Another Lazy Weekend

Wow.. two weekends in a row at home.. or is it three? I lose count anymore. At any rate, it was nice and relaxing. We all squeezed in a little of what we wanted: Don rode his bike so hard he wrecked it, Kate bounced and squealed and bounced and squealed and bounced and .. well .. you get it, I shopped a little and ran. We also shopped for plants to add to the new landscaping, tried out a new church/Sunday School class, and Don's parents visited! That sure sounds busy.. but it wasn't really. We even managed to team up and clean the house (while Kate napped). Thank you Lord, for baby naps. :) Now we're getting ready for a new week.

Kate took a nice long nap after church. Here she is in her church clothes showing off her skills (pulling up on the side of the crib).

Grandma and Grandpa Meredith came and brought a Sock Monkey and Elephant. They're quite a funny pair.

Standing up with a little help from Dad. Don't know if she'll ever crawl, but would walk tomorrow if she could!

Cutie. Doesn't it look like there's an elephant on her head?

Sat out in the heat as long as we could bear it, enjoying the new patio.

Hanging out with Grandma.

Don and his Dad.

Sharing her 1974 death-trap walker with elephant. This is a legendary walker, and not only because I used it! Apparently Courtney took a nose dive in this one, and several of my other cousins used it as well. Kate likes it, but can currently only go backwards. They don't sell them anymore.. something about being dangerous, folding up on kids, falling down stairs.. blah blah blah. Kate's a rebel.

Pointing, probably at a dog or cat.
Cleaned up and ready for bed. She's a pampered baby, sitting around in her robe.
