Weekend Recap

Although we try and jam as much fun as possible into every weekend, we wanted to make sure that this weekend was extra awesome.  Benji has his surgery tomorrow, and the busier we were, the less time we had to stress about surgery!

Friday night, Ben had his first non-family member baby-sitter!  One of my friends/co-workers, who just so happens to be a pediatric social worker, came over with her husband to watch Ben.  Judging by the huge, opened-mouth smiles in these pictures, I think it is pretty clear that he had a blast.  Just when I thought he was starting to get sad when I leave... ;)  I am happy he did so well!


While Ben partied, Andy and I went to the residents' graduation.  It was kind of sad!  I've become good friends with some of these docs over the past 3 years, and I am sad to see them go.  It was a nice program though and it was fun to eat and drink with some of my fabulous co-workers.  Despite the fact that the dinner was at the botanical gardens, we only managed to snap this shot in front of the fire extinguisher and the dirty dishes clearer thing.   I was probably ready to get back to my babe by this point.


Saturday we went to the farmer's market and fido fest.  There were probably several hundred dogs there, so naturally, Andy was in heaven.  It was REALLY hot walking around, so we took a break in the shade and watched the dog-jumping-into-the-pool contest.  Ben was more interested in Rosco's stick.  I was more interested in Ben.



And since I can't get enough of this face...

If I smile for your picture, can I take this hat off?
Ok, here is my real smile.
My head is too sweaty to wear this any longer.

After a nice nap, we decided to cool off in the pool.  Baby Fish, or should I say, Baby Shark, LOVES the water.  He smiles the whole time he is in the pool.  He can splash the heck out of the water, but then he gets it in his eyes and he doesn't like that.  We decided not to dunk him today like Auntie Anna did the other day.  Instead, he threw a diving ring into the pool for daddy to retrieve over and over and over again.


While we had big plans of going to the strawberry festival today, the 90+ degree temperature and extreme humidity convinced us otherwise.  Instead, we hung out with our wonderful friend Maggie!  Andy and I always love to catch up with her, and although I didn't get any pictures, Ben was loving his time with her as well.  We ended up chatting for hours before meeting my mom and Uncle Joe for a late lunch.
Uncle Joe let me drink ice water from a big boy cup. 

And since frozen goodness is essentially a requirement on a hot day, we ended our afternoon festivities with some frozen yogurt and a walk to the park.   We came home and played a bit before we gave Benji his "pre-op bath," took about 100 pictures of his tummy, and packed everything up for tomorrow!  Praying that it all goes smoothly.  I am one worried momma over here. :(  Thankfully he is the toughest person I know, seriously!  Love this boy more than life itself!
