Tummy Time

All the Way from Minnesota

This past weekend Patrick's "work spouse" from grad school, Caleb, and his wife, Christina, came to visit all the way from Minnesota. We went to the historic downtown of Manassas for lunch and then did part of a walking tour of the Manassas battlefield.

She thinks the information is entertaining

Madeline enjoyed the walk too!

Amelia took right to the cannons

But was not a fan of sharing her cannon with Madeline

Is a cannonball or Madeline more dangerous?

We LOVE playing Settlers with the Funks and were determined to do so, using the kiddos as a resource :) In the end, Caleb won. We officially challenge them to a rematch during our next visit.

Caleb & Christina watched Amelia while we went out and also let us get some housework done. It was great!

Caleb & Madeline showed us all the tricks that can be done with wood floors and a 14 month old. 

Thanks Funks for coming to visit! We hope it won't be long until we see you soon!



Amelia's Favorite Things

Cooing

Napping in the swing - Waking up is hard!

Auburn Tigers of course!

Blowing raspberries

Bathtime! As evidenced by the multiple photos, Amelia LOVES her baths. In fact, she melts down when I take her out.

For Uncle Nathan - I worked hard to get this one!

Getting her diaper changed

Hanging out while Mommy showers. The sound is soothing



Uncle Nathan & Aunt Laura Come to Visit!

This past weekend, Amelia's Uncle Nathan and Aunt Laura came to visit. Once again, two cameras produced a lot of great photos!

Aunt Laura helped Amelia go from just standing to walking around.

More flying around!

Aunt Laura helped Amelia with her tummy time

Uncle Nathan distracted Amelia from the dreaded burping by "buzzing" and she was fascinated. She started trying to buzz her lips all day after they left.

Burping is a group effort sometimes!

We had a blast and hope they come to visit again soon! Amelia is getting spoiled on the weekends!
