Amelie’s first trip to the park

Amelie loves to spin, be thrown in the air, dance, shake and anything else that involves motion – so I knew she was going to love the park. We were able to arrange a play date with our friends Brooke, Eli and Cade and headed out for some fun. First the swing; there is a chance she would have let me push her until my arm fell off.

Cute Cade on the swing next to her.

Nadia and Eli – big kids doing big kid stuff. (amazed they posed for a photo)

Next up she tried the merry go round (or whatever it’s called) .  She really had a great time on this and the funny thing was watching Nadia and Eli compete for who was the fastest pusher.

Here is a video:

Then we headed over to a new Chick Fil A for lunch. It was such a nice morning with friends we had not seen since January. We are going to miss you guys so much when you move!

Meeting new people

I want to start my saying that we don’t have a photo for all the new people Amelie has met, but we did have some. In between the sickness and what-not we have had a chance to introduce Amelie to many new people.

Her Great Grammie is continuing the weekly playdate tradition, but now with 2 girls!

She has also met Mike’s sister Sharon and her cousin Gwen who were here last week for Sharon’s work trip.  She met Mike’s mom right away when we took stuff to the Assisted Living place. Plus a whole bunch of people from church. I am sure the list is longer and I am forgetting others so please forgive me. I really wanted to get these cute photos up though 🙂
