Hanging out at home, Stettler, and Edmonton

We didn't leave our house last weekend:). We had our small group over on Friday night, our friends Shaun and Sharon over for dinner on Saturday, and our friends Bobbi and Jer over for lunch on Sunday. It was a fun weekend! They both have babies around 6 months give or take, and Lynsey is usually quite motherly towards them:). Gavin looks a bit annoyed in the one picture, but she really does like him a lot and wants to carry him around like she does her dolls!

Lynsey and I went to Stettler on Tuesday to visit with Mary and her boys. It was a great day! I was so worried about doing the drive alone in the morning, because Lynsey never naps in the morning now, but she did actually sleep for about 40 minutes! Then she just chilled out for a while, got a bit restless for a while, but a cup of snacks kept her happy all the way to Stettler so I was so RELIEVED! We were outside ALL DAY! Lynsey loved it! What a fun backyard they have compared to ours:). To cap off the day, we went to the pool, where Lynsey wore me out completely. I take her to the pool here quite often, but the one we usually go to has a toddler pool where I can just let her loose. In Stettler, it's just a graduated entry pool and I had to hover over her the whole time. She just ran in the water and fell face first a hundred times - all part of the fun for her! She was very high maintenance, but had a blast, so good for her! All in all, it was a great day at Mary and Dave's house!

We went to Edmonton this past weekend and had a really good time! We spent some time with Patrick and Jamie and Jordan and Krista, and even though it was absolutely freezing outside, Lynsey would not be deterred from another fun yard. She would have stayed in that car swing all night, we think. Poor girl was so cold, but she didn't care! We were going to head to Westlock on Sunday to visit Ryan and Ruthy, but then it started SNOWING and so we decided to head home while it was still light outside. Turned out to be a good decision, because there were a few sections on Highway 2 that weren't very good, and it was getting worse. Dumb "Spring" weather!

Not much new with Lynsey's development - her vocabulary continues to increase, and she's had a few more tantrum-like episodes. I think I'm learning how to deal with them, but we'll see if it ever happens in public! We are just waiting for the good weather now so we can enjoy the summer . . . come quickly!!!
