Being Silly

An Afternoon with Friends

Today we got together with some of our college friends from the Newman Center. We have been getting together with them 1 or 2 times a year since graduation. For this reunion we decided to go to mass at Newman Center where we all met and then have lunch at Ben and Kyle's. This was the second time we have had the kids together and it was so much fun to see them all play together! It was a fun afternoon with good food and great company!

Eagle's Nest

The Eagle's Nest is an indoor play area near our house in New Brighton. We like to go there about once a month and it is a great place for Addie to let out some energy in the winter. It's so nice because it's clean and they have a separate area for kids 3 and under. Today Addie spent about a half an hour straight climbing up these little stairs and then saying, "Set, set, go!" and running off them. It was so funny I couldn't help but take a video!

Happy Valentines Day!

We had a fun filled Valentines weekend! On Saturday we took Addie to the MOA to go on her first rides! I brought her on the train first. She seemed a little unsure during most of the ride, but by the end she kept saying, "more choo choo!". Next it was Brian's turn. He brought her to the carousel and she looked so excited with all the different animals to choose from. She decided to ride on a giraffe, but once they got there, she got scared and burst into tears. We didn't see any other rides there for her, so it was back to the train for more, which made Addie happy.


On Valentine's Day we went to the zoo. Addie's favorite activity that day was playing in the play room and dressing up as different animals. Later that night we were able to go out to dinner with a family date to Punch Pizza.

It was a wonderful day and weekend spent with those I love the most. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

What We've Been Up To...

It has been about a month since my last post, which is not due to the lack of events to blog about, but due to how busy we have been! Here is a summary of the past month for the Corbett's:

Trips to the zoo and walks to the park - Addie is becoming very independent and insists, "me walk!" whenever we leave the house. The zoo has been a great way for us to get some of this walking in during the cold weather. On warmer days we like to walk to the park. We have found a nice little spot for sledding and she also likes to spin on the ice.



Trips to urgent care - In about the past month we have made our first two visits to urgent care. The first was for a dislocated elbow and the second was for a fractured toe. Our very healthy child is starting to prove herself to be quite accident prone! It has been heartbreaking to see her in so much pain, but the good news is she is starting to realize the doctor helps to make people better - which should make our healthy visits a little bit easier!

Celebrating Hazel's First Birthday - Hazel is Addie's good friend who lives down the street. We have been friends with her parents for the past 6 years and Hazel and Addie go to daycare together. Her party was a lot of fun and has made Addie excited for her own birthday party which is coming up soon!


Celebrating the soon arrival of a new friend - Our friend Mandy is expecting her second child in the next few weeks. We think our new friend will be a girl named Audrey, but we will have to wait to find out for sure!
