A New Adventure: Another Wonderful Weekend!

We had another great weekend. Friday I started my couch to 5K running routine up again and it makes me feel so good all around! Jeffrey and I went to Lainey's apple presentation at her school Friday afternoon. She was spectacular, as always. I could clearly hear every word from her, (which was not the case with the other two presenters!) She loves to speak in front of people and I think this is amazing. Never in my life have I actually enjoyed doing that, (unless I was completely "in character!") She is such a natural. Jeffrey couldn't get enough of her homemade applesauce!

By the way, we also got to go to Lainey and Bo's school on Wednesday to see both of them in a wonderful art showcase. They each studied a famous artist and replicated a piece of work by that artist. We also went to my school this past week for a couple of hours and had a good visit. I absolutely LOVE and MISS my secretary, Dinah, whom I ate lunch with every day. She saw us coming and met us at the door. She is such an inspiration to me. She is such a patient, positive person through all the circumstances that have come her way. We had a good visit with one of my favorite third grade teachers and it reassured me that I am where I need to be right now. Everyone loved seeing Jeffrey and I could feel their love for me as well. Lots of changes there.

     Saturday morning, we went to the neighborhood park and fed the ducks on the lake and swung on the swings. Brant was walking Lacey. Jeffrey and I were behind them with the stroller for a lot of the walk. At one point when they passed us, Jeffrey yelled, "Da-da!," like he wanted them to come back with us. It was his first VERY clear Da-da! He's said it several times since. Yay! So now, Mama and Dada are his first official words!
     Saturday afternoon, we decided to go eat the best hamburger in Texas, according to Texas Country Reporter. This place is listed as being in Fredericksburg, but it is truly in the middle of nowhere. Their site says they are "inconveniently located between Comfort and Fredericksburg." That was a perfect description. We thought we had surely passed it several times! It's called Alamo Springs Café. It was a nice hill country afternoon getaway.
     Today, we went to church and Jeffrey went to the nursery for the first time. He was so happy and didn't cry at all. I was nervous, but he did so well. I am SO proud of him and he seemed to be proud of himself! After church, Mom came with us to BJs for lunch. I had my first pizza in a long, long time, (because of the no dairy diet.) SOOOO GOOD! I am so thankful for our little family (AND proud to be a Baylor Bear!!!)
