Our weekend started off pretty relaxed and low key. We’ve been shifting things around and it seems like each room hasn’t quite recovered. The day after Christmas we got rid of our TV. Not on purpose, but just more because we never really used it and it took up a ton of space. I only kind of miss Oprah. Friday we spent time reading and sipping on hot beverages – it’s the new us apparently.
Saturday brought my parents and Sparky to visit. They got to see Maggie play in the Radio Flyer up and down the hall and I’m pretty sure my dad wished that he had ear plugs because Maggie would not tone down her squeals of glee.
Sunday we braved the roads and headed to A-Town to celebrate Midge’s Birthday – Happy Birthday, Grandma! – and my aunt Nancy had brought some old home videos of all the cousins. It was hilarious to watch and also really sweet at the same time. The highlight, by far, was a snippet of my older brother bustin’ a move. I laughed so hard I was crying. I think as a teacher I would have really enjoyed him…
On our way back home we stopped to meet Jeff and Jill’s new baby, Jenna. She is SO, SO sweet and perfect. Maggie was really tired by this time and quietly played with some of Jeff’s old toys. At one point Jeff put Jenna down next to Maggie for a photo, and Maggie bopped her on the head. Luckily, Jenna slept through the whole thing.
Once we got home it was bath time and snooze time. Well, we wanted it to be snooze time, but Maggie had a different idea. She threw a party for a while and we sipped on tea and talked about our weekend and potential snow.
