We had a terrific weekend! Debbie came to visit for the weekend, which was so much fun. Maggie Grace and I picked her up late Friday night. Nana and Maggie Grace didn't get much time to chat, but Saturday morning came quickly. Saturday was a nice and easy kind of day. The morning started out like all of our mornings with Maggie Grace playing hard. This morning she had a nice treat because Nana was there to play with her. I told Debbie that Maggie Grace would go down for a nap around nine or so. Sure enough at nine MG crawled into Nana's lap and fell fast asleep. After MG woke up from her nap we decided to hit the mall to get Ben's Birthday present. We had so much fun looking around. We went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and MG was in heaven, there must have been two to three children at the table next to ours. She had so much fun watching them. After lunch we did a bit more window shopping. I decided not to belt her into her stroller and what a surprise Nana and I received. MG decided she was through laying in her stroller and wanted to look around and decided she would stand up in her stroller. It was so funny, what a little character. After the mall, we headed to Target and picked up all kinds of wonderful goodies. We decided to call it a day and head home, we were simply exhausted.

Sunday was another busy day. We were able to get a little play time in before taking Nana to the airport. We dropped Nana off at the airport and decided to stick around because Grandpa was coming in from China. His flight was a bit late, and two hours turned into four, but we had a great time people watching. Finally, Grandpa's flight arrived and we headed home. MG had fun playing with Grandpa and listening to him tell us all about his trip to Vietnam.

We had such a great weekend, if only they all could be so much fun!

Just a quick little post so you can see what Maggie Grace did this morning. After we completed our wake-up routine, I went into the office to check a few things on the computer. Maggie Grace's room is right across the hall so I can keep pretty good tabs on her when in the office. I heard her bedroom door open and so I went to check and see what was going on, well she was already crawling through the hall to join me in the office. We keep a few toys and such in the office so she can play happily while we work. One thing that she loves to do is run her nails back and forth on the screen on the shredder. If I were a child I can imagine that this would be a lot of fun, it makes a great noise and feels really neat. Well, she had been standing next to the machine for a few minutes playing, and evidently had grown weary of standing. She pulled a file folder over and was sitting on it and playing. I couldn't believe it, man I have my work cut out for me in keeping one step ahead of her.

Have a great day!
