8/30 – 9/5: Laboring in Lexington

on September 12, 2010

 Thanks for the lift, Grandpa!

I woke up with Julie and we went off to cooking class where I had my first cooking class where we made something (pasta ala norma) that I didn’t like.  Aunt Claire made my lunch and Nana was here when I woke up.  I pretty much saw everyone except Dad today!

Mom took Tuesday off, so I got to spend some quality time with her until she left at 9:00 and A/C took over.  Julie made my launch and played with me when I got up.  Mom got back home earlier than usual (around 4:30) and so we cooked a really yummy dinner together.

On Wednesday, I was psyche dto spend all day with Claire.  We went to cooking class and I loved the pear adn blue cheese bruscheta that we made.  I even shared the leftovers with our friend Lisa at Starbucks!  In the afternoon, A/C and I had a video chat with Henry and Audrey in Boston!  Julie came over for a couple hours around dinner so that A/C could get a break and get some work done.

I spent all day Thursday with Julie, but for the first time in a while, the weather was yucky!  It was raining all day and I felt a bit of cabin fever. Julie and I went to Dominick’s and we baked a cake together.  That was a fun result of a rainy day.

Julie was here when I got up on Friday and played with me until Mom, A/C, and I hopped in the car and headed out to Aunt Sarah’s house in Lexington.  Just as we were stuck in a traffic jam in northern Indiana, I announced that I had to go poop!  That resulted in a visit to a sketchy truck stop bathroom.  Yuck!

We had dinner at Panera, and met up with Luke just outside of Louisville.  When we got back on the road I fell right asleep and slept until we got to Sarah’s at 10:30 and I didn’t even wake up with Mom carried me into my pack and play.

Saturday was so fun!  We went apple picking, which ended up also including a visit to a really fun farm and playground.


 

When we got back home we had leftovers for lunch and then a really nice nap.  I got a bruise on my face when I tripped and hit my cheek on the coffee table — just in time for family pictures tomorrow!

I then got to make sushi with Aunt Sarah; I really liked my mango roll!

On Sunday I got up early and ate a yummy breakfast.  Dad went with Mom to the hospital while I stayed home and played with everyone.  We then headed out to the UK Arboretum for a family photo shoot.  I think I was in almost all the pictures!

After the photographer (and Dad!) took over 1,000 pictures we were pooped and headed out to Joe Bologna’s for dinner.  It was delicious — I ate three of Daddy’s meatballs!  On the way home, we stopped by Coldstone Creamery for dinner and then played at a really awesome park near Aunt Sarah’s house.

Last year I counted to ten!

Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
