Spring, Please!



Carly and I ended up making a last minute trip to FG this past weekend. We left Thursday afternoon and spent three nights at my parents' house. On Friday we visited both Mom and Dad's offices and enjoyed being out and about in Springfield. On Saturday almost all of Mom's family came to their house and we had a bbq. It was a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed the visit. The little girls were able to play outside, the big girls shopped for a couple of hours, and the great-aunts babysat. Everyone was happy with the arrangements.




Saturday night Dad, Mom, Jill, Carly, and I went to watch the FG Lady Eagles play - and win - their quarterfinal (basketball) game. The girls play in the state championship tournament here in Columbia this weekend. Their semifinal game is at 7:50 Friday night and they'll play again on Saturday evening. Jon, Carly, and I plan to attend - Carly loves to clap during the game!

This week we enjoyed the warmer weather on Monday and Tuesday. We are ready for spring to arrive and stay put. I just hope Carly's hair will continue to thicken up and grow so her little head doesn't sunburn so easily!!!

Sneakers!

Carly tried on her new sneakers this afternoon. I wish you could see how much she likes them. She is parading around the house, stomping her feet and clapping. She stomped so hard she lost her balance and fell on her bottom - more than once.


Another good weekend

The weather we had last week was great. Carly and I really enjoyed the few nice days that we had. We went to the park, met some friends to walk at Stephens Lake, and just enjoyed being outside.

My parents were here last weekend. We went shopping and Mom bought Carly plenty of shoes for the spring. She also got a hat and bathing suit. Dad took her on the carousel at the mall and then we all went out for an early dinner on Saturday. It was great having them here. Carly went nonstop and took full advantage of their undivided attention.

Here are a few recent pictures. The sunglasses -
