Slow week.

I was going to do a nice post yesterday about our zoo trip with friends, but we ended up not going. Andrea's son Sean has strep. I feel so sorry for the poor little guy. Get well soon Sean!

The boys and I spent yesterday morning cleaning, and we are doing more of the same today. I'm also working on getting our house more decorated. Yes, we have been living here for over a year and most of the walls were still blank. I think life is just easier since Ethan has turned 1. I finally feel like we can do more things out of the house. He is also starting to be more independent which allows me to actually clean while he is awake. It's amazing how much better I feel with a clean house!

Parent's weekend

First of all I completely realize that I am the worst blogger ever. I LOVE reading other blogs, but I am just not that passionate about my own. That being said I am going to start trying to update regularly again.

Stefan and I got the rare chance to go out of town with no kids. It's kind of a long story of how the trip came about. It was so wonderful! We definitely realize the importance of getting some time to build our relationship. It was Ethan's first night away from me, and he did great. He even slept all night for his nana. :)

We stayed one night in Branson, and spent most of our time at Branson Landing. The weather was absolutely perfect! I documented all the places we ate just so I could blog about it. We are not very exciting people. 

Our first stop was for breakfast at Ferguson's in St. Joe, AR. I have been going to this place as long as I can remember every time my family would make the Branson trek. I know Stefan thought I was crazy, but he quickly decided they has the best bacon he has ever ate. I had not been there in several years, and remembered as some big place. In reality it's a small restaurant with about 15 tables inside a country store. It's still fun to look at all the little treasures. 

Here was my breakfast. I did not do a good job of getting pics of Stefan's food.

The other notable place we ate was Lamberts. I just love the experience of eating there, and it is so worth the wait! I needed to bring a much bigger appetite!

 

 

 

Here is Stefan's chicken fried steak.

My grilled chicken. 

The rest of these are just random pics I wanted to add for sharing purposes. We had a great time, and I can't wait until our next trip!
