 We had roadwork in our neighborhood this week, they re-tarred all the streets and although it was a pain to navigate, it looks great.  Paul felt Katie kick for the first time on Monday.  Tuesday we went to volleyball and came home to a package from Grandma Wendy.  She sent us some really fun books, Mary has been reading her new counting book and duck book all week.

Wednesday we went to the park with the Gochenour's.  We got there a little early and met Vickie and her husband and step-great-grandson at the park.  Mary played with Damian, the grandson, who brought some paddles and a ball.  Mary played with the paddle and ball until Damian and Vickey went home, which makes me really happy because I'm hoping she'll be my future tennis partner.  We stayed for a couple more hours then walked home.  Mary wished we brought the stroller because it was a really hot walk.  We're working on Mary's letters and for the letter U her flashcard had a picture of an umbrella and Mary says "prollella" for umbrella, which is so cute.

Thursday we went to the weekly exercise class.  We got a package from Nana with Mary's dress for James' wedding and lots of gifts for baby Katie.  We had a rainstorm that afternoon and Mary and I played on the trampoline in the rain.  Mary kept saying, "So fun! play in the water!"  

This weekend consisted of yard work, watching the NBA finals (go Mavs!), and watching octopus videos, Mary's favorite animal.  She made up a song about them, "octopus walking, walking. Octopus walking, walking. Octopus eight legs!"  I asked Mary if she wanted to go tickle daddy and she said, "no way! it's too dangerous!"

Mary's ready to go on a walk with her hat and backpack!

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...
