March Madness

We have been pretty busy here the last few weeks. My mom came to visit during her spring break, and per usual, she did a TON of stuff to help out. I don't think it's possible for her to come without sewing something new and cooking at least two pies. So, this visit included sewing curtains for the baby's room, which turned out perfectly (and cost half the price). She also made a cherry pie, and my new favorite, a butterscotch pie (seriously, this thing is amazing). We had a lot of fun, and Reggie, as always, was sad to see her go.


Butterscotch goodness.

Later that week, Derek and I headed to the Verizon Center in D.C. to watch the first round of the NCAA tournament. Derek is a huge UConn fan, so we got to see them blow out Bucknell, and then we watched the first half of the Missouri/Cincinnati game. It was pretty awesome. The only issue is that we somehow got seats in the middle of a ton of Bucknell students (like shirts off, painted chest, holding posters kind of fans). It was okay though, because they certainly quieted down during the second half.

The really annoying Bucknell fans.



Aside from that, we've just been doing more house stuff -- yard work, organizing, etc., and watching a ridiculous amount of basketball. Derek painted the baby's room this weekend. Here is a sneak peek with the new curtains.





I will spare you the picture of me from 28 weeks. I chose to wear a horizontally striped shirt, and it was a very bad decision.
