THURSDAY: Just another day at work, but one of our regular subs took a recess pic of some of us at recess. At least, I'm pretty sure this was Thursday but I could be wrong. Regardless, we love to chill and enjoy recess like the kiddos and catch up on life. Love working with these ladies!
We had one of our famous team birthday lunches that day. I really should have gotten a picture of our spread. When I got home, I decided to do my grocery shopping so I would be prepared for the weekend and wouldn't have to go on Saturday.
FRIDAY: After a day at work, I left and quickly went home so Mr. B and I could clean up the house before grabbing dinner and painting at our favorite art studio, Art in the Vine. We ate at Fuzzy's Tacos where we each had a taco and shared a plate of beef fajita nachos.
Here is what was left before Mr. B said: "Man, I sure hate to waste that!" Then he gets a fork and continues to clean the plate.
We did a dragon painting that Mr. B has been wanting to do for a long time now. I usually choose our paintings, but I knew this was something that he really wanted to do. I think we will put it in our laundry room since it really doesn't mesh with any of our other "decor." I mean, where do you put dragons??? Of course we took a selfie to document our date night.
While on date night, my sister send me this text message that makes us anxious to get home afterwards.
We got home and immediately went straight for baby Jude. Here our the pics we took upon first meeting lil' Jude the Dude!
Mr. B and I wanted the "mommy and daddy" experience this weekend. We decided to keep baby Jude in our room and take care of him. He was so good at night. We'd feed him around 11:00 and put him down around midnight. He'd sleep till 5:00 then we'd change him and feed him. We would rock him until he fell back asleep with us until we had to wake up again. I had a stroke of genius when I decided to bring in 2 dining chairs to lay his bassinet on next to our bed. I was in such mommy mode the first night because I woke up every hour to check to see if he was still breathing.
My favorite pic is the 5am snuggles pic of the three of us:
SATURDAY: I had to get up early to take my sister to UTA so she could take a certification test for her job. I made her buy me brunch afterwards for payment. While she was taking her test, my mom and I took Jude the Dude to Walmart. I had to sneak a couple of pics of him sleeping while we shopped. There were lots of cute faces I tried to capture, but every time I got my camera ready he would change his face.
When my sister was done, we picked up my dad and had brunch at a little cafe near our house. We went to a few other places before going home and taking a nap. I slept in my bed, and when I woke up I saw this:
Clearly, the couch was a good buy!
That night we did burgers and cupcakes for my little sister's 19th bday. Here's a couple of pics of us hanging out on our patio and enjoying the nice weather before the storm rolled in.
We got to see my baby sister get engaged while she was here. So sweet to watch something like that happen. Mr. B and I were honored when my sister and her fiance asked us to be baby Jude's godparents. We can't wait to shower this sweet boy with love in the years to come.
SUNDAY: Check out this sweet sleeping baby on Sunday morning
Since everyone was dressed up for church, we took the opportunity to take lots of pictures with one another. So here's an onslaught of pics of my sweet family!!! First, everyone had to get the individual pics with lil dude:
Poor Mr. B didn't take a Sunday pic with lil' dude:(
Then we have couples taking pics with Jude the Dude: grandparents, aunts, and aunt/uncle
Mom wanted a pic with her "favorite son"
I guess I'll take a pic with my sister...my "twin"
Had to get a cute pic with my parents. Had to make them stand sideways so we'd have a more flattering angle....#vain
After church, we went to our monthly potluck and enjoyed a meal together before my family headed back home. My two fur babies were a bit neglected this weekend with the "human baby" around. Harley stayed in his cage most of the weekend and was very antisocial. When everyone left, he took full advantage of the situation:
His couch was free again and so was his spot by mama. He snuggled with me all night. He was trying to remind me that he was my only baby right now.
Mr. B and I had to take a Sunday Selfie since we matched in our red/black Sunday best
I mean, did I marry a good lookin' man or what! I love this man so much. This weekend confirmed my desire to start a family of our own with him. He was in total daddy mode all weekend. He insisted on taking care of Jude in every aspect. He took a shower with him, fed him, burped him, woke up in the middle of the night, rocked him, soothed him, and even changed poopy diapers!!! I have every confidence that he will make an AMAZING father one day. My hope is that God will bless us with our own children one day soon so that we can share in the joy of parenting together.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Parenthood looks good on yall! Praying the Lord's timing is SOON! Juju!!!!
