Today was a fantastic day!
Eli got up with Martyn around 6 or so, and let me sleep in until Martyn couldn't take it anymore....which was until about 7, and I really needed and appreciated it. I was laying in bed for about 10 min before I got up, listening to them in the living room....Martyn was holding out pretty well, but he really wanted his mama, and some ninny, and finally just broke down crying. Eli did so well with him. I sure love that guy, he's such a great daddy (and hubby).
When I got up and took Martyn, Eli fixed us breakfast and then we headed out to the farmers market. I was dead set on getting some stuff to start making baby food....peas in particular. It was a little sprinkly, and cloudy but warm. We made it through the farmers market...I love how that has become part of our Saturday routine for the summer again. It's fun to go, and see all the vendors, and I don't even mind (usually) the mass hoard of people there. People always seem to be in friendly, high spirits there, and that makes me happy, too.
On the way home, Eli says to me, "do you mind if when we get home, I just sit for a little while? I'm really worn out..." Sure! I said. I know how it is. I on the other hand, was feeling full of energy and decided I need to get a bunch of stuff done. We also made the decision that anything we got from the farmers market, would not go into the fridge until it had been processed by one of us.....like for carrots, cut the greens off, peel and chop them....like that.
Eli took Martyn, and I got a bunch of stuff done. We were supposed to go over to his Great Aunt Phylis' house for a garden party/wedding reception for her daughter Betsy, at 4 so we needed to leave by 3:30. At 3, I hoped in the shower, and Eli made some tasty cabbage salad for the party. We loaded Martyn up, who had been sleeping and took off. Made it on time and really enjoyed the party. There was a lot of great food, and it was fun to visit with everyone. Martyn, as usual was just wonderful, and everyone really enjoyed him.
At one point, I was sitting on the couch inside, and nursing him when Walt and Mary Jane arrived. They came in the front door, and Walt says, "I see Martyn!" It was so cute. I love how they both are SO enjoying being grand parents. I had Martyn wearing his "Team Grandpa" shirt too.
Over all it was just a wonderful day, spent with my two favorite guys...and some other great friends and family too. Just what I needed after a long week at work.
