I’m finally getting around to posting about last weekend. We had such a good time! On Friday, after Matt got home from work, we headed out to the MHCC Aquatic Center where we introduced Ella to swimming. The cost was pretty ridiculous (we were there for about 45 minutes; Matt and I each cost $4.25 and Ella was $3.50… I mean, seriously, do they think they are the zoo or six flags or what?) but we were glad to give Ella this experience. We had gotten her a baby flotation device that had a net seat connected to a tube with net connecting it to an outer tube so that she could splash in the water w/o trying to climb out. We spun her around and dragged her around the pool in it. Then we pulled her out and took turns holding her just above the water so that she could ‘swim.’ She had such a good time! She slept all night long and woke up with a tooth (haven’t quite got a picture of it yet, but be on the lookout)!
On Saturday we worked really hard in the yard. Including mowing the lawn with our new lawn mower! In the afternoon, we walked to a nearby park and pushed Ella in the swing for the first time (yes, that was three firsts this weekend).
For dinner on Mother’s Day, we went over to my Mom’s and had Fettuccine. What a great weekend!
No matter how long we are married, we hope to always remain newlyweds. We started this blog to keep a record of the funny and exciting things that happen in our lives. We hope that you enjoy it and look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Such cute pictures! She looks darling in her swim suit and you all look like you are having a blast! Sounds like a perfect weekend—a little work, a little fun and time spent with family. A wonderful first Mother’s Day!
