 This week we went to the park every morning and swim lessons each afternoon. Mary loved all the time in the pool and I saw huge improvements in her comfort level in the water.  I taught violin on  Monday and Mary started using a night light for the first time. I thought it would keep her awake but she actually has been sleeping really well with it. 

Tuesday I mowed the lawn in anticipation of our trip this weekend. I had hopes of organizing our baby stuff but I will have to get to that when we get back. Wednesday we had the mechanic come and give our car a tune up before the trip. At the pool, Mary was playing and said, “let’s move out!” A line she learned from Buzz in Toy Story. She also likes getting out of bed so I told her we have to wait for the sun to come out to play and each morning since then she wakes up and the first things out of her mouth are “I slept in Mary’s bed!” And “the sun came out!”/“the sun is awake!”

Thursday we went to the exercise class and Mary took a tumble on her bike. It seems like she twisted her knee and ankle pretty good on her left leg but it did not swell or bruise. I took her home and gave her some kids ibuprofen and we watched movies before swim lessons. The pool seemed to help a lot and she was willing to put some weight on it by the evening. 

Friday was a busy day of cleaning and packing for the trip. Paul got home just after lunch and helped me load up the car then we were off to Utah! We got to Wendy’s house late that night. 

Saturday was relaxed. We took Grandma Elaine to breakfast, enjoyed the rainy weather, visited some of our old haunts, and ran errands. In the evening we hung out with Andy and Emily. Mary loved playing outside with Emily and throwing a ball to the dog. 

Sunday we enjoyed lots of time with family. Mary got to play with her cousin, Addie, and they both loved playing with Wendy and Emily. We played games with Grandma Elaine in the afternoon before the rest of Wendy’s kids came over for family dinner.

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...
