Man, have I mentioned that I love summertime? My friend Susan and I were talking recently about the year round school idea that's popular out here and I think if you had the mountain house it would be fun to ski for three weeks, but having the summer to hang and not think about work (until recently) for a couple months plus is the way to go. We ended July with going to Gilead's nice Family Carnival on Friday the 29th, then Greg's friend's party on Saturday.
Then August we kept up the fun schedule by riding bikes with Abbie and Susan with the beautiful new Redwood Shores Library. On Tuesday Christie and I did it up in the Mission going out and then hitting up the awesome Matisyahu Concert at the Regency Ballroom. It's been awhile since I've seen a show, So Fun!! We totally took a taxi all the way home, totally worth it! Greg started on a Wednesday softball league with work friends.
Jon and his friend Danny came into town late Thursday night. Friday the boys went to the Phillies Giants game (they won, big fight too!) and Cody and I went with friends to Foster City's music in the park. Oh Friday during the day we did a full tour of SF: the Haight, the Presido, Fisherman's Wharf..good times, I love taking people to Boudin's Sourdough. Then Saturday we all went to Santa Cruz. The boardwalk was soooo crowded. At night we got a sitter and went out for a great dinner in Palo Alto at Nola's and then played some Foosball and shuffleboard until they kicked us out of Ausiello's. Sunday we all went to the Phillies Giants Game (they lost :() and then had a great dinner. It was great to hang and catch up with Uncle Jonny. Him and Danny were so great with Cody.
I've been doing my weekly trainer appointments at Crunch which have been great except for this week's weigh in. I definitely have been eating like I'm still nursing full time but working out hard too. I did stop nursing last week and gained a little bit. I can't believe I went this long, but it was time. So far it hasn't been too bad. Today I woke up and had to take some Aleve for pain but I was down to only at night so hopefully it won't be too bad. I pumped a little this morning and it was much better. I'll miss nursing him to sleep. He's good with the bottle, but its not the same. Although it was painful at times (many times) it was a good experience overall.
Today my co op friends, Charlene and Mandy, and I brought the kiddos to Happy Hollow, a young kid amusement park and petting zoo in San Jose. Last week we went to the SF zoo with Susan and Cody's favorite sitter, Abbie!
So now that its August, I'm starting to think of school and am getting excited. I even had my department over yesterday to plan and catch up. I'm sad I won't be with my bestie Cody, but he went to Shirley's (his daycare) Monday while I did some school work and had a great time. He'll go again next Monday. Judging by the pic of him with his lunchbox, he's ready for school!
Well this weekend I think we'll order some new living room furniture. I've done more research for this than a car, its crazy, but I think we know what we want and where to get it. I'm excited for a new look though you know I'll miss the purple furniture a little. Wait, no I won't, its not comfortable anymore. The end of an era like Brooke said.
