Gma & Gpa Visit

Our week with my parents, Gma and Gpa, ended way too quickly for all of us. Mason had so much fun with them and giving them hugs and love and showing off his walking skills. We enjoyed trying new things, chocolate bowels made using balloons and cleaning up said chocolate when balloon decides to pop while the chocolate is still melted and splatters all over my kitchen, and eating lots and lots of yummy food!

~I have proof that Mace was born to play the piano. So when he is 14 and says that he is awful and can't play the piano I have proof otherwise.~

Mason has such a rigid schedule, by his own design, that most of the eating out we did was in the early afternoon. We had fun hanging around the house watching movies and Matt and I went on our first date alone in over a year. I know that sounds like a long time, but remember Matt was gone for the last year. We went to downtown C-ville and ate some yummy gelato and pizza by the slice and enjoyed the Avengers in the theater. We are going to try and have a date at least once a month without the kid. Now to find a babysitter.

Matt returned back to his civilian job this past Monday. And Thursday was my first day alone with Mace since before Matt was home. I am out of practice apparently because I have been worn out by the end of the day. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to be able to stay home with Mace all day and support Matt in his jobs! Yes jobs, Matt is going to be doing military on the weekends for the next few months to make up for the months of drill he missed while he was on active duty. Things have been good though! I love being a mom and watching Mason grow. He is getting more and more confident with walking everyday and will be walking in his own due time. We are getting our new couches next week, YEA!!!!! So I look forward for their arrival. We are donating these huge blue ones to a needy family. Giving them a little Christmas early and so they don't have to sit on just the floor anymore.

~Daddy and Mace chillin' watching cartoons! Soon we say good-bye to these blue monsters.~
