Mellow Weekend

We had a great weekend - full of really good food! Mike made restaurant quality food for us this weekend, including stuffed artichoke, chicken kiev, and mashi crum (stuffed cabbage)...yummy yummy! Besides eating all weekend and watching football, we had a lot of good quality time with the kids. This month, Mike is in a challenging rotation during which he is constantly busy and often stays late, so it was really nice to spend some family time together. I also spent the weekend creating an album (on-line) of Sylvie's birth (a year later!), which I can't wait to get in the mail.

Play-doh fun:

This morning, Sylvie and I are hanging out, cleaning, and will go to the library play group like I used to do with Jonathan. Jonathan, by the way, is such a little boy now...has new expressions every day. To him, everything that occurred at some point in the past is "yesterday". If he just washed his hands, he'll say "I already washed my hands, yesterday!". It took us a while to figure this out :) Besides shoes, brushing teeth, and her bracelet (see above pic...thanks Jen!), Sylvie's developed quite a love of books and brings me books to read with her all the time. It's so nostalgic to read to her the same books I used to read with Jonathan.
