Aden Graduates Mommy and Me

The last couple of days were very busy. Tuesday night, Amy and I went into town for a fundraiser for her Hall Mercer mommy and me class. They need money to finish the roof deck where the kids play. Here is Amy with her friends Margo and Emily.

We were at Apothecary on 13th. Cool place. They had a silent auction. We won a bunch of musical instruments for Aden.

We then stopped by our condo for the last time. The closing was yesterday. The buyer was there. He probably wasn't supposed to be but we didn't mind. Amy was happy because he seemed like a nice, young guy, who was excited to be starting out in the City. There was also a stray cat living there that he started taking care of.

I feel ok about all this. I don't have the connection with the place that I once had. I guess I'm getting comfortable in the 'burbs.

Bye! Ok, now I'm tearing up a bit.

Wednesday morning Aden was ready to go!

Amy and Aden had their last mommy and me class so I went for a little. Every stroller was a Bugaboo!

This is Abby. It was her birthday!

Abby's mom Margo made no dairy or egg chocolate cupcakes for the kids. Aden enjoyed his!

This is the inside part. Lots of toys for the kids. The teacher was talking about how to deal with temper tantrums.

Then we went up to the roof deck. Aden seems to like sand better than water.

The roof deck was neat. Lots to do.

The fundraiser was to finish the tiles and extend the awning.

Aden is not so sure about the sprinkler, even if it is Elmo!

So back to the sand.

Nice view of the City.

Aden and Lila playing in the pool.

A little snack.

Amy is sad she can't continue the class as it's during the day and she's going back to work. She made some really great friends and so did Aden!

One final round of songs. Maybe I will post the video later.

We then went to the closing for the condo. No pictures there. Just lots of signatures.

Then we walked about 12 blocks, which is more than a mile in the crazy heat and humidity to visit Melanie, Gregg and new baby Sam. He just turned three weeks. We had a nice time hanging out and cooling off before we had to walk back to the cars.

Luckily the rain held off until we got to the cars. It poured on the way home.

Even though we got back around 4, we were super hungry so nothing like the early bird specials at Ben and Irvs.
