The Friday before a long weekend is always the best kind! The past week has been a busy one. On Saturday, Aunt Kristen came over to visit with Gwen for the day (this pic is from a while ago, but I forgot to take one while she was here).
Justin went over Rob & Stevie's to bottle beer that we all made (first attempt) a few weeks ago. It has been fermenting, and will be ready to drink this weekend! Pics of the process and end result to come...
We went to an art festival on Sunday where we met a bunch of great local artists. I carried Gwen in the Moby - it was the longest I've had her in the Moby wrap and I really enjoyed it. She stayed awake most of the time, just looking around at all of the people and artwork. 
On Monday, we met up with Stevie, Morgan, and Rena Lynn at a playground near their house. The weather was supposed to be warm so we wanted to take advantage. Turns out it was chilly at the playground so we didn't stay for too long, but here's a pic of the girls helping me push Gwen in her stroller.
After that, we went to a local cafe for some coffee and treats. Gwen had a lot of fun hanging out with the girls! It was so nice out by the time we got home, that we decided to take a little nap on the porch :)
Tuesday was a grocery shopping kind of day, nothing much to report. We were supposed to go to the zoo on Wednesday with some moms and kids from a group I found on meetup.com. The trip ended up getting cancelled because of rain (bummer), so we met some other moms and their kids out for coffee and breakfast. There was a good range of babies and toddlers, and Gwen met a friend who is 3 days older than she is. The moms were very nice, and we're looking forward to more get togethers. Later that afternoon, we went to our breastfeeding group. When we first started going, Gwen would mostly sleep through the meetings. Now, she's awake and looking all around at the other babies and moms. She has the best tummy times during these groups because she loves looking around and smiling at everyone.
On Thursday, Gwen and I went to our 2nd week of Mommy & Baby Yoga. I felt like I got a better workout from this class because I knew what to expect, and it really seemed like Gwen was enjoying it.
Nana and Papa S stopped over for dinner on Thursday night, and they came bearing gifts for Gwen's first Easter, here she is modeling one of the headbands they gave her:
Now we're just hanging out and playing until daddy gets home.
Enjoy the weekend!! :)
Nick is making his own beer too! He tried it today and said it was still a little too "cider-y", so it's going to sit awhile longer. Hope you guys have good luck. :) I love all the pics of Gwen, she is so beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI'll let you know how it turns out, Crystal. It was quite the interesting process!! Look for a post on here at some point about it.
ReplyDeleteHi Emily!! I'm glad you found me. Jamie and Donna filled me in a little bit on how you're doing, it's great that you get to see them every once in a while. Thanks so much for sharing your blog - Anna is a doll. So exciting that she's a year old, I can only imagine how the time must have flown right by!
Sounds like a packed week of fun activities. I laughed at "Tuesday was a grocery shopping kind of day, nothing much to report" comment. Love Gwen's new Easter gear. It's exciting to hear how much she's looking all around at new people and things.
ReplyDeleteYes, we're trying to stay busy. It seems like Gwen likes being out and about. We're so looking forward to the summer and taking trips to the beach!! (and hopefully up to VT to see you, fingers crossed)
