Are you ready for some...

...Friends?
This past Friday we had an all-girls playday because our friends Aidan and Caleb were sick. Here are Anna, Joanna, and Abby playing in Anna's crib. Anna and Joanna liked to jump and chew on the rail and move around. I think it made Abby a little worried. Won't be long Abby!
...Food?
This weekend my side of the family had a mini family reunion at my grandmother's house. Luckily she lives very close so it was easy for us to come and go. Joanna's a pretty easy traveler these days. We pack up the portable highchair, the portable crib, and plenty of food, toys, and diapers, and we're ready for anything (or almost). Here she is enjoying some lunch on Saturday. You can spot a few family members in the background. We had people from Houston, Austin, Dallas, Illinois, California, and England. (Where was my mother during all of this? Canada. Go figure.)
...Family?
We got to meet Joanna's new cousin Jade on Saturday. She is only 2 1/2 weeks old! Her mommy let me hold her a lot. She is soooo precious! From left to right: Aunt Mary, Ann, Christiana, Aunt Gail, baby Jade, and Aunt Pat. ...Fun?
Joanna got a new riding/pushing toy this weekend that we had with us. She actually does pretty good riding it -- she can go backwards. When it's in the push position, she usually pushes it on her knees; it goes a bit fast for her feet yet, but she gets the idea.
My aunt Gail has this scarf-thing that is made of rabbit fur and is bright green. She was showing Joanna how soft it is.
...Football?
Of course I'm sure you all know that this was Superbowl Sunday (whoo hoo) so in the midst of all the family at my grandmother's house, we headed over to Matt's brother's for a little pre-game fun and also to celebrate his birthday which was this week. Uncle Mark shared his birthday bows with Joanna because he knows how much she loves them. At this point she was getting pretty tired, but I think she wanted to enjoy the bow I stuck to her head! Joanna knows all about footballs now: what they taste like, how to pick them up, and what a touch-down looks like: Finally, I will leave you with this sweet shot. That girl just melts my heart!
