Friday night, we went to my sister, Melinda’s house, to celebrate my niece, McKenna’s, first birthday. Ah, to be young again and smash cake all up in my face with no worries. Kenna’s big sister’s, Kenna & Kenzie, showed off their handstand skills.

We played outside a bit too. Iggy tried to drive the birthday girl around but couldn’t figure out how to get the car started. So they switched spots and Kenna drove Iggy around.

Saturday morning, I dropped Iggy off for a hair cut and hit the gym. After I showered & made breakfast, I ran some errands and then, Carlos and I went out for an early dinner. We finished the night curled up reading.

I just finished the book The Paris Wife and it was really good. I’ve found the app GoodReads and love it – if you are on there, find me so we can share book recommendations. {I’m under my married name, Jen Monteiro}
Sunday morning, I curled up and watched the news with Iggy for a bit. I love quiet mornings with him.

At 9, I met my friend, Janet, at the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market. I bought some beautiful bright flowers I know my mom would LOVE.
Carlos got some tickets to the MN Twins game – I wasn’t super excited to go, so we decided to invite my sister, Heidi’s husband and their 2 boys to go with Carlos. While the boys were at the game, Heidi, her daughter Grace, and I walked to a restaurant nearby. It was such a perfect day for a walk. I taught Grace how to flip creamers over – she was elated!

Sunday evening, I read some more while Carlos watched music videos. HA! Remember doing that? Just sitting & watching videos for hours? Oh yes, my husband still does that
We made pork steaks for dinner and Carlos asked for a DOUBLE serving of broccoli. I was so hesitant but sure enough, he ate it all.

I won’t tell you what happened next after the double-serving broccoli consumption but I’m sure you could make a logical guess
I’m excited to meet Liz today for lunch – she had some exciting news she recently shared and I can’t wait to hug her in person. I’m also planning on meeting Jen Tuesday & Friday for a morning run – I can’t wait because it’s been since last fall since we ran together.
How was YOUR weekend!
