Week in Review

I had a whole list of things I wanted to blog about yesterday afternoon, but most of them have fled my head. Oh well. I had a nice Mother's Day; Nick did about eight loads of laundry over Saturday and Sunday, which was a nice surprise and unexpected gift. Plus, he bought me Stephenie Meyer's new book, The Host, which I have finished and really enjoyed, btw. He also "let" me pick up a small grill pan at Ikea, and that was exciting too.


On the downside, Reid is not sleeping well. Signs point to teething, but who knows? I just hope it passes.


I have been watching Masterpiece on PBS lots lately. They dropped the "theater" from their name, so I figured now I can be under 70 and still enjoy it. I have embraced my geekiness. Anyway, they are in the middle of a mini-series called Cranford which is based on a book by Elizabeth Gaskell. It has been really, really enjoyable. I don't know when/if they'll replay it, and the last segment is next Sunday, but it has been great.


The Host was a great book, although very, very different from her other books. I would recommend it to either gender though, which is something I couldn't really say of the Twilight series.


I think that's all. We finished mailing out the invitations for MB's wedding the other day...it is a long story how we ended up with them, but it wasn't such a terrible thing. She did most the work before she left. I have to admit a sense of satisfaction at seeing them go out though; I designed them for her, and the whole process was a bit of a pain. But, now they are done and look nice! I'll post the reply card here so you can see.



We didn't take very many pictures this week. I'll just post these two: the boys being monkeys and Reid sleeping with Nick.
Everyone have a great week!
