Friday evening we stayed in... which was great. My niece, Ashley, had called - wanted to come hang out. I love that! We ordered in Chinese... and hung out... lots of giggles and good talk.
Saturday the day started early... Cora didn't sleep well, instantly whiny. Ugh. I left to get my hair cut... so Ryan got to enjoy her on his own! I got home around 9:30... and then I loaded the kids up and we went to a park nearby to celebrate a neighbor girls birthday. It was kind of a gloomy, misty morning... but it worked out. We played for about an hour... well, Kayson played, Cora ran around asking for snacks. Figures. :) Home we went... and nap was taken for Cora. Another short one.
Ryan's parents came to stay with the kids Saturday night... we had a wedding to go to. My friend, Katie, was getting hitched! She was an intern in my area a couple years ago, and we totally hit it off. She's such a great person... fun, caring and a spit-fire. I think Ryan wasn't really interested in going to the wedding, but once we were there, he actually knew a few people... and the table we sat at had some great conversations through the night. It was a lot of fun for us... and nice to get away just us.
Today we slept in a little... just a little. Then I took the kiddos up to Ames to get their pictures taken. 2 year pics for Cora... and hoping for at least one of the two of them together. It got done... and I already have the pictures - pleased. I'll post a few later. The drive up there and back were pretty terrible... my kids just don't do well in the car. Or I should say Cora doesn't do well. She's constantly whining... I just am over it. :) And Kayson talks the ENTIRE TIME. I asked him if he'd like to actually 'listen' to the music... he said yes... that lasted about 30 seconds, then he was talking again. ha. I don't mind the talking, there's just not any silence - ever! ha. :)
Anyway, then Ryan unfortunately had to leave for South Dakota early this afternoon. Oh boy - it was 2:30 and I thought - 'this is going to be a long afternoon!' Cora took another short nap... owly and whiny. She developed a cough overnight... and a snotty nose. SO... watching that. I'm hoping for a good nights sleep... for all of us! I miss Ryan already!!!
Just a few pics from today.
