Friday 5/27
In the evening, we had our church small group again.... Amelia and I had a great time! :)
Saturday 5/28
In the morning, Amelia and I ran around for some errands - grocery shopping and such.
Amelia picked out a new friend - a fishy named "Talian" (after what she calls Italy - where Daddy was):
When we got home, we got Talian all set up and she introduced him to a few of her ponies:
Amelia took a little nap, and when she woke up, we had visitors from Texas!!
This is my sister-in-law and two nephews... somehow I failed to get a picture of my brother:
My brother spent some time working on my crashed computer, and the rest of us went for a walk/ride around the block.
At first Amelia was left in the dust:
Then, Ethan let her catch up, and they did a little bumping back and forth:
And he let her take the lead for a while:
When we got back, there was the usual temptation to do the daredevil flying down the back hill in Amelia's car.
Ethan was so careful when it was Amelia's turn. He made sure she had her helmet on, and took her about halfway down, so she wouldn't gain too much speed.
Then, he would let go and run out in front of her, to make sure he could get her stopped before the alley.
An added bit of fun was to put an obstacle in her way (the tricycle), so he could have more reason to save the damsel in distress...
And they repeated this over and over...
Jeremiah wanted a turn!
Before they left, Ethan read Amelia a princess story:
All 3 cousins:
They headed back to my Dad's house. Much later that night, Chris returned from Italy!!!
Sunday 5/29
The best part of this day was when Amelia woke up and saw her Daddy for the first time in 16 days. Her tiny little voice simply said "Daddy." :)
All dressed up for church:
Playing on the drums at church, after the service:
We came home for naps, and then it was time to get up to enjoy the Memorial Day parade.
Still a bit sleepy:
Enjoying the parade (and the candy!)
Such hard decisions.... read the book in her lap or watch television... how about both?
Monday 5/30
Memorial Day!
In the morning, we did a little running around. We went to a big flea market that always happens on this day at a nearby town.
We went to First Watch for brunch after we were done:
Enjoying her chocolate chip pancakes:
Getting all decked out at home later:
Going for a ride on Daddy:
Memorial Day barbecue out back!
Loving the corn!
And then Amelia suited up to play in her pool:
Splashing Mommy:
All done:
It was a GREAT weekend with a nice visit from TX family and then family fun after Daddy came home!!!
