Memorial Day Weekend 2009

We had a very busy and fun filled weekend! It started for Guiliana and I early Saturday afternoon when we had a playdate with Shelby and Valerie. We were invited to their house for lunch and swimming. Bill made grilled cheese for the kids, which Guiliana thought was the best ever!! (and then Bill added... well isn't this her first?? and yes it was!! LOL but I'm still sure it was the best as she ate the whole thing!)Valerie had cut up some watermelon too and the kids LOVED it. Bill made the adults Chicken Caesar Salads (mine was minus the chicken) he even grilled the lettuce!! They topped off the meal with a margarita. The kids played together for a bit until it was time for swimming. The kids made it about 45 min before they started getting restless. The problem was, they wanted to be "let go" of and so it made it impossible after awhile to hold onto them. We had a great time! We look fwd to more playdates (maybe next time on our end so the kids can play in the blow-up pool and they can move around more) and maybe a girls night for just the "moms".



Then... Saturday night, Guiliana had to run an errand at Fashion Square Mall and at the last minute Debra and her son Kendel, who is 6, ended up going with us. They have a very cute playland there that they kids seemed to really like. Guiliana thought Kendel was hysterical and they were little buddies the whole night. The problem with Guiliana these days is that, she wants to stand all the time and wants you to help her walk. I really feel like her tubes have helped with her sense of balance and coordination and she has really improved in just the last week! All the pictures I took at the mall and before at our house are of her standing. I think she will be walking in the next few weeks :)






Taking steps while holding on!






Cute playland!
