Daddy's in the Big Easy!

This past week Clint was in New Orleans for an ASIS Conference with work.  He left us on Sunday afternoon and returned Thursday night after Maci's bed time.  Mommy loved her 1:1 time with Maci girl but between a crazy busy week at work and Maci having a bit of an icky cold, I was VERY ready for daddy to come home and lighten the load!

While daddy had some fun along with work in the warm weather.  Maci girl had a busy week at daycare!  They started their "what am I thankful month" and Maci was able to paint with ethnic colored paint.  I laughed really hard though because Maci painted her self portrait with probably the darkest skin paint available.  I told the daycare she doesn't realize that she will never even have a tan =)

 Then on Tuesday Maci got to have a super fun day.  They let her go into the Toddler room and watch Costume Kim.  She is a service that comes out about every other month to the center, wears different costumes and entertains the kids.  Usually this is only for toddlers and up because they have a high enough attention span.  I guess one of the daycare workers thought Maci too could sit through and enjoy the demonstration.  Check out how into it Miss Maci was :)  Costume Kim even asked "is she from the infant room?  I can't believe how attentive she is!"  Our crazy Maci girl!

Midway through the week our work offered the 11th annual Turkey Trek 5k run/walk during the middle of the day.  It was a nice way to break up a stressful week and while I don't run, it was good to get the lungs going on a chilly MN afternoon.

Lastly, Daddy got home on Thursday night, just in time for a relaxing/fun weekend with his family.  Miss Maci does nothing but perfect her walking anymore so she was excited for a weekend of playing/walking too!  Daycare took these pics of our lil bug walking around the center!

Have a good week everyone - can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving!

Lots of Love,
