We ate too much

I am still marveling in the fact that Finn no longer is connected to the monitor. It is so much easier to run upstairs and change him or take him out in his carseat or stroller. Even changing his clothes is easier because you don't have to work around the cords. I just love it.

DeAnn (Jim's aunt) was kind enough to volunteer to babysit last night and treat us to dinner, so we gladly took her up on it. We really needed some time alone away from the house (okay, maybe that was just me needing that, but I really did!). So we went to El Loro (shocker, I'm sure if you know Jim at all!) and had great food, drinks and conversation (good to know we still have things to talk about...and not just Finn!). I think I'm still full. Target is next door, so we even stopped there and I think I was just as excited to be able to go there as to go out for dinner! Jim's cousin Ann came over for a while, too, so she got a little Finn time, too!

We stopped and picked up my cousin Erica on the way home. She stayed over night and spent the day with Finn and me today. It was so nice having her here and she is really good with Finn, so I have a little extra freedom. She is a big helper, even if Finn was a little fussy today for her taste (I guess I'm just used to it!). She is going to try to come and spend one day a week with me over the summer (when her busy schedule allows!), so I'm really looking forward to that.

And we (Erica, Finn, Auntie Kristine and I) got to go to Austin's t-ball game tonight. It was so much fun to watch. They practice catching, batting, fielding and then they do one "inning" where half the team bats and half fields and then they switch.
