By Friday night, more visitors had arrived! James, Jaclyn, JJ, and Jess got here just in time to (hopefully) get a little bit of rest before the next big day. Grandpa and Grandma Shibata were here by lunchtime and got the indoor and outdoor tour. We stopped for a bit to enjoy the swings and slide and the sunshine.
After lunch, there was more time for playing and opening presents, of course!
We enjoyed some burgers, hot dogs, and the usual summer fare before bringing out the birthday cake. Bob and Larry!!!
All too soon, it was time to say good bye to the Shibata's. We came to find out that Marie and JJ have the same set of PJs.
We took a short evening stroll and had time for a story or two before we were too exhausted.
The next morning, Marie wasn't even out of her pajamas before she had convinced Grandpa to watch a "Bob & Larry" with her.
All in all, it was an AWESOME weekend, made so much better by being able to be surrounded by family. We are truly blessed! Thanks everyone!
Today Marie had her 2-year checkup. She did very well and is doing great according to Dr. Anderberg. She is 1/2 inch shy of being a 3 footer and weighed in at 27 lbs. We think she'll be tall. :)
Also, thanks to all of you that remembered Marie's birthday and sent cards. One of her favorite "jobs" is going out to get the mail. She opened them all herself and read each one!
