Another Week in Review

This Week in Review format is working, so here goes again.

On Tuesday, I met up with three of my bridesmaids, Melanie, Kelly and JT. It's a great feeling to spend time with friends with so much shared history, and now to all be in the mommy stage together.

I'm holding Jonah, JT's 1-year-old, and Sienna, Melanie's 3-month-old, while her two-year-old Heather is staying close. Kelly's got her hands supporting 6-week-old Noah, and Callie and Violet are playing.

I've written already about our Pioneer Club fun on Wednesday. On Thursday, with no more gymnastics class, Violet and I met Colleen and Liana at the library for story time.

The girls got to use instruments - Liana banged her sticks together, while Violet insisted on rubbing the ridged surface together.

 Then we went into the children's area, where the girls enjoyed playing computer learning games and selecting books to check out.

 Then we ate lunch out, and the girls were very, very silly.

 Later Thursday, it rained. Yep, it actually did! We're in the mist of an official drought, so getting any rain is cause for cheering and donning the raincoats and boots.

 On Friday, Rigo and Liana came by to drop off an tiny bicycle for Violet. They had been given two of the same size. Violet fun up and down the driveway, before we took off the training wheels. I didn't want her getting used to riding with them on; we know from Cora's experience that soon Violet will be able to go straight from the balance bike to the two-wheeled pedal one.

 Later Friday, Violet and I walked to get Cora, and we checked out the construction on the school campus. A new building will replace some aging portables; Violet has enjoyed seeing the construction equipment over the last month.

Violet wanted to try Cora's scooter, and she actually did very well on it. Our baby is less of one each passing day - she can reach the bathroom lights, now too.
