On Monday night Austin & I enjoyed a date night that included dinner at the new Sakura Japanese Steakhouse in Cedar Falls, clothes shopping at Kohl's (Austin's favorite part! ;o)) and ice cream by the river in downtown Cedar Falls. On Wednesday I went to a MOPS meeting in Waverly without the kids. It was very good, and I met some other moms from Waverly--including two who have kids in Emily's preschool class. In another strange twist of irony, I won a prize for getting the most sleep the night before (8.5 hours). I gave a disclaimer that I was drugged up (experimenting with pain med dosages), but they still gave me the fun stamp markers. :o) I ate lunch at home and then went to Waterloo for the whole afternoon to visit people, shop and run errands. On Friday I went to the first meeting of the year of Mom's Morning Out at our church and did some more shopping. My mom left after lunch on Friday.
I didn't take a lot of pictures since I wasn't even home half the time, but here's one of Emily getting her hair dried after a bath. She has never let me use a hair dryer on her before. Grandma is special. ;o)
The next picture sums up Lincoln's favorite part of the week. He & Grandma put a LOT of miles on the stroller. They went out multiple times a day, often in between the rain showers and sometimes with Emily tagging along on her bike. It's something I know Lincoln enjoys but I just have not been able to do for the last two months because of my foot problems. I won't be able to match Grandma Boote, but I'm feeling good enough now that we'll probably be able to do more than just hobble around the block once in a while.
Thanks again to my mom for blessing us this week. We love you!

It's so nice to have family around to help. I think my parents are going to take Wendelll here soon so I'm kind of looking forward to that. At least you did some fun things, good for you!
