Long weekend update (Lots of photos)

Seriously, spending 48 hours at my parents place - we took 90+ photos. Poor Buggy is probably tired of having a camera in her face. I forgot my good camera, so these are all taken with my Point and Shoot.

Things went pretty much according to plan. We got there Saturday afternoon and grabbed an early dinner at Trejo - yum! My sister also came to town for Sat. and early Sun. to see the Bug. After Trejo we changed Buggy into her halloween attire and roamed the streets in the chilly night air to visit the homes of my mom's friends in the neighborhood. The parents' house is in a much more rural area - there are no sidewalks and the streets were really rough to Buggy's ride in her stroller bassinet and she was fussing about the bumpy ride, so I ended up carrying her the entire walk of several several blocks.

we added the bug hat from the ladybug swaddle set that just arrived this week from Aunt Louise - it was perfect to keep her head warm on Halloween.

Saturday night is when the clocks got set back. We were supposed to get an extra hour sleep. Ha ha. Buggy chose to use that extra hour for a 1:15am cry-fest and feeding. Waking everyone in the house up. I think she wasn't used to sleeping in a pack-n-play. Not as spacious as her crib. She woke when she rolled over and faceplanted into the side. Poor Buggy.

Sunday morning was church so mom could show her off to all her peeps there. Their church is brand new and sooooo nice. Mom did one of the readings, and when Buggy heard her voice in the building, she got really still for a moment listening. After the readings, Bug was starting to fuss a little so mom and I took her into the Mother's Room (where the mass is speakered in). We lounged in big puffy couches while Buggy nursed. We rejoined mass before communion. Church weekly for me would be much easier if my church had such accomodations.

After church was Sunday breakfast at the parents' stomping grounds. One of the waitresses they wanted to show the Bug off to wasn't there :( No worries we returned the next day for lunch.

Buggy looked so nice Sunday in her red Gap clearance dress that I got in June for $9. She finally got to wear it!

Sunday afternoon, mom went to some church thing for like 6 hours and dad went to take a nap. So Buggy and I hung out with Ann for a while and then Christine came over for a visit. Christine hasn't seen the Bug since she was 6 weeks old.

Here's Buggy in her new Bumbo seat that Nana bought her on Friday:

My mom's new kitten is into everything... including all things "baby".

Bart in the carseat:

Kobie and the Buggy. Kobie still has a 4+ pound advantage over the Bug.

Here is Buggy with all 3 of my mom's cats:

Buggy spent some quality tummy time talking to her bear:

Then chewing on her bear:

And then chewing on her fingers:

Here's a pic of Buggy with "Auntie" Christine:

Nana once again put her clothes on backwards. This has happened before.

Now that we have the clothes on the correct way, it was time to hang out with Nana while mommy got a shower. Nana got on the floor with Buggy and took lots of pictures.

Nana is also encouraging an early Starbucks addiction.

For lunch Monday we headed back to the "Royale". I, as usual, had the chef salad. Been having that for 20+ years. Sad.

Buggy spent time knocking down creamer and jelly towers.

Okay, now this picture just cracks me up because of her face. She looks like she is yelling at someone across the room. In actuality, she was yawning.

After lunch we headed home and I packed up all the gear back into my car and we said goodbye. On my way home, I stopped by my old work, ESRI. Had a quick (too short) visit with Anna - and made the rounds saying hello to all my old friends (well, those still there anyway).

Here is Buggy with Stan. Stan just loved her:

Anna took a pic of me with the Bug. I'm rarely in the pics, since I'm always taking them.

And finally, a nice outside shot with Anna before we hit the road and headed back to Orange County.
