The boy was away, so the girls must play

This is a backtrack post, but I had to write about our fun weekend up north from a week ago. After we dropped Logan off for the mission trip, Maddy and I drove up to see Jane (and Juno and Stewie.)

Marme and Jimbo came to Aunt Jane's house on their way into town. We stayed with them the next night at the ranch.



Maddy had lots of fun playing with Juno through the window and chewing on her toys when I wasn't looking. She loved chasing Stewie, although he really wasn't a huge fan of it.



After a trip to TCBC we made the grandparents tour. Walker? Check! Stanton? Check! Taylor? Check! We saw them all!

At Granny and Grandad's Ruby helped Maddy play with baby dolls and Granny's horse collection. She "arranged" all of the magazines on the coffee table and helped Grandad throw away a few magazines he had in mind for Jimbo.

We had a hard time getting everyone to smile at once.



Speaking of Ruby...hasn't she just turned into such a little lady. She is going to hit double digits in September! Can you believe it?! I love this shot I got of her.



Maddy, again, had lots of fun chasing Grandpa's puppy, Sammie, all of over the kitchen. Sammie likes to howl (like all Beagles do), but Maddy wasn't too fond of that. So she admired her from the window some more.





Grandpa also had some pretty green grass that we just couldn't pass up. Maddy was ready for a nap, so the pictures weren't that great, but oh well!



Then, last but not least, we got to see Mama Joyce. (What a beauty she is! There is a reason I kept that J. in my name and she is it! I sign my name at least 8-10 times a day for patient reports and such and each time I do, I get to think of the amazing woman whose name I get to carry on!) Maddy likes to "tidy" up Mama Joyce's papers on her foot rest. She puts things on the floor, picks them up, and then does it all over again. What a good little helper.



Back at the ranch...Maddy got to swing with Jimbo...of course.



We made it back to SA just in time to start my first full week of work. Now, Daddy is home and we're pretty excited to have him here, healthy, and happy.
