Our week in review

This has been a pretty wonderful week. Not for anything extraordinary, but for all of those little moments that make up a special day.

Monday: I was at work, but I was able to go home on my breaks and spend time with Chris and Bailey. It's always fun watching them together, wrestling, cuddling, chatting and loving on each other.

Tuesday: Chris and I were both off work! The three of us went to breakfast at one of our favorite breakfast places and then made a lap around Target to look for some essential things {you know, like wine and new shoes}. We were also able to get together with some friends for an impromptu birthday dinner for our sweet friend Matty. It was pouring rain when we left the restaurant, and it was wonderful to get home and cuddle up together!

Here is Matty's husband, Mark {my co-worker} and her son, Markie {our ring bearer}

Wednesday: I had my first meet up with a fellow blogger! I've been reading Lindsay's blog for awhile now and it was exciting to meet her and her sweet daughter in person. I will admit I was nervous while driving over; kind of like a blind date but you already know so much about the other person and what they look like. Lindsay is so honest on her blog, often times writing about things that have been on my mind but I don't have the courage to post about or can't find the correct words to explain my thoughts/feelings. Go say hi to Lindsay at Lee LaLa and enjoy reading her honest writings about life, love, fashion, parenting, and everything else that's going on!   
            In the afternoon we went on a walk/jog on the path along the river bottom. Towards the end, Bailey kept turning around looking at me through the window of her stroller. I walked beside the stroller for a bit, and she stretched up to hold my hand while we walked. {Melted my heart!}

Oh how I love this smiling face!

Thursday: Bailey and I were supposed to begin our new Mommy and me group this morning, but she slept until 10am!! Holy Mackerel! I'm thankful that she slept so well, but I was disappointed to miss out on our group. Hopefully we will make it next time. I also learned that I shouldn't let her sleep that late because she was a cranky kid most of the day!! So we walked over to the park to play and get some fresh air.
                 Thursday night my co-worker and I gave a presentation to a group from Tri-County GLAD explaining how Deaf and Hard of Hearing people can utilize 911 and how we interact with those people when they're having an emergency. I am so thankful for my Mom and friends Sarah, Jacob, and Robyn {!!!} for teaching me Sign Language when I was younger! I was able to talk to a few people and understand their questions before the interpreter was done voicing their questions to us.  

Friday:  Bailey and I drove up to SLO because she is staying with Nana and Grandpa for the weekend. We had a wonderful drive up (no traffic and clear skies over the ocean) and enjoyed an outdoor lunch with Nana before heading to their house. We played and chatted and enjoyed watching Bailey before I had to head back home. {Here's a little video of Nana and Bailey playing after dinner}

I'm looking forward to seeing my sweet girl tomorrow, but I know she is enjoying her time with her Grandparents.

I love days where nothing big happens, just the normal sweet daily moments occur and I can enjoy them in the moment. I will file these sweet days away and reopen them in the future. Sweet days of "nothings" that really turn into days of "somethings".
