My bio right now says that I'm a freelance musician and a stay at home mom. Mostly I am the second these days, but I have some performances coming down the pipeline starting next weekend.
So this past weekend felt like the last weekend we'll have together as a family for a while without Vampire Mommy. Playing musicals is always a lot of fun, but it is definitely a balancing act with young kids, one of whom is going though a stage where nighttime is a par-tay.
On Saturday, we were able to host our newlywed friends (they've been married for just over a week, guys!) for coffee in the morning and it was wonderful. The afternoon was spent trying to squeeze my postpartum hips and short short legs into various pairs of jeans at the mall, and it was horrible. So that's enough about Saturday.
We took the kids to one of our favorite parks on Sunday. It's a place we frequent a lot in the late spring and summer, and despite a chilly wind, it was a good time.
I will not be performing on Broadway, by the way.

The view didn't stink, either.
Sir Toddler's favorite part...picking up sticks and banging them on things.
It really makes a difference in our overall stress levels if Mr. Husband and I get out of the house on weekends. We are fortunate enough to be within easy driving distance of a number of stroller-friendly trails, and we appreciate them even more now that the snow has (finally! FINALLY!) melted. Our backyard isn't very toddler-friendly for a number of reasons, so it was great to see Sir Toddler able to interact with nature.
Unbeknownst to us, our pastor passed away right at the start of the 11:30 Mass on Sunday. We greeted him briefly as we left the 9:30, but now I wish we had stopped to really talk to him. Please pray for him. He was a kind man and a good shepherd of his flock.
