Finally, a normal weekend for us! Last weekend we were all excited about the end of tax season, but now life is back to normal, so we just enjoyed the weekend.
On Friday, I left the office at 4; I love that our office now officially closes at 4. I picked up Mia when I got home and took her to Target with me. Lily stayed at home with Ryan. Mia is at one of my favorite ages, so I absolutely love getting one on one time with her now. She pointed out every ball she could find (it's amazing how many balls Target has) because she loves to play with balls. She sat contently in the buggy, snacking on some crackers and occasionally squealing. She's such a sweetheart. We finished our shopping and went home where Lily was thrilled to see her new "Minnie Mouse flip flops." She loves them and has asked to wear them every day since Friday night.
About 7 our friend Nancy came over to keep the girls so we could enjoy a dinner out with our friends, Jennifer and Anthony. Jennifer and Ryan have been friends since elementary school, and we quickly became friends when Ryan and I started dating at Samford. She and Anthony have been dating for a few months now, so we were thrilled that they were coming to Atlanta for the weekend, and we could meet him. We met at Pricci, and enjoyed catching up with Jennifer and meeting Anthony. We hope to have the chance to do it again soon!
On Saturday morning, Ryan and Lily went to run some errands which ended in a trip to Chuck E Cheese. Lily again loved the big horse racing ride and rode it about 15 times. Mia and I had fun at home; we ate, read books and played kitchen. After the girls' afternoon naps, we went to US Cafe for dinner and then went to explore Costco. We're not members there, but we just wanted to stay out for a bit, so we thought we would explore there. It was a calm and relaxing day.
Sunday morning we went to church and then had lunch with our friends, Wendy and Wendel. They announced in Sunday School that they are expecting their first child so we had lots to talk about! We all took afternoon naps when we got home and then we went to McKayla's birthday party Sunday evening. She will be 10 in just a few days - wow! It was a small family party because she had her friends party the weekend before. All the kids had fun playing together; they have a fun playground, trampoline, train set, kitchen set and play-dough area the girls couldn't get enough of. We always enjoy getting to spend time with our family. Happy birthday McKayla!
All that to say, it's so nice that life has returned to normal!
