Richmond

We went for General Conference Weekend (3/30-4/2) in Richmond.  Grandma and Grandpa M were there.  Uncle G and B ran the Monument Ave 10K again.  Princess Sparkley attended a drama camp at the high school with cousins S and Pickles.  The girls made Baklava (Grandma M's Easter Greek tradition) with the grandparents.  The kids played the Wii, watched the Chipwrecked movie, played with Mollie Doodle, and we ate a lot of yummy food.  I didn't take very many pictures though.

Aunt H, Buddy, Little Guy and I went to the race to cheer on the runners.  This is the only picture I got.  We got rained on, cheered for G and B, saw a lot of dogs, and some fun runner costumes.



Video coming soon (we hope).

Baklava


Mollie Doodle is getting bigger!

We stopped at Sam's Club on the way home and the kids shared an Icee.  I like how Little Guy's creepy eye is peeking at the camera.
Little Guy hurt his left leg somehow on Saturday.  At bedtime he complained that it hurt a little.  By Sunday morning, he refused to walk and had to be carried everywhere.  He would cringe if he had to put weight on it or if in moving him, you hurt him.  But he'd kneel on both legs to play Legos.  At bedtime he had me help him roll over on to his stomach, etc.  On Monday morning, as we were packing up to leave he started to put some weight on it and would limp around.  By Monday night, he was using it with a heavy limp.  Tuesday a slight limp.  Wednesday a slight limp.  Thursday, he seems fine and told me it doesn't hurt anymore.  No idea what he did to it!

Grandma and Grandpa came over to see our place Monday night (4/2) and had dinner with us before heading out for a business meeting early the next morning somewhere in Pennsylvania.  It was a big treat for the kids to have them visit.
