Our first night out!

John and I had a milestone event Friday when we went out for dinner with the Gaedke's without William. We were a little sad, but we knew he was in great hands with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Mike. We went to a place called the Westfire for dinner and drinks - all in all we were gone about 2 and a half hours. Afterwards, we all came back to the McGarry's to visit and check in with our babysitters. Everything went just fine.

Saturday we celebrated Mother's Day by working in the yard and working on the deck project. It was nice to be outside and William liked using his stroller at the nursery gardens with Grandma. This afternoon, we had to say good bye to Uncle Mike as he was leaving for Maine. His flight is early on Sunday morning, so he was leaving for the cities tonight. Then, we went to eat dinner with Grandpa Heidt and Mike & Tien! We were a little late. We were supposed to meet them at 4:30, but William decided it was a good time for a nap! It was good to catch up with them and hear about William's new cousins to be some more. Only 16 more weeks before they will be ready to come and play! After dinner, we came back home and played some cribbage with Grandma and Grandpa after putting William to bed. John and Grandma won twice and Grandpa and I won once - we had a great time!

William has discovered he loves pop cans. Diet Coke especially (the cans, not the contents)

Someone found my old pair of Mickey Mouse ears...they are still a little big!


Grandpa's big hand - 28 points! WOW!

We are leaving to go back to St Louis today, so I'll write more when we get back home. Happy Mother's Day!
