Chicco Umbrella Stroller

I am loving my Alaska Red Chicco Umbrella Stroller (say that three times fast). Eden is sitting up well so I can use it now. It can also recline a little, though. Eden and I went to the mall today and it is so lightweight and maneuvers easily. Can't wait to take it to the beach. Thanks Aunt Becca.

Our yard has come a long way!!

When we first moved in our house there were absolutely no plants. It's amazing what a little foliage and color will do. We've enjoyed having our dragon fly friends around.

Some of Eden's Firsts!

This past weekend!!

Ben and I decided to go out for my birthday on Friday after his parents offered to babysit Eden for us. We went to Dragos (mainly for the charbroiled oysters but ate other things as well) and then went to watch a movie. We had so much fun and were looking forward to going on a date. We love that restaurant not only because of the oysters but their portion sizes are just right. A lot of restaurants serve huge portion sizes. We each had a lobster (it was weird having a whole one on my plate), charbroiled oysters and fried calamari. Then I had my cheesecake (I have one every year for my birthday).

Mother's Day was special. Ben and Eden got me a cute card. The day before, Ben and I went shopping for clothes. I desperately needed new clothes because everything I own is too big for me (don't hate me). Our church had a special Mother's Day lunch planned to raise money for the upcoming missions trip. We stayed for that and had a great time.
