Whirlwind weekend

The weekend was pretty busy filled with work, weddings, playing, and driving. I left for the Bay area on Wednesday. Steve was Mr. Mom for the week. I had a team mtg in San Jose. It was long and tiring but it went well. I was the MC of the mtg so it took a lot out of me. Steve had parent teach conferences at night on Thursday so his parents came into town to watch Gavin for us on Thursday night. They were on their was down to the desert for the winter so it was a nice pitstop. By Friday, I was beat.

Steve was planning to come up Friday night, but due to some "family planning issues", he had to come up Friday morning instead. It was nice to see the fam and Gavin and Coleson got to play a little earlier. Gavin hardly noticed cousin Keaton but we had fun remembering what it was like to hold a newborn. She eats, poops, sleeps like clockwork. She is a good little baby and loves the ergo baby carrier. I hardly heard her through the night so I would say that is a huge step given her brother wakes me up more than she does.

Friday night we all hung out and got our favorite NY style pizza. The boys loved playing with trains, and blocks and watching a little tv. They got along well. There was minimal hitting or yelling. They loved building a tunnel of pillows and jumping on the sofa in the living room. On Saturday we went downtown in the morning so Nik could sleep and watched the marching band parade. It was fun to see that times have changed and there are now guy flag girls in matching little flashy outfits. The boys like marching down the street like the band.

Saturday afternoon we had a shower for Nikki over at Becky's house and the fam and friends came. She got some good loot and clothes for Keaton. Food was yummy and the cupcakes were huge. Saturday night we got all dressed up for Uncle David's wedding. We got a babysitter and the boys did great with her. We were a little late to the wedding but didn' t miss the wedding-phew. Just in time. Kristin and Taylor looked really nice and Uncle David looked really happy. The venue was great and the wine cellar was decorated nicely. I now have another Aunt Peggy. Her dress was pretty and she looked like she was having a great time. Kristin gave a great toast and Uncle Tim did too. We had fun being out without kids and drinking wine. Nik had to go home early for Keaton but Steve and I were the delinquent parents and stayed out to dance a little more. We boogied a lot with all the fam and I am sure there are some scary pictures. We got a ride home from Larisa and Chad. Gavin stayed up til 10pm! We were in bed by 10:30- PAR-TAY! haha.

The weekend ended with us chilling on Sunday and having the fam over for a little bit. We had to hit the road so we didn't stay long. The drive home was quick and easy. Gavin slept most of the way home. It makes for a hectic week when you have been gone.... laundry, grocery, house stuff piles up. But you can only do so much each day. Who cares if there is stuff in the floor. I'd rather have a half hour to watch Desperate Housewives or play on my new Ipod. Ya need a little chill time now and then.

Pictures to follow once I get them on the computer. There is too much to do right now...maybe next week :)
