Wow, all I have to say is that the past week was much needed! It was so nice to be able to spend some time at home with the entire family together. Chris and I both needed some time together, as well as getting to spend time with Evan. (Haha, not to mention getting away from the kids at school!).
Let me think...I've already relaxed so much that I've forgotten what we did each day!...
Saturday: We were able to spend some time with Nick & Alia since we couldn't the week before (Alia had a different Spring Break than us). We went to a consignment store and picked out our awesome table (see earlier post for pictures).
Sunday: I was going to get a haircut (which I never did end up getting), but we ended up going out to eat some amazing wings in the Woodlands with Nick & Alia. Chris and I love being with Nick & Alia, it seems like we could never hang out enough! Evan was so good throughout the entire meal...of course I'd be good to if someone were feeding me small pieces of curly fries! (I sound like a terrible Mom, now!)
Monday-Tuesday: (Mon) Chris went to Men's Bible Study at the church. Normally he can't do it because he also drives back to the church Monday nights for Orchestra rehearsal. When we are finally able to sell our house and move closer to the church, that will work out much better! After that, Chris went to get our truck looked at, and it turned out to need a new u-joint (don't ask me what that is!). They also ended up replacing part of the drive-shaft (again, don't ask me) because they broke it as they were fixing the other part. Long story short, our truck got some much needed lovin' this week for a good deal. (Tues) Chris went to lunch at Nit Noi with Nick, Jonathan, and Chuck (both from orchestra). He was supposed to have a softball game later that night, but ended up hanging out with Evan and I for the rest of the night!
Wednesday: We spent much of this day cleaning, but then My Love took me out on a date later that night! Nick & Alia babysat (they ended up taking Evan to church while Alia sang), while Chris and I went to Saltgrass, and then out to see Taken with Liam Neeson (sooooo sad about his wife-we found out on our way home that night after seeing his movie). The movie is a must-see! Then we went back and hung out with N&A for a while. We talked about all kinds of fun stuff, but lots about the baby (can't wait to meet him!!!).
Thursday-Friday: We were able to spend Thursday night at Chris' brother Bobby's apartment. Bobby's girlfriend Allison made some amazing Chicken Tetrazzini stuff (which was amazing!), and our favorite fresh green beans. I am just getting to know Allison, but she is amazing! I'm glad that Bobby found someone as sweet and awesome as her! (Fri) Then we went back and spent the night at Chris' Mom's apartment. On Friday, we could tell that she and Evan were having a blast together! Mama D had Evan out on the grass, watching the kids across the street play basketball, with a butter bucket on his head for a hat! They were out there for hours just playing and being together; it was great to see them together!
Saturday: We drove to Santa Fe Friday night to visit with my Mom over the weekend. We ended up going to a birthday party for my friend Kari's little boy named CJ; he turned 4 and had a Transformer party. Haha, we actually missed the party because Evan was sleeping, but went afterwards and hung out with Kari and her family and had a blast. There was a moonwalk at the party, and Chris decided to take Evan in and see if he liked it...We'll just say that we will NOT order a moonwalk at any of Evan future parties! The poor baby just clung to us while we were in there!
Sunday: We celebrated my cousin Alex's son's 1st birthday party, as well as my Grandmother's 84th birthday. It was so cute watching him dig into that cupcake and get icing all over himself! Evan soon followed suit by grabbing cake off of my Dad's plate and smashing it right into his own face! He's never had that much sugar before (thanks so much Dad...!) and stayed awake almost 2 hours longer than he should have! The poor baby just crashed when we got back to our house in Spring.
Overall, it was a wonderfully relaxing Spring Break. We weren't ready to go back to work today! I know I wrote a lot above, but I like being able to remember what we did over these holidays; so thanks for bearing with me and reading all the way to the end!
I hope that everyone else who was on Spring Break had a great time. I hope that it was as relaxing as you needed it to be! Back to grind now, but with only 10 weeks of school left! Yeehaw!!!!!!
