Weekend Fun!

This was a very nice weekend!

On Friday, we met up with some folks for dinner, sort of a tradition at this point. We're getting smarter about it though, and started meeting at people's houses to save some cash. This also allowed the kiddos to run around a bit, too. Which led to Amelia's first run-in with a boy. Let's just say, his tackle made his football coach father proud. :)

On Saturday morning, we went to a first birthday party for Amelia's buddy, Arden.


She spent the majority of the party playing with the toys, especially the balls:

She also made friends with a large, fluffy white dog. When our backs were turned a short while later, she wandered off to visit him again. That girl loves dogs!

Later, I went and spent the evening visiting my mom.

And Chris and Amelia went to the Crew game:


Amelia had a blast at the game with her daddy, and she had lots of friends there to entertain her.

On Sunday, we had some afternoon visitors. Joey brought his parents by for dinner.

They had fun playing:


But Amelia's favorite part was the doggie that came with them! :)


On Monday, it was back to the usual grind.

On Tuesday, however, Amelia played hooky from the sitter, so she and Daddy could pal around one more day before school starts next week.

Mark and Cindy stopped in, while they were passing through on their way back to Michigan:


And Chris and Amelia went on a nature hike (she's looking at trees) at High Banks:


And played together on the playground:

It makes me smile to hear that Amelia's still fascinated by trees. I remember when I use to take her for a walk when she was fussy, many many moons ago. I thought she should be interested in the cars going by, but she loved watching the trees above her head.

Ahhhh memories! Love the photographs!
