Fabulous Weekend!

I had such a great weekend hanging out with friends and doing my own thing. Eric's mom came and got Leo on Saturday morning and then I headedd out to the dropzone for some kid-free skydiving time. I am able to skydive some with Leo out there with us; there are a few teenage girls out there who are very helpful for a reasonable fee. But it's still really hard for me to wear my mommy hat and my skydiver hat at the same time, so anytime I can get out there on a good day and jump on my own is really productive. I made 6 jumps and had a great time jumping with people I jump with regularely and some new faces. I performedd pretty well and my last jump actually did a solo and tried something new and challanging, so it was really fun. Then we skedaddled home for a quick shower after dark and made out way to my friend Gretchen and her husband Eric's wedding reception. We danced and monopolized the bride for a couple hours and left for home and some needded sleep. We slept in until 9!! and then headed out to the Uptown for their famous cajun breakfast (yea, you know the one)and then I went to cheer on my friend Sarah who was running the marathon and Eric went to pick up Leo and bring him home. I cheered on runners for an hour and never did catch Sarah, she passed by me in a group and I just didn't see her. But she did finish and was looking pretty good when I saw her later in the afternoon at their post-run barbeque. Sarah, I'm SO proud of you!!
We had a quiet family afternoon and a nice beddtime for Leo. He had fun at his grandparent's house and was content when wee put him to bed. There's another busy week ahead, I'm hoping to fly tomorrow if weather cooperates and then book club on wednesday. Lots of good things so I'm looking forward to it.
