Weekend

We had a good weekend in the Habalar-Phillips household. Friday night was pretty chill. I put the whiper snapper to bed and Jason played a little poker. Saturday I slept in til about 10:00 and Jason got up early with Niko to hang out. Saturday and Sunday are my sleep in days. Jason gets up around 6:30 with Niko and gets things done around the house while he sleeps (he usually goes back to sleep soon after getting up in the mornings).

After getting up Saturday Niko and I went to help Auntie Fe with a fundraiser she was participating in for the Dove-Lewis Animal Hospital. Activspace, where her inventory for her business is located, organized an open house and silent auction for Dove-Lewis and Peaceful Valley Greetings had tables set up selling product. It was a pleasant day and Auntie Fe got some items sold. Niko enjoyed it as well--he grooved to the live band and also liked getting oohs and ahhs from the various ladies that came by Felicia's space.

Sunday I again slept in until 10:00 then got up and got myself ready for church. Daddy joined us this morning and he got busy getting Niko ready. Auntie Fe came by around 10:15 and we were off. We decided we would try putting Niko in the church daycare so we could enjoy the service uninterrupted. I had some seperation anxiety but finally was able to say goodbye and leave Niko with the capable people taking care of the infants. Within 4 minutes of sitting down for the service I saw our name appear up on the screen--we were being paged by the nursery. I headed downstairs in a hurry to find out what was going on--I heard Niko before I actually saw him--He was screaming! It really wasn't the nursery's fault. We tried feeding Niko before we left but he wasn't interested. Well his hunger must of kicked in because he wanted to eat and he was letting everyone know it! After calming him down and feeding him I left him with the folk in the nursery again and went upstairs to enjoy the last half of the service. When we went to pick up Niko after the service he was happy as a clam. So lesson learned: Always feed Niko before dropping him off at the nursery.

After church I rushed to a wedding shower at Nikki's house for our friend Dawn who is getting married to Doyle in July. It was a non baby event so Niko stayed home with Daddy. I had a great time with the ladies, eating yummy food, drinking good wine and hearing funny stories about Dawn and Doyle. We also played some games and gave some marriage advice--which was mostly pretty comical.

All in all it was a very nice, but busy weekend.
