the weekend

what a fun weekend. todd and i threw in the towel to yard work and house work and spent the weekend together. not that we aren't always together on the weekend - but this was more of a purposeful together. we even watched a movie together. it was really nice. on saturday we went to greenfield lake where we walked part of the 5 mile trail (i didn't think this mama could handle 5 miles with a stroller and heat) ;) on our way, we made friends with an older fella fishing on one of the bridges. he actually caught something....while an alligator watched about 30 feet away. it gave me the willies just looking at that beast. i have a healthy fear of the water and the creatures that chomp beneath. ...people were out and about - kids playing on the playground, raccoons running up trees and stopping to stare (ok, they're pretty creepy looking), people walking their dogs and really cute little puppies and some people walking their kids.

then on sunday we got up and went to church and then came home and napped - aaah naps. and to finish up the day, we went to flaming amy's for a mother's day treat. yum - who can pass up ginormous burritos and chips?! loralai was a champ. she hung out and smiled and did her sweet little baby thing while we ate and went about our day. man, we really are so blessed. she is such a good baby. when we got home, we realized that we hadn't taken any pictures of loralai with me on mother's day - so, we got her in her diaper while we were changing her into her jammies. then, of course, todd and loralai had to have a little down time on his favorite spot- the hammock.

a good weekend. a sweet husband. a sweet baby. life is doing alright around here.
