We've had a great weekend. Everyone is feeling pretty good and I got my flu shot on Friday to ward off any more plague-like illnesses. Yesterday we took Mabel to her first birthday party, next door at our neighbor's, Robin and Rodges. Their little boy, Aidan, was turning three. We have known Aidan since before he was born and we called him The Peanut. He is one of our favorite kiddos. He loves to help Dylan water the plants in the summertime. The rain held off just long enough for the kids to run around in the backyard and hunt for pumpkins. We walked over with Mabel in the snuggli and she was happy as a clam - here she is with Dylan as we headed out.
Today we took a little road trip and headed to Shepherdstown to visit Dylan's folks and his Granny. Mabel snoozed for maybe 20 minutes in the car on the way there and then was wide awake and ready to charm her Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Tom. They were very impressed with how well she holds up her head now and looks all around. This was also the first day Mabel has worn shoes, which of course is a very big day. She seemed a little confused by the shoes, mainly because they hampered her ability to shove her foot in her mouth every seven minutes. (Shoes visible in picture of Mabel and Granny.) She watched a little bit of the Redskins game with Grandma and then we watched the end of the game over at Granny Lib's.
I cannot figure out how to get the pictures to line up with the words ... this technology baffles me sometimes. At any rate, the pictures of the top are from our day in Shepherdstown. Mabel with her dad, Granny and Grandma Sandy. And me.
