Today was a great day. After Ainsley's first feeding this morning , my mom took her and Jenny and I went for a run. It was strange to think that we had done that same run so many times before. Memories flooded my mind from the times we would go at 5 in the morning or how the scenery changed so much with the season. The green belt trail that goes through the city is sooo beautiful and it doesn't even feel like you are in the middle of the city as you run through the wilderness along the river and over little brook bridges. We all walked it last night as well and enjoyed the little bit of warm weather we got while being here. After our run today mom and I went and got a few groceries. Then we came back and picked up Jen and Ainsley and we had a Mother's Day lunch at La Vie En Rose, a cute little French cafe. We enjoyed a light lunch with a little dessert and coffee afterward. So great to spend time together. Only wish we could stay longer. Ainsley did sooo good too. Such a punkin! After lunch we stopped at the Boise Co-op (healthfood store) to pick up a few more things for the 5 course meal I was going to cook tonight. Of course I would have to hit up that store. It is so cute and you know me and grocery shopping. It brought back memories of when I lived here. We came back home and while Jen and baby napped, mom and I prepped dinner. We visited, cut veggies, blended, boiled, simmered, and baked. We had a little bit of time even to sit down and visit with a glass of wine. Love it! Tonights meal including: Black Bean dip with veggies, strawberry spinach salad, black bean soup, tilapia on a bed of cheezy (nutritional yeast and almond milk) barley with a cucumber red pepper relish and a side of fresh green beans, and for dessert a fruit pie made with a nut and date crust and all fruit filling, no added sugar or other ingredients. I wasn't happy with the dressing I made for the salad but everything else was pretty tasty. We sat down and enjoyed the progressive meal, course by course with a glass of wine and a little decaf coffee with dessert. Then I got to give little Ainsley a bath. She is such a sweetheart and did so good. I was a little nervous bathing her cause she is soo tiny but auntie Becky had the touch ;) So sad I won't see her much and not looking forward to goodbye tomorrow. Going to enjoy the rest of my time here before flying out tomorrow afternoon. The picture of all four of us girls is on my mom's camera so I will post it as soon as she sends it to me. Really cute!
