So over the last week and a half we have all been sick. Chase and I twice and Sean (lucky duck) only once. Chase's 2nd hit last night and early this morning hard. Bummm-mmmer. He had a really high fever for a couple days last week and now? He has the itchy eyes and runny nose going on. I had that one over the weekend it was NO fun at all. But besides the colds and all going through our house? We have found time to do some exciting family activities!
As you know my son loves nothing more that these three things:
1. Mommy and Daddy.
2. Mamma (Grandma) Neggy (Aunt Megan) Bah-Pa (Grandpa
3. Baseball.
So how fantastic that over the last couple weeks we got to have extra of all three?? Usually we take the time to skype with Mamma and Bah-PA and sweet Aunt Neggy about once a week. BUT they actually came out for a visit! How fabulous. That's even better. They played and played and played for 3 solid days. Not long enough for us... BUT it was really great to have them out here. We went to the park we ate lots of food and watched movies and went to a huge party that our church (The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) throws at the Marriott family ranch our in Rune VA. It's American LDS Diplomats, Congressman and women and Senators. All from the LDS community and they host a family ranch party that is just a huge day of fun for the Ambassadors and their families. It was really fun for all of us. We taught Chase how to throw horseshoes, rope cows (which he is AMAZING at) painted flower pots and faces! Watched traditional Native American Dancers and Dancing from the old West and we did Pony carriage rides.. had a huge lunch. Chased baby ponies (mini horses?? so cute) And had an absolute blast with our family. The Marriott's throw one heck of a fun family party. Chase even had a chance to meet His Excellency, The Russian Ambassador and his wife. His Excellency, The Chinese Ambassador and his wife and son. His Excellency, The Jamaican Ambassador and his wife. And of course Chase loved them all. It was really such a good day.
We also had a chance to go to Gettysburg and tour privately all of the grounds. It was amazing. Absolutely beautiful. It made me want to pick up and move right up there. And even besides that the history we were able to see and touch was 100% worth the long car ride and traffic we faced both ways to see. We love when our family comes to town. It's so fun to watch Chase with his family. He loves them so much and they love him. Always paying special attention to my little guy. Makes a mommy so happy to watch others show their love for my child with a care and tenderness and a deep love. Can't wait for them to come back!!! Side note? My baby boy is obsessed with guns. That isn't something we taught him or really even introduced him to.. And let me tell you.. Gettysburg? they have a LOT of guns. Chase kept on saying "More guns please mommy" Ohh my. Okay.
