A Lengthy Weekend Wrap-Up

The weekend can be summed up into four F nouns.

Fun. Family. Friends. Food.

Friday night- Dinner with college crew at El Loro...yum!

Saturday- Party!!!!

Sunday- Easter Service, Lunch and delicious birthday cake at the condo with all of the Hendersons (except Auntie Laura), and Dinner and delicious fruit pizza at G-ma and G-pa's. I took so many stinkin' cute pictures that I couldn't decide which ones to post, so here are a bunch. I will put all the other ones on our Shutterfly Site.

All in all, today was a lovely Easter and a great birthday. Thanks to all our friends and family who sent birthday wishes my way!!!

An Easter, A Birthday, and A Blog Anniversary!

First off, Happy Easter from our two little bunnies!

Secondly, today marks the beginning of the last year of my 20s...yikes! So I'm going to post one of my favorite pics of me and Cal for the occasion.

And lastly, it was 2 years ago today that we found out we were having a baby! I started the Baby Goose Blog the next day.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

Party!

We went to Nana and Papa's 60th Anniversary Party today! It was so fun- LOTS and LOTS of people! Callie was pretty shy most of the time, which is the newest phase (well...that, along with some pretty ragin' temper tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants!).

All of the 2nd generation cousins were there, so we had to do another couch picture! And it was pretty hilarious. I took about 10 pictures, here are a few that were the best.

Here they are: Zoey, Callie, Liam, Everett, Wakelyn, Seamus
(Jeanne or Simone- did I get the triplets right? I guessed...)

Then, Nana and Papa joined them on the couch!

And here is a cute picture of Callie hanging out outside with Grandma and Auntie Cathleen!

16 Months Old!!!

Happy Earth Day!

Tree

Almost exactly 16 months ago we got a call from our neighbors saying that the city put signs on our block that they were going to be removing the tree in front of our house. On Christmas Eve day. And therefore, we had to move our other car. When we were in the hospital after just having a baby.

I was in la-la land so Chris dealt with the situation. And ultimately I think Dan came over and moved the car for us.

Anyway, today, almost exactly 16 months later, we finally got a new tree.

Just in time for Callie's 2nd Earth Day, I guess.

We woke up to THIS this morning:

Thankfully, it was gone by the time we got home.

Callie seems to be taking after her Auntie Cathleen in terms of handed-ness. I'm not sure when it actually comes to be, but right now she's using her left hand to eat.

And here are a couple of pictures just for fun.

Getting down on the dancing quilt...literally...

Giving me the newly developed "Mom, you're crazy" look.

I'm sure I'll be seeing that look many more times.

Prom

My friend Melissa, who has 6-month-old Teddy, had a prom freak-out a little bit ago. As in, someday Teddy will be going to prom! After dinner on Saturday night, I had the same freak-out.

I forgot to mention on my Weekend Wrap-Up yesterday that we met our friends Josh and Alison at The Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner on Saturday. Which, coincidentally, had what seemed to be 500,000 prom-goers dining at the same time.

Some of the girls' dresses were SO INAPPROPRIATE. Like, unbelievably inappropriate.

Sheer panels in places that shouldn't be sheer. Backs so low that cracks could easily hang out. Cleavage. Dresses with ugly colors and patterns. Girls with dark tans.

I have never been a mother to a teenager, so I guess I can't say too much...but I do know that I will put my foot down if my teenage girl wants any of the dresses that I saw that night. Nor will she be dark tan (hahahahahahahaha...she couldn't even if she TRIED with having the parents she has!).

I guess it just made me freak out at how big she is already getting. Kids growing up is such a funny thing. It is equal parts amazing and heart-breaking.

I guess I'm glad to have seen the skanky prom-girls, because it has been a good reminder to TREASURE all of the little moments. They go by so fast.
