10 Smiles Tuesday

I saw "10 Smile Tuesdays" on my friend, Jessie's blog and thought it was a very cute idea. So, I am borrowing it. Thanks for the inspiration, Jessie! This is a list of 10 things that made me smile during the past week...or in this case weeks.

1. Seeing Parker fall asleep in his stroller at the zoo.

2. Having Jon home in the evenings again - Stratas Foods is officially live. There's still a lot of work to do, but at least he gets to come home at a decent time now.

3. Moms'/Girls' night out. I was fortunate to have 2 of these nights out last week. It was great to get out with new friends and remember what it's like to socialize with adults.

4. Going to the many parks in the Memphis area. There are several great parks that P & me have visited recently. So far my favorite is Cameron Brown in Germantown. It has a great pond with a walking path around it where I can push P in his stroller and enjoy the outdoors.

5. Feeding P new foods. P loves to eat, but when he finds something new that he doesn't like he'll stick out his tongue with food on it and make a horrible face while shivering in disgust. It cracks me up!

6. Being back in Illinois for Easter. I loved seeing my family and friends.

7. Watching my baby boy turn 11 months old. I can't believe how time has flown by...and he'll be 1 year old next month!!!

8. Riding my bicycle with P on the back. Jon put a seat on the back of my bicycle and we got P a helmet so we can ride around the neighborhood and to the park.

9. Nap time - I love those few hours of each day where I can catch up on email, FB and update my blog.

10. Getting my neighbor's dogs to stop barking constantly when I'm outside. We put up an ultrasonic anti-bark device in our yard that seems to be working well to stop the barking. Now I can grill out and sit in my back yard without being barked at non-stop. I just hope its keeps working.
