Off to Charlottesville

We're on I-81 headed to Hooville for the VT vs. UVA basketball game tonight.

Daisy is snoozing away in the back seat...

Gramma Chinn!

I don't have a lot of time at the moment but wanted to mention our exciting weekend. Gramma Chinn flew up from Florida for a long weekend!

Friday night we picked her up at the airport, then we ate dinner out and we went to see a movie. It was Daisy's first trip to a theater and she did great!

Saturday, we tried a new Mexican restaurant for lunch. Then we did a grocery trip to buy stuff for some cooking Gramma was going to do. Saturday evening, daddy & Gramma cooked several meals and desserts while Daisy and I watched.

Sunday we went to church, relaxed around the house, and watched football. David also finally "unlocked" Baby Daisy on MarioKart Wii.

Here are some photos:

Time for bed?

Or.... Time to talk endlessly! This has been going on for over an hour. Just laughing and smiling and making noises...

And a quick video from the other day....

Gramma and daisy

Daisy loves her gramma!

Daisy-O

Daisy loves to say "O"!

Mommy having a Daisy Day

Just a quick pic post blueberry pancakes, oj and hot chocolate made by daddy. It's Friday and nrcc is closed and vt is delayed! Hooray!

Grammy & Grandpa come for a visit

I'm not sure if I mentioned it earlier, but we found out that Daisy had thrush again at her 4 month visit. That meant she was unable to go to daycare. Myself, Daddy and our friend Jess covered last Tuesday and Mama Staats covered Wednesday and Thursday. Daddy David covered Friday and then we had the weekend. While we were pretty sure it was going away, we thought we should keep her out a few more days. My mom rearranged a few things and she and my dad came Sunday afternoon. We all hung out on Monday since we were off for MLK day. Then Grammy & Grandpa watched Daisy all day Tuesday and half of today (Wednesday). Daisy returned to daycare this afternoon.

I know Daisy had a blast hanging out with them and we're so grateful they were able to come take care of her during one of the busiest times of semester for me at work.

Sunday

Today at church Joe asked us to gather up front to pray for Haiti together. We were up there until Daisy started coughing and couldn't stop. I took this pic from the back when we took her back to our seat to give her a drink from the bottle. It was neat to see everyone squished together in the first several rows.


After eating lunch, Daisy fell asleep on Daddy. I put her in her ladybug outfit today, which Grammy gave her. (Grammy is on her way for a visit right now.)


That's all for now...

Friday and Saturday

I worked yesterday (Friday) while David stayed home with Daisy, who has thrush and therefore isn't at daycare this week. David surprised me by bringing Daisy up to New River. What a great treat!

Here she is being held by Mark, my old boss.


After work, we were invited to the Staats home for a Wii game night. Here David watches Evan play.


Today, we visited the field house at VT for a track meet. David's sis was in town with the UVA team where she serves as the trainer. We took her some lunch and she got to snuggle with Daisy for a bit.


Here are David, Daisy and Lisa posing for a pic.


We had some folks over to watch the VT-FSU bball game (unfortunately the Hokies couldn't pull this one out). Our friend Jim had fun flying Daisy around in the air.


Finally, here's the video of the day. Wade and Daisy both making noises!5490355246033918
