Ever since then...

Zoo with Papa and Pasha...we actually had intended on visiting the Bay Area Kids Museum in Sausalito that day, but a little confusion with the address and directions no thanks to the apple iphone, led to our accidental return to 101 and the Golden Gate bridge...in which case I decided that we weren't going to cross the bridge 4 times that day, deal with all of the no left turn lanes, and 19th Ave. traffic, and instead headed off to the zoo where we had yet another fulfilling experience there. The tigers were out roaring, and the bears played in their pool and wrestled one another. Even though we have been to this zoo fairly often in the last few months, this visit was so special because my parents hadn't been there since my sister and I were school age. They really had a blast with T! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the flower's T picked out himself for me for Mother's Day...still going strong 2 weeks later! Purple and green, he knows my favorite colors!

A really cold day at the beach...this is me wondering what I was thinking coming so unprepared!

Mother's Day weekend, my sister Katie came home for the weekend, so we enjoyed spending time with her. Katie is in her last few weeks of graduate work, trying to pound out her thesis, and is due to graduate June 13th! In 5 years she has successfully earned her Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering, and she was offered a much-sought-after job to work for Saint Judes, so pride doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about my sister's accomplishments! Having her come home for a few days was really unexpected and wonderful, but a good excuse for her to get away from school anyway!

T and I drove to Tracy to visit his cousins and Auntie Jenn that Friday. Cousin Spencer, at 11 days old, is so precious in every way, he let me give him a bath while Jenn rested, and I spoiled myself by carrying him all afternoon. I took T and Mitch for a bike ride before lunch, and the boys played really well together the entire afternoon. Jason's mom and I made lasagna that night for dinner....Yummo! We had a really great visit!

For Mother's Day, we had breakfast at Scramblz with my boys and Dad, then Mom, Kate and I spent the rest of the day wandering around downtown Los Gatos, then Campbell for the Farmer's Market, and a little retail therapy! Jas took T over to his parents to play baseball that day...I can't tell you how odd it feels not having T with me for that many hours, I literally feel as though I'm missing an appendage. For dinner, we BBQ'd at my parents and had a very relaxing evening.

And ever since, our weeks have been mostly with Jason, who has had some more "Unexpected Vacation" with his current job assignment having him in between projects. So we've been to Golfland, Gilroy Gardens, gardening in our patio, enjoyed the company of our neighbors the Andrade's, and in general hanging out together just the 3 of us, and I'm pretty sure I fit in a beach visit or two!!
