Weekend Recap--Part I

I've been computer-deprived lately, thanks to other responsibilities and a presentation that John is working on that requires lots of computer time (and takes precedence over my blogging!). So I have lots of pics from last weekend that need posting.

Last Friday was John's birthday. I surprised him by getting Nichole to babysit so that we could go out for a dinner date. We went to Frappes, used our gift certificate (thanks Missy and Laurie!), and had a delicious and relaxed dinner (including a before-dinner drink, appetizers, and coffee at the end...luxury...). When we got back, Will and I gave John his presents and his birthday cake. I made Tres Leches Cake from the Pioneer Woman's recipe--John was skeptical about a tres leches recipe from someone named "Pioneer Woman," but it was yummy. (I think she got it from a Mexican friend.)

Here is Will showing off the birthday decorations he made:

Will also took over some of the gift-opening responsibilities. (At this point, you may be confused about whose birthday this was exactly. I don't blame you.)

On Saturday, Nichole came over to watch the kids again, and John and I skedaddled over to Gainesville to watch the Gator game. We had great seats--35 yard-line, in the shade the WHOLE game. I am now a little sad I can't make it to more games this season, but leaving a nursing baby and finding places to pump before/after the game are not easy tasks.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere come the Gators:

A Tim Tebow touchdown (there were not nearly as many touchdowns as I would have liked, but I'm glad we won):


The scoreboard (and me):

Alrighty, that's Part I. We had some adventures on Sunday, too...stay tuned.
