Busy Around Town

I just downloaded some pictures from my phone - here are some of the things that have been keeping us busy the last two weeks.

Henry had his first playdate :)

This is sweet little Anna, one of my very dear friends' daughter. She was born just two weeks before Henry, and I hope they will be good friends forever. We met at our other friends' house for a barbecue weekend before last - there were three of us couples and our NINE children, all under the age of five! In fact, other than Sophia, they were all three and under. It was wild, and really fun.

Henry and Anna bonded by laying next to each other, flapping and kicking and grunting.

Then Davis and I had a very long overdue date night - I was SO excited! We haven't been out since before bedrest, in DECEMBER. As I've blogged about before, I firmly believe in dating your spouse. We started off downtown, but got bored after dinner - it was just the same as always. So we ended up in a neighborhood close to our house, and had much more fun at a bar listening to music there.

It's funny, because I said in that dating post that I would try to get a good date night picture - but seriously, for some reason, it's IMPOSSIBLE. Here's what happened when I tried

I need to talk to a teenager about a good technique for holding your camera out and taking a picture of yourself - they seem to have it all figured out LOL!

Now that the weather has gotten warmer, the girls and I have been visiting Sonic Happy Hour a lot.

Ooops, Amelia missed out this trip because she was sleeping

(yes there are FIVE car seats in my truck - that's from the daffodil trip).

My dad came to town earlier this week, and we went down to the Rivermarket to try out some of the new restaurants in there. Unfortunately the ones we tried weren't so great. But it was fun anyway. This was the only picture I got from that trip.

And then yesterday, I took Henry to the pediatrician for his two month check up. He's doing great, and has jumped up to the 50th percentile for weight - unadjusted for the fact that he was born at 36 weeks. Woot! He didn't even seem too upset about his shots. See?

Oh that shirt makes me sad - it's from Babystyle, which went out of business. Those cotton mix and match clothes were what the girls lived in when they were infants! Several of my favorite stores and restaurants have closed in the past couple of years, and it makes me sad. I hope things improve with the economy.

Now I've got to go get caught up on all that laundry I have NO been doing!!
