Yesterday, I went to the Farmer's Market in downtown Omaha to buy most of our produce for the week. (It's one of the recommendations in In Defense of Food.) I love it down there, and Ruthie was very good for me in her backpack carrier. I went with $12, and we ended up buying a red pepper, a couple of zucchini, green onions, cilantro, some tomatoes, an eggplant, a few white peaches and some free-range eggs for $10.50. I can't wait to go again this Saturday. Here's a sampling:
Ruth and I then walked over to the other side of downtown to meet my mom and nieces for the River City Roundup Parade. Ruthie kept trying to run out into the street, but she enjoyed watching the drill teams, marching bands and horses. Yesterday evening I went to our ward's Relief Society retreat for dinner before the General Relief Society Broadcast. They gave me a little kit to hand-make a few cards, and since I've been wanting to take up card making as a hobby, it was very exciting! I just finished them a little while ago:
On Friday evening, my friends Cindy and Roberto got married and baptized.
It was very exciting to see them reach their goal, and I wish them the best. During the big event, Ruth had a fun time playing with her friend Clark, who is a month older than Ruth. They tried to wander around the church building alone and had fun hiding under the coffee tables in the foyer. I didn't get pictures of them, but I will next time!On Thursday, we had a playgroup at the Playdaze, which had a "Mommy and Me Play for Free" promotion. Ruth had a great time on the quarter rides, and I got some more video of her walking:
She also had her first driving experience:
Then, earlier this week, my niece Kora came over for a short visit. She and Ruth had fun playing together, too:
The week was a busy one! Hope yours was good, too. :)
