Pastries, Parties and Poopies

We had a fun weekend... and it is too bad that I didn't take very many pictures, because there were plenty of Kodak moments.

We began the weekend with the Metcalf family and spent the morning in Lawrence...and ate some delicious doughnuts. ( I tried the cream cheese doughnut which was amazing!!!) Thanks for a fun start to our day Metcalfs!

Then James, Joseph and I traveled to Manhattan to celebrate Kate Deaver's first birthday. Ben and Maris call her their little ladybug, so I made some cookies to go along with the theme. It was a very relaxing day at the Deaver home and it was great to catch up with some old friends.

The next day we celebrated my dad's birthday at his favorite restaurant...which we refer to as "Joe's", but it is actually named "Rancho Grande Cantina". Just in case you guys are interested, they have the best tacos in town (maybe second to Derek's) and they are buy one get one free on Taco Tuesday! After we stuffed our faces, we went back to my parents to eat another delicious pastry...cherry pie a la mode.

After all that eating...Joseph really needed to go. We are in the very infant stages of thinking about potty training. Joseph can say "potty", "poopie" and "ewww"...if only he would tell us before the deed is done. Here he is enjoying the funny papers.
