Adventures in Calgary

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Molly was thinking this morning when she woke up and found out that Grandma Cookie and Grandpa Jim had gone. We had such a great visit with my parents. It really is awesome whenever they come. I think we nearly killed dad with all the house projects but then again...he loves to have stuff to do! Some of the highlights of the visit were learning some new things to make on the BBQ like rotissery chicken, turkey, and bacon wrapped salmon...yum...finishing and filling the front flowerbox with dirt and manure...sweet sweet manure...and organizing all my nails, screws, and drill bits in a brand new organizer my dad got us.

We had a great family dinner Sunday night. Dave and Heather came for the day to help us out with the ceiling fans. Then Noel's mom and Andrew and Jess came for dinner. We even got to eat outside in the backyard for the first time this season. It was great.

Molly is getting more fun by the day. She's loving the new ceiling fans that Uncle Dave and Dad installed in all our upstairs rooms. She sits and stares at them with awe. She's also getting better at grabbing things and interacting with her environment. She's getting much more enjoyment out of the playmat with hanging things. She was having a ball punching the crap out of the octopus yesterday. She loves playing with Aunt Jess's long hair. And I think she's going to start crawling any day now. If she's awake and on her tummy, she's scooting along the whole time. She can't go in a straight line yet but she's getting better and better at going around in circles. We think she might be teething already...although I pray we're wrong. She's been sooooo drooly lately and she has been gnawing on my knuckles, fingers, and arms. She even gave grandma Cookie a hickie!

Today is play group day...perhaps I'll remember to take some pictures this time!
