Eventful Weekend.

It's a beautiful Sunday evening. Brian is mowing the lawn and I'm watching Rylie cruise around the house! She loves to "walk" around the table, bracing herself by the chairs. And she always make a point to go to the window sill where she peeks under the curtains in hopes of seeing her daddy outside! Just a few seconds ago, I looked around the corner to find her sitting under the table, reading her book. And now she's back to playing musical chairs. She is always on the go. And it's very surreal to watch her walk from furniture to furniture. Earlier tonight, she made it from one side of the room to the other by walking along the edge of the fireplace. It's strange because I can not picture her walking, completely unaided. She seems too young...and maybe a little too short. I know being short doesn't have anything to do with walking. But picture a six month old baby walking, and you'll get what I'm talking about. She just seems so little.

We had a very eventful weekend...

Friday night was the first night, in a very long time, that I went out with "the girls!" I didn't leave the house until 7:30pm; but we went to dinner at a japanese steakhouse (very entertaining) and then went to the movie, The Time Traveler's Wife...which didn't start until 9:50pm!! Even though I missed being at home with my family, I felt that it was good for me to get out by myself for a night. Of course, I called to check in...ten times! Nah, I'm only kidding. But I did call to check in and Brian was doing just fine without me...even though he didn't get Rylie to sleep until 10:30pm.

Saturday night, we went to dinner with some friends at an authentic German restaurant. And after laughing over the menu and finding out what Schnitzel was...we all ordered the Smoked Bratwurst and fried potatoes. How original, I know! And it was during dinner that I discovered why Brian rarely gets Rylie dressed. See anything wrong with these pictures:

(her shirt is on backwards!)

(and yes, I specifically took those pictures so that I could post them on my blog!)

And after church, grocery shopping, napping, cleaning, laundry, and bathing Rylie...it's now Sunday evening and I'm exhausted...but it's almost time for bed. Yippee!!!

Good night, friends!
