Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the daddies! (Especially Grandpa Dainty and Grandpa Rutecki!) We started off the day by going to the early Mass, then Leah helped me make her daddy some banana peanut-butter chip pancakes and cherrywood smoked bacon. Yum! We gave Ryan his gifts. He is holding up his nifty new golf towel below. (Who new a towel could be so high tech!) After breakfast Ryan started working on painting the basement since we're trying to get most of that done before we have new carpet installed. Leah decided to paint as well. She made some beautiful pictures and got very messy. So, of course we had to get out the sprinkler to rinse off. Next it's lunch and nap time!





Check out her face in the picture above. She was not crazy about the feel of paint on her hands!

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
