Dinner with Robin, Marie, and Daddy at a new Indian restaurant.

We hadn't actually had Indian food since moving to Fresno... tonight we remedies that. It was.. ok. not as good as I remember it being. Not sure if that is the fault of the place or my changing tastes. Either way, the company was good and despite the fact that I felt like a cow next to the other two ladies, it was a nice evening.

While in the restroom I overheard a mom dealing with her two kids, probably around age 3 and 5. Their chatter was adorable... to me. The mom seemed a bit at the end of her rope. Something to look forward to I guess!

Piper looking super cool and fashion forward.

Cynthia and I had lunch today and she was so sweet and well behaved! Partly because seh slept most of the time :)

I wonder if I will be able to take you out places and feel as confident as Cynthia does.  I hope so.

Since it is after Memorial Day... it is time to change the sheets to regular (from flannel) and to change the bed spread to a lighter one.

Yep, it is getting warmer and warmer! Summer is pretty much here and I am already starting to rely pretty heavily on the ceiling fans and the occasional use of the AC.

And I know it is just going to get hotter.

oh boy.

Daddy likes to go out and take photos.. and I like tagging along.

Sometimes I take photos too... and sometimes I take photos I really like. Like this one.

See that baby bump? That's you!

We hung out at a park for part of the day, I'm still a teeny bit wobbly from being sick, but doing  lots and lots better... and Daddy didn't get sick at all which was a relief.

Sadly, we didn't get to have a Memorial Day party or BBQ, but that's ok. It was a lot of fun just relaxing actually and enjoying the sunshine.

The May issue of Parenting had an article about raising an optimistic child.

In related news, your May book from mom and dad was purchased today... it is all about a giant squid who is super pleased with himself for being bigger than other creatures. "Hey turtles," he calls out, "I'm bigger than you!"

He is so pleased with himself that he doesn't see the whale that comes along and eats him.

(seriously)

Floating in the whale, he sees the turtles (and all the other creatures that he had been bragging to earlier). Not to be deterred, he readjusts his perspective and shouts, "I'm the biggest thing in the whale!"

Classic!

I laughed so hard at the store that I had to sit down.

I can't wait to read this to you... I know just the funny voice to use!

Yep, you are either going to grow up a bit warped or super well adjusted. Maybe a bit of both.

So after that exciting game night... I got sick.

Really sick.

Violent sort of vomit and otherwise voiding sort of sick.

I spent the entire night being this level of horrible sick.... and trying not to freak out because of course throwing up like this does NOT keep one's pulse down to acceptable ranges.

Anyway, imagine my amusement when I read the above notice as part of my weekly update on the pregnancy.

It seems you can now feel movement... and boy howdy did you pick the right night to feel it! I wonder if you are going to grow up to love roller coasters and twisty roads... if so, I am going to blame it all on last night and today's epic bout of food poisoning or flu or whatever it is.

Game night!

Again!

Yeah, we do a lot of this...

Ahem, 

This particular game night we played Taboo against Evan and Allison.  

Baby, just so you know, your mom is a Taboo Rockstar!

Your Dad isn't bad either... but your mom... yeah, all kinds of special skills going on over here.

This photo was candid, but I like to think of it as the moment when they realized I was unbeatable and admitted that I was Queen Supreme of Taboo! Or maybe we were just talking about something more serious. Either way, it was a great night.
