A Great Saturday
With both of us working, Saturdays are really important to us. The weekend is the only time we have to clean, shop, relax, work on projects, and also be sure that Owen has a good time all the while. Today was a good mix of all of those things. We got up, and Owen headed right for the backyard to throw some pitches to dad. So he did some running around and exploring. Then, we went to our favorite neighborhood coffee shop, Capitol Coffee, and chatted with our friend Troy who is the manager (and the man to see for lattes). Then, we headed to the Farmers Market to stock up on fruits and veggies. Basically, Duffy kept Owen happy watching the live fish and lobsters, while I quickly filled our cart with the goods. On the way home, we stopped by an antique/art shop "So Rare" we always drive by, but have never been to. It was inspiring, and further reminded us that we really need something for our bare walls. We also went to the library, which we haven't been to in way too long. Owen was just amazed at all the books, and you would've thought we took him to Disney World. Going to the library will have to be one of our weekly events when I'm home with them in the fall. We came home, rested a while, played some more, and cleaned house. Caroline slept the entire morning, and then woke up with a smile (see picture).
We went to church for a little while tonight, but left early after Owen had an accident (I don't know if I can even call it an "accident" anymore, when it happens more often than him using the potty- ugh!) We were most excited to find that the Braves game was being televised, and we celebrated with some ice cream sundaes--Owen has fallen asleep watching the game (see picture), and so now it is just Daddy and me.
Ahhh, the perfect ending to a great day.
