It's Spring!

I am a week behind since I left to Spain last Sunday evening and unfortunately the blog didn't get checked off the to do list before leaving.  It was a nice trip but I am glad to be home and work travel free for at least the foreseeable future!

Last Weekend
Friday - Our good friends Trip & Lori came over for a visit after having not seen them in quite a few weeks.  This shows how icky winter has been since we use to see them almost every Sunday for football games and in the summer Trip/Clint are golfing quite a bit together.  It was nice to see them and share recent travel stories.  Miss M showed off the entire visit :) and we ate some yummy grilled steaks!

Saturday - We had our weekly gym class and Maci loved parachute time.  Clint got some great pics of her reactions!

Later in the day, Miss M got spoiled, what's new?!  We decided it was time to tear down her baby swing, amazing gift from Aunt Christie, but she is far too big now :-(  So to take up that corner of her playroom, we bought her an inflated ball house.  She LOVED playing inside of it, throwing out balls and then (like her mom's OCD) had to rush to pick up all the balls and throw them back in, just to do it all over again a few moments later!

While shopping for her ball house. . . we wasted time in the checkout trying on a variety of sunglasses. . . she thought she was very cool!

While I was gone in Barcelona most of this week (Sunday evening - Thursday evening), Clint did his amazing husband/daddy duty and sent me several pictures of Miss M.

So then I had to share some pics of my week. . .

I got over my jet leg much better from Europe than I had from Asia, I guess to be expected.  Friday was a busy/productive day at work followed by my good friend from Sidney plant days, Jim visiting. He was in town for work and we got to benefit from his last night in town.  He was very thoughtful and brought Clint his favorite shake as an early bday present, me an ice cream sandwich and Maci an adorably soft bunny (her 4th sleeping buddy)!  It was great to catch up with him over basketball, our brackets are DONE!

Saturday we had gym (fun as usual) and then errands/family nap time.  Come dinner we went out for Clint's birthday with two of our couple friends and their toddlers who are Maci's gym friends (Natalie/Harper).  Harper's parents (Halston/John) have been talking about Acapulco for some good Mexican food and so we finally had a reason to try it out.  It was quite yummy and the kids were really good.  They even danced to the 80's in the bar area for a bit before we left before their bed time.

Today was AMAZING weather!  Spring has sprung, finally!  It was in the low 60s and so nice.  We knew it was going to be great and with Clint's birthday being on a Monday, we celebrated all weekend long instead.  We ran some errands in the morning after sleeping in a bit.  At 1p we met up with the same friends from dinner last night for a day at the zoo, they also have memberships!  The kids had fun and we can't wait to do this more in the summer once the farm area with the petting zoo opens back up, only 2 more days!!!  We can't wait for this city to come to full life again, such an awesome city in full bloom!  We wrapped up the evening with a long walk around our neighborhood before dinner/bedtime.

Miss M went to bed about an hour early tonight and felt a little warm, please say some prayers she isn't coming down with anything, especially since Clint is off to DC Tues-Thurs of this week!  UGH

Have a great week!
Lots of Love,
C, K & M
