Our Weekend

 

1. My baby girl turned 14 months over the weekend. Avy's such a gem with her huge cheesy grins and her determination to climb everything in sight.  She has started giving out kisses more willingly recently. Her kisses go something like this: "mmmmmmmauh" followed by a big, wet kiss on the lips. It makes mine and Steven's heart stop every time. Such a sweetie she is!

2. She climbed onto the couch to read a book by herself. Another one of those moments where I'm thinking: she can't being doing that yet, she's too young!

3-4. Steven and I have a love for (extra) buttery popcorn. We sometimes make popcorn out dinner. YUM!! 

5. Went to the store to exchange some jeans and somehow in the end they owed me money. I used it to buy my first Aztec piece of clothing. I kinda love it! 

6. Steven was able to go to an antique mall this weekend (lucky), and picked up a few treasures. One was this amazing red wing crock. He's so sweet to think of me! The other was a huge whitetail rack that was glued to the bottom of a seat and used as a bench! Needless to say, it's a bench no longer :) 

7-8. Went on our first family walk as well this weekend. Avy was obsessed with the drains in the street. I'm sure people thought we were nuts bringing our daughter all over the road to look at these things! But hey, she's never seen them before! 

9. This was my view all Sunday. I got struck with the icky stomach bug that has been going around. First time I've been sick in forever, and I didn't miss it. It caused me to have a renewed compassion on the sick. Yuck!

Our Weekend

1. Our "weekend" started on Thursday because of Steven's surgery. He had to have his fingers repaired from the accident that happened a few years back. They went in and took out some nail beds and chiseled down some bone. Everything went as planned and as far as we know it was successful.

2. Avalyn was all over Steven while he recovered at home. She is one to never sit still so it was so sweet to see her cuddle him so much. She plopped right up on the couch and they "talked" and played silly games.

3. Another adorable shot of Avalyn with Steven. She wanted him even while he was sitting at the table.

4. We took a quick trip to Hibbing to run a few errands. We ate out at Pizza Ranch (awesome), and did a few things for Skullworks.

5. One of the things we did in Hibbing was pick up the company sweatshirts! They turned out way better than we expected. So happy to see my husband's business starting to grow. Can't wait to see where it  goes in the future.

6. In Avalyn's efforts to want to be with daddy all the time, she learned to climb the couch. Not sure if I should be happy or sad at that milestone. Let's just say she's already had a few tumbles and her newest desire is to climb the back of the couch and to go as high as she possibly can...

7. Steven's fingers after he removed the bandages. 20-something stitches in three fingers.

8. Gitona and I made cinnamon roll waffles in the waffle maker--topped with cream cheese icing. Amazing.

9. It was finally warm enough to venture out on a walk. We left daddy home to rest and took a stroll around the neighborhood. This was much needed for me as I have had the worst case of spring fever. There's just something about going outside and breathing the fresh air that leaves one revitalized.
