Columbus Musuem

This morning our new Summer Joy Playgroup took a trip to the Columbus Museum and then lunched at Chick-fil-a. The Columbus Musuem has a great children's interactive play area and the best part of it is that it is all free!

Here John plays with the lighted block area

They have a great dress-up area with costumes that people from India where. John really wanted a hat but he settled for Ms. Sara tying a scarf around his head.

My First Date?

We mentioned on a previous post that our friends Jeff, Michelle, and Abby are moving to south Florida. Well, tonight they came over for dinner since their house is all packed up and we wanted to spend some time with them before the move. And since we have our new puppy and Abby loves puppies John thought it would be a way to make a good impression. What these pictures don't show is the parents inside and John and Abby outside at the picnic table. They were sitting on one side together in what looked to be a deep conversation. John was pinching her nose, Abby was giggling, hugs and kisses. It was the funniest thing to watch. Since we couldn't capture those enjoy these.

The dog ate Abby's ice cream then tried to make up with kisses
More ice cream, yum! Mommy made homemade soy ice cream so John could enjoy it as well.

All smiles after the kiss, John looks pretty proud of himself, huh?

A Day at the Park

For some reason Dad came off of a night delivering babies in a "chipper" mood and decided he wanted to stay awake. So we headed off for a morning at the park. Dad and John crashed as soon as we arrived home but we did get some quality family time in so it was worth it.

Playgroup at Monkey Joe's

Monday we went to Monkey Joe's with Playgroup. It was kind of sad because it is probably the last playgroup we will have with some of our friends before they move. Some of us have been meeting together since two weeks or so before John was born.

John and Abby. Daddy and Abby's Dad went to medical school together but Jeff was a year ahead of Burt. They will be finishing their civilian residency at the end of June so they are moving back to South Florida. Abby and her parents will actually be staying at our house for a while before they move. Only John will be staying with Grammy and Grandad that week and Mommy and Daddy will be in Key West!
Of course we had to check out the toys we could play at our own houses. John, Brody, Lauren and Joshua are playing here.

A quick Hi to MommyUp the climbing wall

Almost there
Yeah! I did it! Mommy was quite impressed with my athletic ability. But now that John has proved he can do this then maybe Mommy can quit climbing up at Chick-fil-a.Down the slide

Savannah and AbbyMonday afternoon Daddy and John threw Mommy a belated birthday party. John enjoyed playing in his cake more than eating it I believe.

This is pretty good but I really want one of those cookies that Brandi made.

Quality Time with Da

John doesn't quite get that since Daddy is on nights that he needs to sleep during the day. If Daddy is home, that means the boys are supposed to be playing. He has decided that if Daddy is going to "Night" then John will go "Night" too. Too bad that means about a minute of laying still and then climbing all over Daddy. We have been having to get out of the house because John stands at the bedroom door knocking, saying, "Da, Please." I don't know what has happened to my Mommy's boy.
