Gasperini-Ville's welcoming committeeWhat a wonderful morning its been with my boys... Some days just roll for us and make me feel like we have partial sanity in Gasperini-Ville. I know it is days like these that God sends to affirm me as a mama. Thank you, Lord, for them!
This morning we were out the door by 8:15, shoes tied and bellies full from breakfast. We headed over to meet with "Miss Carol", my friend and workout partner. She and I lift and do calisthenics while the boys romp around her apt. complex's basketball gym. Today both the boys were engrossed with a roly poly bug they found crawling on the floor. The gym time consisted of the two of them hovering over the bug, racing their cars to guide the bug, and feeding it "a snack" of peanut butter crackers. Pretty cute. Miss Carol suggested that I take bugs with me everywhere for entertainment. Not a bad idea. :) Looks like Mimi and Papa's Easter gift bug houses are going to have some use in the future...
Next, we were off to Panera for a promised breakfast date. M sat in his own grown-up chair and helped me butter his french toast bagel. T smiled and ate away happily in his highchair. Both boys were content and pleasant companions and I was a relaxed mama. Good things. On our way out the door, T decided he wanted to walk at which time he took one hand and M took the other and we toddled off to the car. Anyone who has seen us get from point A to point B over the last two years knows this last detail is a minor miracle! Praise God for growing boys!!! (only just in time to add another little one... :)
Later after a Sesame Street "snack", the kiddos ate lunch, read stories with Mommy, and were off to nap. They are wonderful sleepers and I thank God for their schedule every day. Where would I be without it?!
So that's that here in Gasperini-Ville. Nothing all too exciting.
Other news, yesterday GG and I celebrated the "40 days" party, commemorating the 40 days to go until graduation. I tear up thinking of leaving our wonderful little Catholic law school bubble, but know we are itching to spread our wings in Virginia. Life will look oh-so-different in just over a month. Can't believe it!!
Hope you all are enjoying a blessed day and week. Warm hugs!
M mastering the big boy cup--yahoo!

OH M: What a joyful glimpse at Gasperiniville. Thanks for the view!!
What a great day with your boys! I hope that G Boo becomes a good napper. Not so much these days! :)
sounds like a wonderful time to me =)
also, congrats on the 40-day mark and good luck to GG with his remaining exams! enjoy your remaining time with the law school community--it goes by all too quickly!
I always get a little jealous when I read about your dates at Panera. I dream of the day I can get just one little boy to sit still long enough to enjoy a meal:)
The boys are growing up to be such cuties. Hard to believe T was just a newborn last time I saw you.
