Man Gave Names to All The Animals

A great weekend all around is in the books. Visits from Aunt Donna, who is staying until Wednesday, and Cousins Em and Steph down from the Big City for the weekend. The weather was fabulous and we took full advantage by heading to the National Zoo. Unfortunately, Lil fell asleep after about an hour of strolling around. Anyway, lots of quality Great Aunt and Cousin time.

Yesterday was highlighted by a detour to Toys R Us where Lil got some new, fun toys. She seems to really enjoy playing with her new Cabbage Patch Kid from Emilie. It is hit ... true to form, she likes taking the baby's socks off and then tries to put them back on.

Other than that, not much new to report. No full sentences or potty training yet. Maybe next week. Marcy and I have a wedding coming up this weekend so Lil is going to get lots of Grandparent time. Grandma Phyllis and Grandpa Maurice are coming over on Friday to babysit and then Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom are hosting a sleepover on Saturday night - I hear smores are on the agenda.

On to the pictures ... we did not take that many this week (Em & Steph really were here to visit) and we will be sure to get a few good ones of Aunt Donna before she heads home. Video next week for sure.
