the end of may

how can it be?

i've been well. exhausted from having a crabby baby and a crabby me and.. well we've started to get to bed just a bit earlier and come to discover: my 2-year-old can act like a big kid when he gets enough sleep.

yesterday was awesome, the weather was nice right after work so Devin and I went over to our park and after trying all the toys once, walked around. The path is still halfway underwater but we walked most of it. And found . . . .

. . . #1. this bench is new. and #2. they tore up part of the path and put it in a pile right behind the bench.... uh?

I, for one, find this bench to be perfectly located. Not even half a block from our front door and check this out . . .



The river is still way over its banks.  As Devin pointed out yesterday, "the trees are in the water." (also, the trees have leaves finally!) We sat and watched this, looking for ducks. He was pretty amused by the ducks swimming on the water. We only saw two and he wanted to wait there all night for more, and in order for us to go home I had to tell him the ducks had gone night-night and then here came two people rowing a canoe. How random. (&i was jealous, it looked like fun)

So. In conclusion. I hope everybody has a great memorial day weekend. I know I will (especially if we weren't getting rain every day of my long weekend). One of my best friends is getting married next month and the bachelorette party is this weekend. so that should be fun. i wish you all could come. :)
