Getting back in the swing of things

Since stepping away from my blog, I've found it harder than I thought to return. I feel quite confident that it is due to my pregnant brain. The simple things become hard. And such is writing and blogging.  

This is such a sweet time for our family and I want to document it, but it's hard to determine between the important and irrelevant.  

So here are a few random tidbits. And I do mean random...

I spent last weekend in San Marcus at a wedding for my friend, Brooke. Brooke is such a sweet presence in my life and since I don't see her as much as I would like, it was so good to be around her.  I had a fun girls weekend and was able to catch up with many friends that I haven't seen in several years.  

     

The belly was a big hit this weekend. :)

I am making dinner for my dad tomorrow for his birthday. I'm going to cook a brisket. Can you believe that I have never made brisket before? I always opt for roast and leave the brisket making to the more experienced cooks.  I am not the best at trying new things. I prefer to stick to the known.  It's a downfall.  

I got a great pair of maternity Long and Lean jeans on sale at gap.com if anyone is looking for some. 

Yesterday I wore tennis shoes to the grocery store. I forget what an adjustment it is to return to closed toed shoes. Anyone else have this problem? 

For some bizarre reason, Noah thinks popsicles are an appropriate breakfast item.???? 

We were planning to paint the outside of our house this weekend. The forecast: rain. sigh.
