Woznation

Busia and Dziadzia came to visit!  Which meant LOTS of toys and attention for a whole week straight!  Seriously – Ive never seen these kids so jazzed up.  And honestly, I dont know how Char and Mark had the energy all week – Phil and I are exhausted by the kids, but Busia and Dziadzia were a constant ball of energy!  We packed a lot into one week.  We went to the garden, an Orioles game, the Zoo, the park, soccer practice.  On top of that – Wil got a brand new strider bike, garden toys, a play grocery cart, new Octonaut stuffed animals, lots of chalk and tons of birthday presents for Evie.  Oh – and practically a whole new wardrobe for the both of them!  Our house is overflowing!  We so thankful from grandparents who spoil their grandkids!  Phil and I were able to sneak a few nights out of the house with our free baby-sitters (including seeing the new X-Men movie down in harbor east – we hadnt seen a movie in the theaters since Fast Six when I was pregnant with Evie).  Busia and Dziadzia soaked up every minute with Wil and Evie and vise versa.  Wil loves doing selfies with Busia and made sure Dziadzia was never without his hat.  We were lucky that their stay overlapped with Evie’s 1st birthday – so we had extra hands on deck to sing happy birthday and eat lots of birthday cake!  We all celebrated that night with dinner out at Bistro Rx. Thanks for a great visit!

Things finally warmed up around here and we have spent as much time as possible outdoors.  Wil’s favorite place to go these days is ‘the rock’.    Its on the north-east corner of the park, which is closest to our house, and it’s probably the biggest rock he has ever seen in his life.  There is a nice shaded area right behind it where we can lay out a blanket and have a nice picnic.  When I get home from work, we like to pack-up some food, the blanket and a ball and head to ‘the rock’.  One day as Phil was driving home, he spotted us there at the traffic light!

Phil and I had a date night at the Os game one night.  It had a rain delay in the 9th inning – but we made it home to watch them win in the bottom of the 9th.  Then the next day we celebrated Mothers Days.  Nothing fancy – another picnic at the rock followed by strawberry shortcakes at home.  Also in May, I got to sneak Btown for a night by myself to celebrate Celia’s Bridal Tea Party.  We had so much fun organizing this and everyone had a great time.  All the bridesmaids were in one place and Celia had lots of guests from near and far.   The next week, Busia and Dziadzia came to stay for a week!  That requires a whole post of its own!
