Beautiful places and beautiful faces

On Tuesday and Wednesday we went fishing for the first time as a family of three.  These pictures are from Tuesday and I'll do another post for Wednesday's adventure.  So, we went to a lake in this foresty area to try to catch fish.  Not very good in the fishing department, but great in the scenery department.  The trees were almost neon green, and very dense that it almost felt like we were under water with tons of tall seaweed around.

We had so much fun checking out this amazing spot.  It has been amazing having Arty around to do fun things with this week!

Dear Mom,

Thanks for all that you have done and continue to do for me!  When I was a little girl for mother's day  I would draw you a swirly picture or write a big I LOVE YOU with crayons on a piece of notebook paper, stuff it in a envelope, and proudly give it to you.  You loved my artwork and letters and treated them like treasures.  Now, this year as I hold my own son in my arms I finally understand why you loved those handmade gifts.  I am so excited to get notes and pictures from him one day.  I love you mom.  You have tought me so much and encouraged me as a new mom.  I am so thankful for you.

I love you always,

Megan

A couple funny things from today

So today I wanted to go on a run with Sully in the jogging stroller.  I got him all situated with a blanket and his "sofie" the giraffe toy.  Then I ran and he fell asleep.  When we got back home I took him out and didnt see the giraffe ANYWHERE.  My heart sank because that's not a cheap toy to just drop somewhere in a ditch.  I understand that may be an exaggeration but still, he loves the toy.  For about a minute I came to terms with it being gone but then I quickly decided that we were going to hop in the car and FIND THAT TOY.  I drove along the road and didn't see it until I came to a red light and then BOOM there it was laying in the middle of the sidewalk along a busy road.  I had no place to turn into to get it, I watched a lady jog past it and I was honestly worried she might steal it.  I finally parked and ran through muddy grass with Sully on my hip to get the toy.  I was very happy with myself.  After a good scrubbing "Sofie" is as good as new.  

The other funny thing happened at Starbucks.  I was waiting for my drink to be made with Sully in my arms and I felt the telltale warm liquid run down my arm.  I grabbed a napkin and wiped my arm and Sully's mouth.   I got my drink and then sat with my husband for a little bit while he was studying.  As I walked out I noticed a  familiar white chunky liquid on one of the arm chairs (fabric one).  Turns out that small spit up I had wiped off me was actually much larger and left a small pile of spit up on the chair.  I felt bad for not cleaning it up sooner.

What we've been up to:

Saturday I decided to take Sullivan to Ikea.  Its an hour and a half away but I packed us up and we headed out to be there when it opened.  Sully napped the whole way there.  Once we got there I put him in his stroller and stuffed the Ergo carrier in the basket below just in case he wanted out.  Well, he had a few major screaming spells.  I just bounced and walked with him and nothing seemed to calm him down.  I think he probably just wanted to play on the floor and not be strapped in to anything.  It was a huge scene, and of course as I checkout he totally calms down and falls asleep.  Sooo we went to H & M and I got three shirts and two dresses on sale.

Sunday we went to church and just hung out.  I have been loving Pinterest.  I don't know if my explanation will do it justice but its a website where people can post their "pins" or basically bookmarks of things they find and like online.  It's an amazing resource of ideas and inspiration.  I am literally exploding with ideas on the DIY section.  Go check it out if you haven't already.

Sullivan has been rolling everywhere.  It's truly amazing how mobile he is.  He especially loves paper products.  So we have to keep those things up and out of his way or he will inevitably find them and put them in his mouth.

He's started banging on things with both hands in unison.  Its really adorable.  And he also has started being more interested in books, which is fun!

Arty, my husband is taking finals all week so he is studying TONS.  Then he get's one week off before starting again.  

Here are some sweet pictures of the little man today.
