what do historic homes on swiss avenue, a pregnant woman, yard signs in the middle of the night, and a very hectic work weekend all have in common? this weekend, they were my life! having a hubby who runs campaigns and a mother who deserves a great mother's day all meant that this weekend was going to be a crazy one. we started it off friday with a car full of yard signs for the vote no! campaign here in dallas. jay's and my duty was to go to all the polling places and get signs out before saturday's election. this means you have to go at odd hours so that the opposition doesn't try to take them down before morning. crazy! so here i was in all my glory, running around schools, churches, and various public buildings putting up yard signs in the dark. ha! but on saturday, it was all worth it. that night jay and i attended the election party and they pulled out a victory! this was huge because jay's firm was hired two weeks prior to the election to bring this campaign out of the gutter - and that they did! i'm so proud of him and happy that our city will finally have a hotel for the convention center...so host your company conventions here!

we got home late saturday/early sunday morning and i started putting the touches on sunday's mother's day lunch. we had jay's mom and family and my parents over for lunch at our house. after a great lunch, we headed out to the historic swiss avenue home tour. anyone that knows my mom or has ever even heard of my mom knows how much she loved this...it was quite a day for her. ; ) she also brought us the bassinet that I SLEPT IN, (yes, that makes it ancient, i know) for our little guy. pretty neat!

speaking of our little guy - we are now to the halfway point and could not be more excited! i can't believe that i am finally getting a little baby bump and our little man is getting closer to joining us! oh my goodness, i can't tell you how excited jay and i both are for him to get here! oh, and i've also started to feel him move, which is the most amazing thing i've ever felt. ; )

hope you are all doing great and had a happy mother's day.
