So much has changed, most of you probably already know from word or mouth or Facebook, so I'll spare you the long drawn out story and skip straight to current events. :D
Mother's Day weekend consisted of my mom and Ricky, and Blake joining us on "the farm" for some fun. Saturday we grilled out hamburgers by the pond, rode 4-wheelers, rode the paddle boat, and just relaxed. We had a lot of fun just relaxing and listening to music and eating some good grub.
Damari went to check on our puddle of tadpoles (We have a spot where the pond overflows that frogs laid thousands of eggs a few months ago. We have enjoyed watching the process. They are now fairly big tadpoles, we expect to see their leg buds any day now.). While Damari was looking at them, he fell in the mud. I'll admit, I'm a horrible parent, I laughed at him. Nonna was closest and she wiped his face off (while laughing). I knew he was okay and the look on his face was priceless.
We concluded the night with a firework show by Ricky and Blake. We celebrated Mother's Day like the 4th of July. I guess we'll have to celebrate Christmas on the Fourth. ;)
Sunday we went to church and grilled out again, we had chicken and zucchini. It was yummy. Josh offered to take us out, but we opted for a more relaxing atmosphere at home. It was sad to see my family go, but I know they will be back for more fun on "the farm" soon enough.
Sunday evening, Josh and I went to the homeless shelter to serve some food with our church. We decided that since we don't really have a baby-sitter (and the fact that it was Mother's Day and I wanted to be with my baby) to bring Damari with us. I was kind of nervous at first, but several of our close friends and other Sunday School members were there to help with him. I'll admit, I believe he was a blessing. At first we just greeted everyone as they came in, but then Damari wanted to be with Daddy and ended up taking over his job. He would grab "agua" (water bottles) from the cooler and hand them to people. The smile on his face melted my heart. He loved helping/serving the people and I couldn't have been prouder. Here is a picture of us after serving everyone right before going home. I had to get a family picture of our first time serving all together.
I hope everyone else had as much fun on Mother's Day and got to share it with their loved ones!
