Auntie Stephanie Comes to Play!

We were so happy to have Erik's sister, Stephanie visit for a couple days. She came Wednesday afternoon and left after dinner last night. Thomas loved playing with Steph and soaked up all the extra attention. Stephanie stayed home with Thomas while Erik and I went to my 30 week OB appointment and I was grateful for the opportunity to get groceries without my little "helper." We hope she can come back soon and maybe stay a little longer! 

Yesterday was a beautiful day, we got out for a little sledding in the fresh snow before it melted. By the time we came inside everything was slushy and wet.

 The water running from the downspout was pretty fascinating to Thomas.

It wasn't long before Thomas was trying to figure how to get a drink of that cold water. We had to take his soaky wet clothes off in the garage and hang them in the sun to dry.

My dad was in town for a meeting and was able to come play for the afternoon. He was patiently waiting for Thomas to wake from a nap. After sitting quietly next to Thomas' crib for a few minutes he starting taking phone calls and had a "coughing spell." Had Thomas just gone down I wouldn't have been happy about this but he had already been sleeping for three hours, it was time to wake up!

Grandpa was able to stay for dinner but had to head home shortly after. Thanks for the visit, come back soon! 

Auntie Stephanie also had to leave after dinner. Her stay was short but we sure enjoyed it.

These two like to make "funny" faces! Thanks for the visit and all your help, Steph!
