LONG Weekend!

We had a very nice weekend down in Iowa visiting our friends, Gunnar and Mary. It was nice to get away, even if for just a few days. Leah spent the weekend with my parents. She also had a great time...she has her Nonna and Grandpa wrapped around her cute little finger (and they know it)! :) My mom had asked her a few weeks ago (before Christmas trees were even up), what she wanted to get Mommy and Daddy for Christmas. She told Nonna that she wanted to get Mommy a ball for the Christmas Tree, and she wanted to give Daddy a picture of her. Adorable. So, this weekend, they went shopping and Leah picked out our presents. When we got to my parents on Sunday night to pick her up, she was too excited to wait, and she had to give us our presents early. So cute. She really is quite precious (no bias here)!



We have had some snow over the last few days. So, yesterday, since it was a fairly decent day (until late afternoon), Leah and I did get in some outside play. We had a good time...shoveling, sledding, snow angels, tag, swinging and sliding! We also were able to meet up with our friend Beth for dinner as she is here for a teaching conference. Fun to see friends that you don't get to see as often as you would like!



Today, Leah and I went swimming at a local hotel, then we went to see Bailey, the new daughter of our friends, Sean and Jody. She is just so precious. Congrats you guys! Leah and Morgan (the older sister- 2.5years) had a great time playing together. They always do! Leah is just waking up from her nap- she was worn out from the morning. We have to get ready for swim class now!

Not ready to return to reality tomorrow. I have had a nice 5 days off, and feel very rested today (even if Leah was up at 6).
