Weekend Fun!!

The Austin Family weekends!!!!

Laundry, bottles, shopping, brunch with friends (thanks for meeting us Case & Von) and lots of cuddling oh my!!!

Lots of cuddling!!!!

60 degrees in February...the perfect day to take Lyla to Michigan Ave for her first magnificent mile experience. The day made us so excited for warmer days - so many adventures to come. Now notice below we are missing a stroller. We aimed to find the perfect stroller. After testing every model of stroller imaginable we decided to stay with The Orbit..well now a week later we have changed our minds again. Ughhhhh...the perfect stroller is out there and we are determined to find it!!!! Stay tuned...I just may start my own line of strollers after this is all said and done. Why a mother hasn't invented the perfect stroller for city living is beyond me...I am onto something ;)

This past weekend Grandma & Grand-daddy visited. As you can see Lyla bird is feeling much much better. Still a tad hoarse with a cough but she is sleeping thru the nights again - YAY!!! Lyla was all smiles and giggles all weekend. She just could not get enough of grandma and grand-daddy's hugs and kisses.

Grand-daddy even entertained Lyla which allowed us to enjoy our lunch:)

This picture I just adore - captures the weekend perfectly. Well I take that back...when Lyla napped grandma headed to the kitchen and grand-daddy worked on our fix it list:)

And we accomplished our goal - we feel rested!!! But only because Grandma changed every poopy diaper...and boy did Lyla put her to work. Grandma did all our laundry. Grandma played with Lyla while we slept until 8:30am - whoopie:):) Grandma cooked every meal and then some because we have enough left-overs for a week.

And grand-daddy fixed every thing and more. After 2 Home Depot trips our back door, water leak, and Lyla's toys are all fixed:)

Now someone please answer this question - how in the world can grandma and grand-daddy do all the above and still manage to keep Lyla the happiest baby, no tears- just smiles and giggles! It's the grandparents touch...oh so special...there is nothing else like it!!!

And finally just a few recent pics of sweet Lyla bird -just because she is so sweet:)

Every single morning I am entertained by this...it honestly can not get any cuter than this..she cracks me up!!!!
