First Mother's Day

Well, yesterday was my first mother's day. Unfortunately the weather was pretty bad (cold, rainy and windy) so we went to church and then came home. We didn't want to go to the mall because we are trying to be better about our spending, so why tempt ourselves? Then I got the bright idea to put away my winter clothers and pull out the summer ones - I have had enough of this cold spring. And that, of course, took much longer than expected. So, mother's day was pretty uneventful. But I kind of like that- just spending time with my family. We will have plenty of days to have fun outside once the weather is better.

Jude is doing much better with his rice cereal/baby formula mix. He likes it a lot more now that we put a spoonful of fruit baby food in with it. He just amazes us everyday with how much he seems to be growing and learning. He really enjoys reading books now- he looks at the pages and the words and really seems interested. And he continues to squirm around more and more every day. This morning I woke up and he had turned 90 degrees in his crib.

Oh- and if anyone knows someone with NKOTB (New Kids on the Block, for those of you that aren't hip enough) tickets for Chicago that they don't want.... please let me know. The arena sold out in 2 minutes! I thought I was the only one that would actually pay to go see them. :)
