Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day weekend to me!! I am celebrating this weekend with lots of Jack and Mama time. Jeff made a trip home to Iowa to visit his parents and to drive Kacie home for the summer. I took yesterday afternoon off to go shopping and pick Jack up early from day care. This morning we went to the rec center where I got a long run in while Jack played with the other kids at the drop-in day care, and then we went swimming! It's been a pretty fantastic weekend so far, if I do say so myself. I wish we were at home with Jeff, but it's easier to be away knowing that we'll be home to visit in just a few weeks. Not much exciting to report around here--Jeff and I have spent the last few weekends working on lots of projects around the house: we finished painting and redecorating our bedroom, doing some spring cleaning, planting flowers, a Rockies game, and several trips to the zoo. Here are some pictures of Jack helping out with the planting:

He insisted on wearing gardening gloves, even though he lost all dexterity by doing so.

We've been working on "faces" the past week or two. This is his "happy" face. Can you tell?

While we were cleaning off the front porch last weekend, Jack found his snow boots. So obviously, he put them on. They were the perfect match for his Hawkeye basketball outfit that he also insisted on wearing. I'm sure they improved his shot.

Next up for the Flemings: a visit from the Burgarts (Jason, Melissa, and Emma) and Katie! I went to law school with Melissa and Katie, and we're trying to make more regular trips to see each other every six months or so. Emma will be about 11 months old, and it's the first time she and Jack have met. It will be fun to watch the babies play together and, of course, spend lots of time catching up. Happy Mother's Day weekend to my mom Janet, Jeff's mom Jane, my grandma Sophia, Jeff's grandma Shirley, and all of our other mom friends and family. Sending you all lots of loves and hugs!
