Dinner with the In-Laws

Today was dinner at my mother-in-laws home which we typically arrange every Sunday or every other! We had agreed to be there at 4pm, so when it was time for me to wake Jason up to go, he was too sleepy, so Ethan and I made the trip out there so daddy could rest (he is still on a third shift sleep schedule)! My handsome little boy and I arrived (in Taylorsville) a little after four, it is so difficult to be on time when you have a baby controlling the schedule--lol! Terrie (my mother in law) was so excited to see Ethan, she loves him so much, Ethan calls her Mimi, well not yet he doesn't, but he will soon! She is such a wonderful grandmother, and I'm so happy Ethan was blessed with such a wonderful family! My father in law (Pops to Ethan) just had out patient surgery on his knee and was doing great, he was actually walking around and even set the table! Every time we make a visit Terrie always makes a dessert, really great desserts! She was telling me that Dale (father in law), asked her yesterday what kind of dessert she would be making since we are all doing a 'healthy' routine with eating and working out! So, she made blackberry cobbler, which was as close to healthy as she could get, it was wonderful! She used whole wheat flour, (typically anything she makes with flour is whole wheat)...and of course blackberries is a wonderful fruit...and then we all laughed because of all the sugar that goes into a cobbler! I guess it made us feel a little better because of the blackberries and whole wheat flour! Anyhow, we had a wonderful visit; they exchanged smiles and had little baby conversations! Ethan has really been trying to 'talk' lately and its the cutest thing ever, like music to my ears! Just when I thought my day was coming to an end, I still have some cleaning to do, and then going to try to make it to the grocery (I'm a late night grocery shopper, I don't like crowded places bc I'm a little on the claustrophobic side)! I hope I have a wonderful week ahead of me and please keep Jason in your prayers, that we get positive news about his job search! Everyone have a wonderful week!
