Wow, what an eventful weekend. I have so much to say, to feel free to stop reading at anytime. I just want to make sure and document these moments so I can remember them as vividly as they happened at the time!
Saturday--- Cary, Winnie, Al and I went to the farmers market in the rain. I filled our basket with collards, dino kale, strawberries, zucchini, and another blueberry scone (which Winnie and Al polished off before I could even get a bite... the sacrifices we mothers make). I thought that trip was almost too healthy, so we balanced it off with some Dounut Drive In (might be my Saturday morning staple) and I shoved down 2 donuts before we were even to Hampton... I know, I felt pretty damn sick.
Mid afternoon Al and I went to Eep's wedding (she looked georgeous, of course) but I barely got to see her as Al is learning all about his voice and proceeded to scream just as she started downw the asile. Luckily they had a cry room that I spent the rest of the wedding in chasing Al around more than watching the ceremony... thats the way it goes these days. We call him an active child. As I walked back into the church to leave, he trew up all down my dress, splattered my right leg and covered my toes through the sandle. Awesome. Did I have a rag you might ask? NOPE. I smelt really good.
We then got in the car and I changed into some running shorts and went to see Becca and baby Luke (they were in town from NC and we have never met eachothers children!) That was fun, but we were in a small hotel room and there were 6 other people there, 4 of which dont have kids yet) and Al is just so active (I mean crazy, but I say active because it makes me feel better). It was so good to see them, but we really got minimal visiting in... I cried on the way home thinking that I was going to turn into one of those mom's who's kids are so out of control that no one wants to be around them anymore! so sad. I am over it now and I love Al for being such an explorer.
The rest of the weekend was more relaxed than Saturday, thank the Lord! We went out to the farm and spent the night on Sunday. Oh! Al took two steps, completely out of nowhere, and really he is not going to walk anytime soon, but it was crazy!
Family moment---tonight Beau and I were laying on the couch together at the farm and Gregg walked up holding Al. He saw us and wanted down on the couch. He quickly crawled over the heaping pillows to get to us and rolled over on his back and layed with us for like 10 minutes!! We have pictures, so I will post them later... I love it. I am banking that memory.
Have a good week everyone!

Al was not out of control! He was just fine. Infact, if you had to pick which child looks more out of control from the picture it is mine. It was really great to see you. I am sure we will be down before next spring/summer but next spring/summer I want to go with you and Al to the zoo in St. Louis!
