Awesome Day!

Well, I didn't rest again today, but it was an awesome day anyway!  :D 

I didn't really sleep in, I was actually awake before 7am.  I did, however, get to wake up slowly, read some baby articles on my phone, catch up on facebook and my email, and blog a little.  :)  It was after 8 before Avery was awake.  She was probably up earlier, but we mistakenly had the monitor on mute, so I didn't hear her until she was pounding on her bedroom door to be freed.  ;)

When Avery got up she came into our room to find her Daddy and wake him up.  Of course, like every Saturday morning, he was still in bed.  So she climbed in bed and we turned on some Tinkerbell.  While the two of them watched and woke up, I took a shower.  Then when I was done and the movie was over, I made Avery some breakfast and Michael got a shower.

It wasn't long after that when my parents showed up.  Daddy and Michael got to work on the closet in Nate's room.  Mama and I took Avery and went to run some errands and stay out of the house (where lacquor was supposed to be sprayed after the shelves were done).  First, we went to Sherwin Williams where we got some stain samples to try to match our kitchen cabinets to our pantry that's being built soon.  :D!!!!!!  Then, we went to Gymboree where Mama got Avery and Dayton each a new outfit and Avery some new sunglasses.  We didn't really have anything else to do until our pedicure appointment, so we went to Sams and picked up a few things, including lunch supplies.

Finally, we were headed home again.  Avery fell asleep in the car.  She hadn't shown any indication that she was even tired!  :P  I got her into her bed without waking her up, but ended up waking her when I tried to take her shoes off.  Despite giving her milk and trying to get her to keep sleeping, she refused. 

We had Kippy Burgers, grilled pineapple, and chips and dip for lunch!  Yum!  Then, Mama and I left with Sis to go get manicure/pedicures!  :)  We all picked BEAUTIFUL shades of coral/orange/pink!  Sooooo pretty!  :D  After Sis dropped us back off Mama and I grabbed Avery and headed to Grandma Heorman's (to stay away from the fumes, and because we would end up there to cut trim pieces). 

Avery fell asleep again in the car.  This time we got her successfully to the pack and play without waking her up.  ;)  She still didn't sleep for very long before we heard her making noises.  Buddy heard her too, and since we hadn't latched the bedroom door closed, he nosed his way in and said hi.  We knew he was in the room when we heard her say "Buddy".  :P  Michael and Daddy got over and we sat around for a bit and chatted.  But Michael and I had other plans for the evening, so it wasn't long before we were on the road again.  *sigh*  (Getting to be a long day)

Our next stop was in Bel Aire where we met up with 5 other couples who used to go to Cru with us.  Of the 5 couples, 4 of them met and married their significant others from Cru!  Michael and I made 5 out of 6!  I guess it's a good organization to meet your spouse!  :P  One of the couples, Justin and Becca, live in Blue Springs, MO.  Since they made the trip to Wichita, we all got together to see them.  Unfortunately, after my long day, I was tired and ready to go after not too much visiting.  :(  It was good, however, to see everyone again, if only for an hour or so.

Finally, we made it home.  :)  We played and Avery had a bath.  We tried to put her down for the night, but she's not quite ready, so we're just waiting now for her to finally throw in the towel.  ;)  I'm exhausted, but I had a great day!  Avery was well-behaved, I didn't work on any housework all day, I got to spend the day with my mom and a little with my sister, and I got to see some friends from out of town whom I haven't seen in years!  :D  Overall, it was a very good day. 

And of course, to make things more interesting, the bottle of wine we received when Avery was born just exploded...  Details to follow...
