Just another sunday

Since my last posting, my brother and Taya had a beautiful baby boy, Theo Denis. We can't wait to meet him in person in July when we travel to the west coast. Click on the above link to follow my brother's blog about parenthood. We've been skyping with Paul, Taya and Theo about every other day and it's interesting to see parenthood through their eyes.

This weekend we were busy around the house. We (I) planted flowering bushes, we for Mother's day. The girls stayed out of the way for the most part and played nicely in the sandbox, although Claire did help with the watering. They both needed baths afterward. And in the afternoon, Claire helped water most of the bushes in the front yard. She is such a good kid.

This Sunday marked the start of something new for Claire and me, as we are going to have breakfast together (just the two of us) every weekend - or at least try to. Mom had Claire in a dress and I took her to IHOP. She was the best dressed in the whole restaurant. And I had a coupon. After discussing the weather and current events in the middle east, we got down to brass tacks, what we were we going to do after our nap this afternoon.

Turns out we didn't do too much as someone (not me) slept until 4pm. Oh well, there is always next weekend. Until then, here are a few photos from this weekend.
