. We ran into Julia and Nica there too. The kids had fun playing together and Julia gave Mary an applesauce and she loved it. Tuesday we were going to go to the library with Irina and Alexander, but Irina wasn't feeling well and didn't make it. We still went but Mary wasn't interested in the stories. She would wander back from the kid area when they would sing a song she knew between books. We met Lisa and Treea during stay-and-play. Treea is a couple of months older than Mary and Lisa is from the Midwest but has lived here with her husband for 12 years. They are local farmers, which is really cool. 

Happy anniversary to Nathanael and Whitney on Wednesday! It was a hot, beautiful day so Mary and I went to the pool. I got her all decked out in her pool stuff and got her in but she was not happy. She was really freaked out by the water; it didn't help that it was pretty cold. So, she snuggled with me for about 5 minutes then played around the pool with her beach ball. She would throw it in the water and put her hands on her face and say, "Oh no!" and I would grab it for her. 

Thursday we were outside in the sun all day. We went to the park with Irina and Alexander in the morning then went to the pool in the afternoon. Mary was more into it and had fun but got pretty cold. Friday, we went to the pool again and Mary was fully excited about it. She was jumping into the water, into my arms, she was kicking her legs and would lean forward, she even didn't mind when her face got wet. 

Happy anniversary to Andrew and Sierra on Saturday! We went for a hike as a family and watched lots of basketball. Happy birthday to my sister Bethany on Sunday. We're happy the Warriors are making it to the next round of the playoffs. Mary has loved watching basketball and she will cheer and clap with her dad when our team is doing well. She also loves listening to rock and roll and dances to it when we put it on. Her new words for this week are duck, hurray, and down.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
