Playing Catch-Up: January 29-February 14

Sorry... life has gotten away from me, and I have not updated the blog in a few weeks.

So here's a quick run-through of what you've missed. It really has not been much, in terms of adventures and pictures. Chris has been super-busy with work, and Amelia and I have been fighting off a couple of cases of winter sickies. So we really have not done a whole lot lately! And I have found myself grabbing the camera less. I promise to work on that.

But here goes...

Saturday 1/29

Chris went out for the night to watch his college hockey team play nearby. Amelia and I stayed home and hung out together.

Little Cinderella watched a "My Little Pony" movie with her Ponies:


Sunday 1/30

The pre-church shot - in her Sunday best:


Hanging out with Daddy later - "painting" on his ipad:


Friday 2/4

Local "Chocolate Walk". Amelia got loaded up on an excessive amount of chocolate as we walked around downtown. I feel bad that we did not get a picture of the chocolate mess that she was.

Saturday 2/5

We had a big day planned. First stop - a Valentine's party!

Amelia made herself at home with the girly dress-up stuff:


Such a little princess:


Playing with the other kids - she LOVED this catch-the-butterfly game!


Second stop - we went to Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa's house for a visit!


Amelia enjoyed hanging out with them, and entertaining them with her antics.

She disappeared for a little while, and we knew where she'd be.... hiding in the bed in Grandma Cathy's old room:


Third stop was at Uncle Jeff's house. It was cousin Monica and aunt Laura's birthday celebration, so we hung out there for a couple of hours for play time and cake!

Fourth stop - Grandpa Larry's house for a quick nap. He'd been hanging out with us since stop 2.

Last stop - Dinner with Joey's family! These two hadn't seen each other in a few months, but they picked up where they left off!


And then it was time to head back home, after a long, FUN day!

Sunday 2/6

I think we took it pretty easy this day, due to all the activity on Saturday. We did not make it to church in the morning.

Enjoying a snack with Daddy after naptime (hence the crazy, comfy pants):


I think Amelia had started noticing by then that I was taking less pictures, because on both Monday and Wednesday, she asked me to take her picture in the morning before she left to go to her Sitter's house:



Friday 2/11

We joined our local Friday dinner group for happy hour dinner. Amelia enjoyed seeing her buddies.

Saturday 2/12

Mostly, we just hung out around the house while Chris got caught up on work.

But we did get away to go to a women's basketball game at Chris's school. Amelia is adored by many members of the team, and the head coach, so she obviously enjoyed herself. And she made a couple other little friends at the game.

Sunday 2/13

The usual Sunday morning pre-church pic. I could not decide which of these was cuter:



Monday 2/14

VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Amelia had a little party at her Sitter's house. When she came home, we had some goodies for her too.

Like a "My Little Pony" coloring book:


Valentine's peeps:


A brand new My Little Pony for her collection:


And a little light-up puppy that says "I ruff you!"


She enjoyed a bit of candy too:


So there you go -- all caught up! Thanks for your patience!
