Little Man and I hopped in the car last Tuesday morning
and headed to Abilene to spend a few days with Mini and Zu and Aunt Julie!
As always, we had a wonderful time!
Sweet block-letter greeting :)
Max LOVED looking out the windows at their house!
They have a much prettier backyard -
and much bigger windows - than we do ;)
Rough-housing with Zu
Karen was so generous to take Max and let me have some time to myself!
After a little pampering on Tuesday afternoon, I stopped to get my favorite Abilene treat:
Our little bookworm dressed up in an outfit
his Daddy wore at his age :)
Max mostly feeds himself these days,
but we opted for the spoon route with our very juicy blueberries.
Mini was only too happy to help!
Bathtime!
Aunt Julie even got in on the fun and gave Max his bottle one night before bed.
(I just love this picture of the two of them!)
On Wednesday, we went to a luncheon for Christian Homes
where we heard Anita Renfroe speak. She was absolutely hilarious!
That night I made dinner for everyone - island spiced salmon, wild rice, and sauteed squash.
Max, as you can see here, was not too crazy about the squash.
He turned out to be the pickiest one - a huge surprise!
We did end the meal on a high note
with some of Giada's Chocolate Pizza and fresh berries. Yum!
Thanks so much, Mini and Zu, for hosting us!
