Busy Weekend







We've had a great and productive couple of days. Craig came home to his ladies a little early on Friday so he came along with us to do a couple of errands. We did some grocery shopping, which ended in an impatient little Gianna who needed to leave the store early and nurse in the parking lot. That was interesting as it was the first time we finally got the "Parking for Mothers with Infants" spot which of course is right by the exit to the store. Everyone walks by the spot! Oh well, Craig finished the shopping, and Gianna and I nursed as discreetly as possible. She was nice and full for a good nap after that.

Beforehand, Craig and I went to the Hair Cuttery. I got a nice trim, and Craig was cleaned up too. He looks so handsome! : ) Then we stopped at Walgreens where I got my foundation "buy one, get one free!" Craig was definitely happy about that. He loves his coupons.

Saturday we went for a ride to Babies R Us and got a mobile for Gianna's playpen. It's adorable with rainforst animals and music by Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. Mommy plays Gianna a lot of pop music, so at least she's getting some classical tunes from her toys. Then we did stopped at Kohl's to make some returns. When we came home later that day, Gianna had some belly time, and she kept her neck up so high. She's such a strong little cookie. I love that little girl!

Yesterday, after mass, we took our Pre-Jordan class. So we're all ready for Baptism! Only a few weeks to go. We are just so excited for this celebration for Gianna. And of course, we can't wait for her to see everyone.

Later, we got a visit from Cody Rapp and Matt Fannin. They are now stationed here at NAS Jax as Naval Flight Officers (NFOs). They seem to be having fun and still doing some partying. It was wonderful to catch up with them. We had a blast talking about old stories, and it was nice for them to see Gianna. Cody brought his white Golden Retriever too, Aspen. She is so sweet and had fun sniffing Gianna. We knew Aspen when she was just a tiny puppy in Annapolis. She is so big now!

Craig should be home soon, and Gianna will want to eat. So I should be going. I'll write again soon!
