A Fun Weekend!

This weekend Addie and I had a lot of fun with our family and friends. On Saturday we went to Underwater World with Grandma and Grandpa Engstrom. Addie is starting to show signs of her growing independence, and struggled with following the moving sidewalk through the aquarium. The whole time, she wanted to go backwards! So I would pick her up (she would start screaming) and then we would move backwards until we ran into too much traffic and had to run ahead again. Whew!


On Sunday we went over to Grandma and Papa Corbett's for brunch and Addie met her second cousins, Mackenzie and Taylor, and her Great Aunt Kari and Great Uncle Dan. Later that night we made dinner for Ben and Kelly and our new friend, Ruby. This was Addie's first time meeting Ruby, and she seemed to really like her. She is 1 month old now, and was very alert while we were there. It's amazing how well Ben and Kelly are adjusting to life with their adorable little girl!



Then today we went to the zoo with our friends, Mandy, Henry, Megan, Mason, and Cooper. We braced ourselves for disaster with these three toddlers and a newborn, but overall, it was a fun trip! The kids had a blast playing at the park and Addie really enjoyed the butterflies.



In other news, tomorrow I am going to New Orleans to meet Brian after a work trip he had there. This is the longest we will have been away from Addie, so I am feeling sad about leaving her. On the other hand, this is the first time I have been on a plane in over 2 years, so I am really excited about that!
