Grandparents & Girlfriends

Last Monday morning Daniel boarded and early flight to Houston, a trip we did not look forward to, but we were VERY busy in his absence. My parents visited from Monday morning ‘til Wednesday morning, we swam with friends Wednesday afternoon then went straight to Maggie’s PT at Hand In Hand, had a play date Thursday early afternoon then visited friends Thursday night and welcomed daddy home Friday. Whew! I also had work to do but only completed a few reports here and there the first few days because of said busyness so I got most of it done later in the week and over the weekend.
I was happy to receive a call from my mom week before last asking to visit Monday morning until Tuesday afternoon because I enjoy seeing them and I knew this would ease the burden of being alone with two kids. They asked me not to tell Will, they wanted to surprise him and Sunday night we found out Kyle could come too! We did some shopping – of course – cooking, going out to eat, swimming and watching movies. It was a good time. They were supposed to leave Tuesday after lunch but my mom was able to get off Wednesday so they stayed an extra day!

Not the surprised look we were expecting

Paga is so funny!

My parents left Wednesday morning after breakfast and I packed up the kids to meet friends at the pool. My girl friends, Jen & Amy along with their 6 combined teenage and pre-teen girls invited us to join them for a swim day. We had a lot of fun but  didn’t get to stay too long ‘cause Maggie had PT. The therapists usually come to us, but every once in awhile we have to go there. She was a little fussy because it was nap time, but she still worked really hard and even took some supported steps with Marliese (don’t get too excited, she’s not about to walk or anything)!  Didn’t get many pics at the pool and most people don’t want bathing suit pictures online, so I’ll skip those. But here’s Maggie in therapy:

Our play date Thursday was equally enjoyable, so much so that Will did not want to leave. But we did and got home just a couple hours before we left for my girls night. Jen volunteered her girls to watch Will and Maggie so I was able to socialize for a little while.
