Tuckered Out

It was a great Saturday with the Mesones family this past weekend. The intrepid Root Family journeyed to Dale City to hang out with Mandy and Natalia for the day in an effort to give Veronica some play time and see if we could get her good and pooped. We intended to stay until about nap time, but wound up staying for dinner after Jorge came home from work. Veronica demonstrated prowess on her new bouncy ball, and Natalia matched her bounce for bounce on her bouncy ball. At the end of the day, the great carrot battle was pretty fun for all of us (except Natalia). As you can see, although we got home late, we achieved our primary objective: Veronica was good and pooped - she barely lifted an eyelid while she got transferred to bedtime jammies.

Happy Mother's Day!

What a great weekend - we had a wonderful visit with Mandy and Natalia, and today was "icing on the cake," as they say. Veronica had a blast playing at the JetBlue play area at the Dulles mall and was generally just a peach.
Jennifer seems to have had a pretty good day - she's now got pajamas that actually fit, and her next motherhood experience is still going well. She still doesn't have gestational diabetes, but watching the sugar and all that. All signs are pointing to positive. Veronica grins every time she feels her baby brother (she hasn't quite put it together that when she feels her baby brother, it's because he's kicking her!). Even daddy seems to be doing things okay - stayed out of the dog house all Mother's Day long!
Happy Mother's Day to you, Happy Mother's Day to you,
Ha-a-ppy Mo-o-other's Day to you-ou-ou,
Happy Mother's Day to you!
