Fun weekend!

This past weekend was great! Friday night we entertained Grandpa and Chris for dinner. It was nice to have them over and for us all to get to spend time together. Anna was the life of the party having had a late afternoon nap, she stayed up until 10! She was crawling around and giggling. She has a game of liking to be chased or chasing others. If she sees that you are "going to get her" she takes off as fast as she can so you can't catch her. :) She also enjoys chasing too.
Saturday, Matt and I spent the day with Anna just doing things around the house and then we took her for a bit of "out and about" time because the weather was BEAUTIFUL! I dutifully did my running and was so glad to not have to bundle up in layers for my training. I am running a race on March 13th so I only have a few more weeks of training left!
Saturday night, Aunt Becca and Grandpa so graciously agreed to babysit our sweet girl so that we could go out for a "date night" downtown. We had gotten a call from some of the people we graduated high school with and they were going to be downtown and wanted to get a group together.
The weather was just as great Sunday, so we spent as much time out in it as possible. We met some of my family for a lunch out and Anna really enjoyed that. She is big into finger feeding so she was nice and messy by the time we were ready to leave. It was hilarious! Thank goodness for baby wipes....they are great!
I was so excited to see my sister...she is now beginning to show in her pregnancy which is so amazing! I can't wait until March so we can find out whether I will be having a niece or a nephew!

Carolina Snow Day!

We are enjoying the SC snow day!!!! We are in the process of getting at least 3-5 inches here in SC and boy is it beautiful! We couldn't resist the urge to bundle up and go out in it a bit!

My two Valentines!!!!

Mommy and her sweet girl!

Look at those beautiful eyes.

We were a bit caught off guard for this photo :)

Our backyard.....poor Bandit was dragging bottom!

The weekends go by too fast!

This weekend has gone by so fast! First of all "Congrats" to the Saints! I am so thrilled that they won. I have been a fan since Brees started and I am so glad they had such a fantastic season. Now, on to the weekend affairs. Saturday, Anna and I hitched a ride with Matt's parents to Charleston to see family. We all had a great day of laughing, playing Wii, and eating Baroni's!

Today, I spent the day doing some things around the house and playing with Anna. She is all over the place and pulling up on most things. I imagine it won't be too much longer before she will be standing on her own and walking. It is hard to believe! She is such a delight!

Here is Anna at Aunt Rose's!

A sleepy Anna getting ready for a trip to Target.

This is what she does now for nap time......did I mention she has decided that she is "too big" for morning naps now?!?! :D

I had a couple people email me and request a video of her crawling so here it is!

We had a great weekend! Saturday Anna and I went out to lunch with Collins and Jean! We went to Tabouli downtown and then went shopping a bit as well. I was also thrilled that Matt got off work Saturday due to the "weather". Ha! The park service ended up closing the park early so he got to come home! Yay! So, Sunday we went to family night dinner and Anna had her first "real" meal. She had baked ziti...and loved it! She was probably wondering why we had been feeding her all that gross stuff for months. :)
