This was quite the weekend. Saturday I got together with some dear friends to catch up on life. There were four wee ones and one on the way; we have come a long way from elementary school! Then I was off to get my hair done and I treated myself to a pedicure. Sometimes a mama just needs some pampering, and this weekend was the perfect excuse. Today we headed up to my grandmothers house for breakfast to celebrate motherhood. The little guy was worn out and fell asleep while we ate. He is such a sweetheart!! I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend!
This weekend I am thankful for good friends and for the pleasure of being Declan’s mom. It’s a tough job but I feel blessed each day that I get to call him my own.

The little dude’s feeling much better and we are enjoying a game of toss with his foam letters. Hoping he sleeps in his crib tonight… He’s a lot bigger than he used to be and even a king size bed doesn’t seems to fit us all (especially when a certain someone sleeps sideways… Ahem.).

I stayed home with him today, seems like a fever went around daycare and the poor guy has been down for the count since Monday afternoon. This was a rare moment of alertness.

My aunt has an avocado tree and, knowing Declan’s obsession with guacamole, sent us a box full of deliciousness! The first one was enjoyed in mini pitas for me and straight up for the little dude. So tasty.

We bought an annual pass and can’t wait to go back to see the half that we didn’t get to, as well as to visit the safari park!

They are local (located in Downey, CA) and deliver to all of Los Angeles and Orange Counties! The milk is very fresh (most often it is delivered within 48 hours of milking) and is delivered by a real life milk man between three and six am. They also deliver butter, cheese, freshly squeezed fruit juice, eggs and bread! We signed up for a four week trial and if it goes well we will keep it up. It isn’t really more convenient since we had to go to the store anyways, but I like supporting local farmers and knowing where our milk is coming from! So today I am thankful for local farmers and fresh local milk.

Exhausted from a busy weekend which included Declan’s first trip to the San Diego Zoo today! Since a years pass is only $20 more than a days admission we are now pass holders. I hope to post some zoo pictures tomorrow night but right now I’ve got a few things to be thankful for.
Day 5: thankful for my mom. Here she is outside the local Williams Sanoma before the Giada deLaurentis book signing. My mom has always been great, but since having Declan I have realized all that she did, and continues to do for my sisters and I. She is an amazing woman and I am proud to be her daughter!!

Day 6: thankful for sleep. When Declan was about a month old I explained to a friend how it felt being a new mom: “imagine you are in the middle of finals week, or a big project at work. You haven’t slept more than a few hours each night trying to get everything done. You have a few more days to push through and the only thing keeping you going is the promise of the deadline. The end of the school year. When you will be done and can sleep and relax. That’s how I feel, except then I realize that the end isn’t coming. There is no over. I honestly don’t know when I will ever get to sleep again.” Well, almost 14 months later I can look forward to sleep. And I am so so thankful for that.
