Just as the Mondays in the past few weeks, this one was very busy! This Monday started early around 10 am to meet Stephanie(my non-blood cousin) her husband Peter and baby Donovan for a visit. Donovan's first birthday was yesterday so it was neat spending his birthday with him! I cant believe he is a year old already, he is taking a few steps and mastered stair climbing while at my moms!! It was so nice to catch up in person, as they live in Albany and we usually stay in touch via phone and email. But I think in the upcoming years more visits will be on the docket because Im sure Riley and Donovan will enjoy playing!
I actually had a stuffed dog that Stephanie gave me when I was little that was hers, she had gotten from the speedway when she was young. All these years Ive kept "Mitzy" around, not sure why, but I just couldnt part with it, so I decided to pass it down to Donovan. Of course when Stephanie opened it, she started crying(this is very normal for her), but it was a very cool moment, and hopefully Donovan will hang on to Mitzy to maybe pass down to Riley some day!
After the big boy had lunch they packed up and left, and I headed out to meet Jen for lunch. My last lunch with Jen before going back to work. Which Riley slept the entire time, so Jen and I had a great lunch and a lot of girl talk. Then it was off to the Thrift Shop which always has awesome kids clothes, I ended up getting Riley 8 different things, all name brands, Old Navy, Gap, Carters and Childrens Place for $15!!! Cant beat it, especially when they grow out of everything so fast and this stuff is BRAND NEW condition!
Just when I thought I would head home, I realized that Roo probably needed a feeding and diaper change, so back to Grandma and Grandpas! They are the usual stop for this, as their house is on the way home to ours. So she ate, I ate dinner with the fam and chatted w/my dad and brother while her and Grandma played. It was nice having dinner as the old family! Finally at 8:15 I pulled back in our driveway after a day of being out and about. Its nice getting out of the house, but I was exhausted by the time we got back, but I am enjoying these days since they are numbered and wont be happening when I go back to work in less then a week!
