Week 24

Last week was a crazy week!! I already talked about Monday in my last post.

Tuesday -- Normal day with the other kiddos at Sue's house.

Wednesday -- Jammies and Special Friend Day at Sue's! All of the kids looked cute. Here is Amelia just before she left to go. That is her favorite stuffed animal of the moment -- a hippo that Chris has named "Pickle".

We left at the end of my work day to go up to Lakeside. Chris's colleague has a house up there, where we went last year for a weekend with his mother. It's where we told her that Amelia was coming! Wednesday night we just got all settled in.

Thursday -- We walked around Lakeside, shopped a bit, and just enjoyed each other as a family.

Then we took Amelia to her first pumpkin patch! She picked out two pumpkins for our house.

Friday -- Since Dona (Chris's mom) was coming to visit for the weekend anyway, we suggested that she meet us at Lakeside. She and Chris reinacted the moment when the news came out last year. If you recall from the early days of this blog, the story goes that I was taking their picture and said "say.... 'Julie's pregnant!'" See below to see what a difference a year makes!

We headed back down to Columbus on Friday afternoon, because we had some plans there for the weekend. Chris's college hockey team was in town and Dona watched Amelia on Friday so Chris and I could go to the game, and then I switched off with her on Saturday, so she could go with Chris.

Saturday -- Amelia hung out at home with dad and Gramma D, while I went and scored some bargains for her at a baby consignment sale. Then we all met up for lunch. Dona fed her green beans later -- she loves green beans!

Amelia seemed to really enjoy the extra attention she got this week. Between mom having a holiday and taking off 2 days for a mini family vacation, dad being off for 3 days for fall break, and Gramma D coming into town for a couple of days.... little girl got a lot of attention.
