Weekend with Mimi Powell

I've been really bad about updating our blog over the last 2 weeks.

Donavan had an overnight retreat this weekend so my mom graciously agreed to come down from Indiana and hang out with Isaac and me. We had a really fun weekend together. We had some unseasonably chilly weather during her visit so we spent a lot of time indoors reading books, making cupcakes and playing with the dogs. The weather didn't seem to bother Isaac much and we snuck in some time playing on the tennis courts with his soccer ball. We also took a quick walk while Isaac rode his trike. Isaac really enjoys his trike, but he has not gotten the hang of the mechanics of it, yet. It is really helpful to have a handle on it.

We had a delicious brunch at The Grit and enjoyed some time at Barnes and Noble. The service was a little slow at the Grit (which always makes me nervous--trying to occupy a toddler's attention at restaurants), but he was really patient for his pancake. At B & N Isaac found a few new books to add to his library. "Harold and the Purple Crayon", "Frog and Toad" and the original "Curious George" are his favorites.

Isaac has been a little fussy the last few days as I think he's getting a molar. His cheeks have been really red, he's itching his ears a lot and complaining of tooth pain.

Mom and I even snuck in a really cute documentary "Young at Heart" after Isaac went to bed. Isaac loves having visitors at "Ike's house." Isaac was really upset when his Mimi left, and we're glad to have Donavan home!
