Our dear friends Jami and Jim hosted an informal wine tasting for us. (We were in our pajamas.) Very classy, no? Although I am usually a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or Italian Pinot Grigio fan, I now have a Pinot Noir favorite - Toad Hall Lavender Hill from the Napa region. It is lovely! 
We enjoyed a baby shower and BBQ for Becca in Des Moines this past weekend. Although it poured down rain the entire weekend, it was nice to feel the humidity and see the green grass! Jacob had a great time at breakfast on Sunday morning entertaining the crowd. 
I've heard of stories and seen it on the movies but last week it happened to me! I was driving through Dunn Bros coffee shop to pick up a pick me up. When I pulled forward and leaned out the window to pay she handed me this note and told me the person ahead of me had bought my coffee. Thank you to the person who made my day! Now it is my turn to pay it forward.
Jacob had his first (and hopefully last) visit to the ER last week. He tripped on the stair and hit his forehead on the sharp corner of the banister in a house that we were looking at with a realtor. We had a really nice ER doc and he did a great job cleaning out the cut, er, wound and using a super glue type of product to glue it shut. We're hoping the scar is minimal. After making that comment to the gentleman that checked us in at the ER, he smiled and said to me, "Chics dig scars". I was a bit on edge last week trying to keep him from bumping it and opening it up again - which is what the doctor cautioned me of. He's sure a tough little guy. My heart still skips a beat when I see him trip but he's long since forgot about it - if only I could. :)
