So today was super rainy, and although I managed to sign Xave and I up for Storytime at our local library, and he had a haircut appointment today, we stayed in due to the sheer amount of liquid draining from the sky.
Oh well, I rescheduled the hair cut, and there are 5 more weeks of storytime to go...plenty of chances to make it. :)
I was admittedly trying to figure out what to blog about on my walk down to the Blue Moose, when across the bridge ran a group various individuals aged 20 something to 50 something wearing various outfits from tuxedos, to dresses, to dress shirts with no pants, and also the occasional genuine running gear...let it also be known that the dresses were not limited to women and the dress shirts not limited to men. Physically, they're all runners (the physique and stance all kind of shout that they do this on a regular basis, whether or not in said garb, who knows!) and it was a very curious sight...which only reinforces how kind of...quirky Morgantown can be. It isn't scary or dangerous per say, just...a little different with it being a college town.
Anyway, in regards to my walk downtown to blog and the fact that Xave and I didn't get out today, I am going to try to make a point of getting out of the house (alone) at least once a week to blog. I really enjoy blogging, and think that I'll continue to enjoy looking back on posts I've made in the future. I ended up today back at the Blue Moose (where I was for my last post) and figure that I'll probably continue ending up here.
Oh, what else is going on...
I have found that there is a mothers group in Morgantown, called MOMs (http://www.orgsites.com/wv/momsclubmgneast/). I got in touch with a member, and hopefully we'll be doing play groups soon! The other group I found is called Buggies and Babes, which is a postpartum walking group in the city (you stroll around with your baby, hey, we know how to do that!). They are going to have a luncheon tomorrow, so hopefully the rain will hold off and we can go!
Another advantage to having moved back home is getting to go back to St. Hubert's again. We went to Mass last Sunday for the Palm Sunday service, and it was quite wonderful to be back in a parish where it felt warm and welcoming. We have to make the trek back down to Charleston this Saturday night for Easter Vigil since The Husband is a sponsor down there, but I'm looking forward to spending some Holy Week time back in our parish that feels like home...

Interestingly enough, Xave is going through a slightly shy stage, in which it'll take a good 15-20 minutes for him to warm up to people. However, he didn't forget Father Andrew! He took right back up with him...but I'm sure that it helps that we have a photo of him and Father on our fridge... :) Last Sunday, Father carried Xave around while he pointed to different Icons and said their names (Xavier can recognize Mary and Jesus, and sometimes Joseph...and he can also point to Jesus's "ouch"es...haha). It was very endearing to see.
Xavier delegating where Father Andrew should take him...lol
This is what Xavier does now when you say, "Say Cheese!"
Okay...so another blog post about a week or so from now... :)
