Anniversary Weekend
We had a great time celebrating our anniversary with a night out with our friends. Both Emily and Mark had exciting weekends of their own as well. Ben's parents took Emily with them to Austin for the weekend. She had a great time being the center of attention and seeing all the family in Austin. She went swimming with Cassidy and her cousin Jack at Great Grandma and Grandpa Karcher's house and even got to ride on a glass-bottom boat in Aquarena Springs. Apparently she also learned how to play the ukulele - see link below. Thank you Grandma and Papa for taking care of Emily all weekend and for showing her such a good time!
Meanwhile, Ben and I were able to spend some extra time with Mark. He especially enjoyed the opportunity to play with all of Emily's favorite toys with out her throwing any fits and demanding that he stop and play with his own "baby toys". Here are some pictures of Mark enjoying his uninterrupted free for all in the playroom.
He really loves to stand or sit in front of Emily's kitchen and play with all the toys in the shelves. First item on the to-do list was the doctor kit. Mark knows exactly where we keep it and grabs for it soon as he can. He especially likes the stethoscope.
He also likes to empty out all of Emily's dishes and books. Her vacuum is fun too because it sings all kinds of songs when he pushes it. And of course I had to give him some time in her rocking lounge chair.
Saturday was our 6 year anniversary! My parents had Mark spend the night at their house for his first overnight trip away from us. It went perfectly and Mark enjoyed the undivided attention from my parents. Thank you Mimi and Grandy, I know Mark is in good hands when he smiles and lunges for you as soon as we arrive. We are very lucky to have parents that take such good care of our kids! Here are some pictures of Mark's evening.
One of my good friends got married Saturday night so Ben and I got all dressed up and spent our anniversary eating and drinking with friends. It was a great evening. Happy Anniversary Ben. I love you.
