The Big D

we spent a wonderful memorial day weekend back in the Big D with friends and family. it was a jam-packed fun weekend with family parties, a wedding, and my 6th annual "wake girls" weekend all in the mix. most of all, it was a weekend for Brooks to meet and greet in texas - he was a superstar!

1st Mother's Day

we celebrated a wonderful weekend with both nana and mimi visiting.

first, we celebrated Richard's 30th birthday on Friday. we had a wondeful dinner at Solera www.solerarestaurant.com.

then for mother's day, brooks managed to get out an go shopping for a sweet gift for mommy. i don't know where he finds the time! he wanted to give it to me himself, so he was keeping it in his crib and then carried it out to breakfast!
it was a very special 1st mother's day

i just finished book 7 of the Harry Potter series, and i was scared out of my wits one night reading late! i can't believe kids are reading this stuff!

richard walked in on me reading and for a quick second i thought he was Lord Voldemort! YIKES!!!
