Maggie Weekend!

We've had the BEST weekend!! With the exception of late Saturday night on my couch, I did NO work and was able to completely focus on my family. With a new sister at home, Luke needed a little fun and attention. So, Maggie and I picked him up Friday night and whisked him off to the Wiggly Playcenter for some fun with his favorite people. Toddler crack, I tell you. Wiggles=Toddler Crack.



The playcenter closed at 8pm, and Maggie, Luke and I were the last ones walking out at 7:58pm! The car ride was almost as much fun as the play time itself. Those two are hilarious together. One would babble some silliness, the other burst into giggles. This continued the entire ride. Kenny and Larissa wer very grateful for the break, but I was grateful for the time with them together. That was a big treat for Maggie! Saturday was fun at her Gymboree Play & Music class with her friends and off to our usual Saturday morning early lunch at Chick Fil-A with Maggie and her best little friend Annika. I love watching these two girls together! My mom wanted her Saturday afternoon, so Andrew and I were able to run errands and have dinner before picking her up for a trip to Target.



And then the fun of this morning! We went to the Dallas Arboretum to go to the pumpkin patch! After our great time with Luke Friday night, we knew we couldn't take a pumpkin patch trip without Maggie's boyfriend! We had a blast!!



Here are some great pictures of our awesome day!!




Happy with the pumpkins!





Climbing pumpkins is much more fun than posing for pictures

It seems like just yesterday you and Larissa were pregnant with Luke and Maggie! I can't believe how big they've gotten, and how CUTE!

I'm so glad you had a great weekend - you deserved and needed it. Wish I could say the same...research,reading and writing all weekend for me. Why am I doing this again?

And you are an awesome friend for taking Luke so much this weekend. I know Maggie enjoyed it, but I also am sure that Larissa REALLY appreciated the break.

Kids and pumpkins! So much fun!!!!

How cool that you are getting the nonprofit leadership certificate?! Wow! I'm so inspired by you, Jenny. In the face of so much grief, you've found such an amazing way of giving back to the world. I really admire what you are doing with HFC. It *is* teaching, too... what you do. I know it isn't the same as being in a classroom, but the kind of advocacy you are doing, the outreach, the good you generate... very much in the spirit of teaching.

I wish I could borrow your French language skills for a week... I'm heading off to Belgium for a conference (and to Paris for 2 days of fun). I've never been before, and to say my French is rusty... well, even with several years of it in school, my French is pretty much non-existent. I'll do my best. I know how to say Give Me Some Chocolate; how much more will I need to know?

Hope this weekend is as good as last weekend. Kids and halloween... just the best time of year, in my opinion.

What cute pictures! What a great friend you are!! I'm sure Larissa appreciated it!

I work for a small birth announcement company and we just had an order this past weekend from someone in Norman, Oklahoma and it got me wondering......how is Andrew's sister and her family? Her youngest one must be almost 2 now, right? Hope all is well with everyone!

Much love,

Carolein and family
