23 Weeks

This weekend Chris was in NY visiting his family for Laura's graduation and to give a high five from the future Don Juan to his/her future cousin Chester. Even though I travel away from home quite often, this was the first time for Chris and he was extremely worried. I had to assure him that I would not forget to eat, would remember to lock the doors and would walk the dog. He came home to find that my friend Lacey and I worked a whole day in the yard. After a great breakfast we headed over to the farmer's market and got flowers for the windowboxes and veggies for the backyard. It was a beautiful day. We rewarded ourselves with some very yummy gelato from Big Lorenzos. I think I will be going back there again soon!

The flowers in the windowboxes. Hopefully they will survive!

Brushing Cece--how can she produce this much fur?!

On Saturday night Cece was very loving and rested her head on my tummy. I was upset I was home by myself and couldn't take a picture. When Chris came back this afternoon we tried to reenact it, but Cece obviously does not perform on command as these pictures show.



Chris still got to enjoy some of the beautiful weather when he returned on Sunday. This is the West River Parkway where I took pictures on Easter. No confusion over what season it is in MN! I love the lilac bushes. They are everywhere and smell wonderful.

I'm teaching Don Juan how to climb trees at an early age. Chris had to help me up and down. I don't think I'll be doing this again any time soon, but the tree in the front yard is a great climbing tree.




These are the gnomes Pam and Eddie gave us for Christmas. Aren't they great? Guess whose gnome is the one with the book and whose has the beer? :)

So for all of you out there who felt that 10 days was much too long between blog updates I hope this will satisfy you! Now I'd like to see pictures of Chris's, Laura's and Mom's graduation so all of you get to it or else the next blog will be held ransom.
