Busy-ness

I've said it before, but THIS is my favorite age for Landon! I know... it's getting laughable because I sound like a broken record whenever I repeat it, but I just adore him more every second. He's awesome. And busy, and an occasional tantrum-thrower. It's all mostly fun.

This week was eventful! My mom and I stopped over at my grandparents' on Monday to bring dinner and dessert to them in celebration of my grandpa's 88th birthday. So nice for us all to live near enough to share important days with each other like that.

Tuesday, my mom and I both happened to win tickets through our work to the Redhawks game, so we went out there together. Landon came with and he loved it! Ate a whole kid's meal (hot dog - cut into teeny pieces of course - chips, and a lemonade. Such a big boy!) Then he and Tony ran around like heck for most of the game. It's nice that Tony is such a willing partner in crime for Landon right now. I'm just getting a little uncomfortable and a lot slower now that I'm in my 3rd trimester.

Box seats.

 Our old neighbors from north Fargo invited us to watch some of the game in their box seats. Totally the way to go!

Tonight the boys had their first parent/child swim class at the new wellness center. It was so sweet! And the facility is amazing. I think they both had a ton of fun and I loved watching them.

My boys before class. Landon was rarin' to get into the pool!

Practicing "kick kick"

The fountains they turned on after class. Might have been the highlight for Landon!

Cleanin' up afterwards. Love the child-height showerhead!

I'm leaving for Seattle before the crack of dawn on Friday. Cannot believe I get to be with my college girls; Blaire, Kat, and Heather for 4 days straight! And that I'm going especially to celebrate the upcoming birth of Blaire's baby, who will basically be twins with my little boy when they arrive in August!

I haven't seen Heather since my wedding nearly 4 years ago - and between the two of us we've had almost 4 kids since then! That leaves some serious catching up to do. I was able to see Kat and Blaire at Miss Blaire's wedding almost 3 years ago, but still - that's a ridiculous amount of time to be away from some of my best girls. I feel crazy-blessed that we've maintained rock-solid friendships all these years without even getting to look at each other when we're talking.

I'm beyond excited but already a little homesick about leaving the boys behind. It will be a whirlwind long weekend, I'm sure, and I will come home rejuvenated and ready to get back to them. Or, I will come back exhausted and in need of a week to sleep off the girls getaway. One or the other!
