Wonderful Weekend

This last weekend was probably one of the best. Both sets of our parents came for Maggie's blessing at church on Sunday. We also moved from a one bedroom apartment to a two bedroom in the same complex. It is the best way to move! We were able to carry stuff into the new apartment and put it right where it goes. There are still a few boxes of random things that need to be put away. And nothing is hanging on the wall yet. But other than that, we are all moved in. It made such a huge difference to have so much family helping us. I don't know what I would have done with Maggie otherwise. Both grandmothers were always willing to hold her.
We actually didn't get any good pictures of Maggie awake in her dress. We will have to get her pictures taken later....
The trip wouldn't be complete without the girls getting a tickle story from Dad.

Someone went to the bathroom and it leaked all over the dress. Busted....
On our way to church
Brad gave Maggie a serious talking to before church. She was very obedient. She slept through the whole thing and didn't make a peep.
Playing the Wii at Brent's house. Brad's dad had never heard of a Wii- he loved it!
Giordano's for dinner
Rocking with Grandma in Maggie's new room
My nieces got cute new haircuts

Staring at Grandpa Callister
Maggie was talking a lot to Grandma. I think she remembered her.

The weekend was great! We were sad to see people go. This week has been fun and relaxing. My mom stayed and we are having a blast! My house is a mess but we don't get company very often in IL. It snowed like crazy last night and we felt a 3.8 earthquake at 4 this morning. Chicago is so fun- come visit!!!

She is so cute. And so great that she gets her own bedroom, that will be a great help. I love when family gets together. I am already wanting to come visit you guys again. And that suit Brad was wearing looked very nice.
