Books and a Birthday Party

Not much has been happening around here, which I probably just jinxed myself! This past weekend we celebrated Marty's 40th birthday party at Rizzi's in Arlington.  We had a great time sitting out on the patio, especially since the weather was so nice.  (We actually weren't sweating sitting outside in Memphis for once!)



We didn't have any other big plans last weekend, except we went to church on Sunday.  We haven't been in a while (shame on us), but it was a very good service and great music as always.  The special guest this past weekend was Amy Grant.  Her main focus in Memphis is St. Jude and she had some wonderful stories to share.  Since I've had Connor, the St. Jude stories hit me a lot harder because you never want to see your child sick. Matt and I are going to get some stuff of their supply list to lend any kind of help possible.  If we were in their shoes, we'd be thankful for someone else helping out. 




St. Jude Patient Wish List:

Newly released DVDs, Children’s books (Spanish and English), Playstation 2 & 3 games, Xbox 360 games,Wii games, art supplies, construction paper, scrapbook supplies, craft kits, Crayola model magic, markers, art canvases, Lysol wipes, plastic forks, 16 oz plastic cups, paper towels, paper plates, wet & dry Swiffer refills,toilet paper, facial tissues, laundry detergent, hand sanitizer, teething toys, Baby Einstein items*, action figures, hats, themed toys* (such as Thomas The Train, Hello Kitty, Dora The Explorer, etc.), pajama sets (any size), hand held video games, crafts geared towards teens such as jewelry making kits, Blockbuster cards, baseball caps, Malco movie passes, Target gift cards, iTunes gift cards, board games, Subway gift cards.

Other than the birthday party and church we have just been trying to keep up with Connor.  I feel like all we do lately is read.  So on Saturday we went to Barnes and Noble and Connor got two books.  However, he wants nothing to do with them and continues to want to read only these three books:


And because I can't do a whole post without a picture of Connor, here ya go!

Don't worry he wasn't scared, I was just blocking his view of Dora!
