Weekend Wrap Up

Whew – what a weekend! On Friday evening we met Grandma & Grandpa, Aunt C and cousins A, Big S and Little S at Chuck E. Cheese’s! This was our first time meeting Little S, and Amelia was enthralled with her newest cousin. It was so neat watching her with Little S – she kept pointing and saying Baby! Friday night was also Amelia’s first time at Chuck E. Cheese’s, and she had a blast.

On Saturday morning Grandma came down to pick up Amelia and Shelby – Amelia got to play with her cousins all day! She even went to her first parade, and Grandma tells me that Amelia waved to every single person she saw! While Amelia was having fun with Grandma, Aunt C and her cousins, we were doing something entirely different. Mark, Rick (one of Mark’s good friends), Grandpa and I moved just about all of our things from the condo to our new apartment! It was so much work, and we are very grateful to have had Rick and Grandpa help us with all of the heavy lifting and for climbing up and down the stairs countless times. We are also extremely thankful for Grandma and Aunt C for watching Amelia so that we could get moved in.

By 10 PM on Saturday Mark and I were asleep on our feet, but we still got up bright and early on Sunday morning for another trip down to the condo to pick up some of the last of our things. We came back home and unpacked as much as we could, and then had supper with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt C and cousins A, Big S and Little S. After supper everyone came back to see the apartment and take a dip in the pool. Right now Mark and I are watching fireworks on TV (I didn’t even remember it was the fourth of July until this afternoon), resting up for another long day of moving/cleaning/furniture assembly tomorrow.
