It's always fun when grandma comes

I love fall! The weather is finally starting to cool off and the days are getting shorter. This is my favorite time of year.

What a busy weekend and week we've had!

Mommy was able to celebrate her 21st (yeah, right!) birthday with her mom who flew in last Thursday night for a quick weekend visit. They spent all day Friday shopping sans Big Guy. It was the first time they were able to spend some alone time together since Big Guy's birth!

Big Guy was so excited to see his "me-maw" and he loved bossing her around. He was constantly telling her to "come here" or "sit down". Too funny! He knows that he's got her just where he wants her and that she'll do what he says. Needless to say, he went through a bit of an adjustment period after she left realizing that mommy and daddy don't play that game.

After attending a friend's baby's baptism Saturday morning, we spent the rest of the day at the zoo with niece Brittany and nephew Erik in tow. Big Guy loved all the animals, and enjoyed growling at them. He ADORES his cousin Brittany and loved the attention he got from her and memaw.

We were all very sad to see memaw leave on Sunday afternoon, especially not knowing when we'll get to see her or grandpa again. It was a great birthday gift though to be with mom.

Mommy got a little sick and had to spend Tuesday morning at the hospital undergoing some REALLY YUCKY tests. The tests were no fun, but looks like everything is ok or manageable, which is good news.

Daddy has been busy working on completing the construction of the patio cover. Given its size, it's quite an undertaking. We'll both be relieved when it's finished. He's been able to get in some golf in-between home projects and has been enjoying playing with his new set of clubs he received from his VERY generous wife. ;)

We've finished the planning for Big Guy's birthday party. His party will be held at a local jump house. Big Guy is really into Curious George right now, so we chose that for his theme. Let's be honest, Big Guy wouldn't have know the difference, so mommy actually got to choose the theme. It is in keeping with what he'll be dressed as for Halloween - a monkey! We ordered an adorable monkey costume that should be arriving any day now. We'll try to post photos of it.

Nothing too excited planned for this weekend - but that's ok. We've had a lot going on and it will be nice to get some things done around the house and catch up with friends.

Hope everyone is well - God bless us everyone!
