Wonderful Weekend!

My parents came in town this weekend for an early birthday celebration. (Here I will note that I am still 28 for another day and a half.) We had the best time! I had been needing some rest and relaxation, so on Saturday morning my mom and I left the boys and headed out. First, out to breakfast for some amazing strawberry pancakes, then a little shopping, and then manicures. I was so refreshed by the time we were done.



Later on, we went over to my Grandmother's house where Pops and Russell enjoyed a few drinks together (excuse the terrible quality - cell phone pic):



And then we all went to dinner at a restaurant that is way too nice for kids to go to. Or for our kid, at least. Russell was actually pretty good, but it takes a lot of work to keep him entertained and fed and interested in staying seated. The next time we go to a nice restaurant we are definitely getting a babysitter.

I don't think I have any other photos of Russell signing, so here he is signing "more":



Me and Jason:

On Sunday, after church and saying goodbye to my parents, we had the M family over for a very small Super Bowl party. Caleb liked Russell's Toy Story truck.

I don't think I've ever seen Russell so hyper in my life. He was laughing hysterically, running all over the house, and being so crazy! It was definitely a sight. He is such a goofball.

Please ignore the bottle in his hands - Jason thought it was hysterical to give Russell a (totally empty) beer bottle. Russell was laughing because everyone else was!

The only problem with this weekend was that it flew by. It really couldn't have been better!
