A Little Damp

Casey, Frisco and I are in a hotel room in Belleville, IL tonight, on our way home to Dillon. We should get back on Wed afternoon. So far Casey has been a great road tripper. She watched a lot of videos today, took 2 naps, read some books, had some snacks and played with toys. After an hour of running around the hotel room, take lap after lap, crawling all over me, walking around with my ipod, holding it up to her ear and my ear saying, "hebo," she just walked over to her crib saying, "nighnigh," pulled her blankey out, crawled up on the couch, laid down and stuck her thumb in her mouth. I just put her to bed.

Last week we kept busy again. Monday we went to a park and then had lunch with Kris and her 3 out of 4 kids. Tuesday, Casey had a sleep over at Gramma Gail and Grampa Tom's while we went to open mic night at Tiffany Tavern in Old Town. Stan and Matt played (the SM of SML). Wednesday, we played with Gramma Gail and Grampa Tom all day. Casey swam in the pool, played with the bikes/car/wagon, basically did not sit still except at naptime. I went out to dinner with Dyani and Stacey while Stan and Casey stayed home. Friday we went to Aunt Marcy's for one last play day. The whole fam (except Kel) made it for lunch at Panera. After lunch we headed to Blacksburg.

We dropped Casey off in Roanoke with Gramma Lois for the weekend. She had a great time entertaining Gramma, Aunt Linda and Aunt Donnie all day Saturday. Stan and I went down to Blacksburg Friday for the VT/Miami game Sat. It poured down rain all day, needless to say, we were very damp all day, but the game was exciting and we ended up winning, so it was worth the wet.

On the developmental front, Casey is saying all kinds of words now...she said computer tonight (after I said it of course). She is great at pointing at her body parts, saying animal noises and counting to 3 (of course she leaves out #1).

Not many pix this week, will try and do better next week.
