Sunny 9 for 2005 May 11

So yesterday Aaron surprised me with some gifts for Mother's Day. He forgot it on Sunday and I guess he felt bad and really made up for it yesterday. It was sweet b/c I wasn't expecting anything. I wasn't even mad he forgot about it on Sunday I guess because I had low expectations anyway and I didn't think he would remember. So he gave me a couple shirts from Old Navy and a really pretty pair of earrings from Argentos and some See's Candy chocolate truffles. All of the things were great, and I am glad Aaron knows how to shop for me. If all else fails with go with chocolate, jewelry, and clothes. I'm pretty predictable, huh?

The rain has been pretty bad here, but at least Aaron gets tonight off from work since the softball fields are flooding. I didn't get to go on my walk today, but I recently bought one of those exercising balls and workout video for that, so I worked out on the ball today. The first time I used it I was so sore from doing squats. Those things really work.

While Alyson was here I found out that Lily loves to bounce on my lap while I bounce up and down on the ball. Alyson did it with Samuel and Lily and she just loved it. She was smiling really big and you could hear her quiet laugh. She doesn't laugh much so when she does it is a treat. So today I bounced a lot with her. It is so cute now that she can pull herself up on things, she now crawls over to me and pulls herself up on my legs wanting me to pick her up. I adore this of course because it is so sweet that my baby wants me to hold her and now she can show it to me by reaching for me and crawling to me and pulling herself up on me. It just melts my heart.
