Where did my playmates go?

When it comes to having fun our little girl knows how to show everyone a good time. She had so many playmates over the past two weeks. Jeff and Wendy for starters, then we travelled up to Michigan for a few days and hung out with some of M's school buddies and their families. When we got back, M's parents came to visit for a week. So little C had a constant audience for almost two solid weeks.

One of her favorite tricks is to show everyone how talented she is at climbing in and out of buckets, boxes, baskets, trays...oh just about anything.

She also enjoyed getting outside as often as possible, even in the cold weather and snow. We had a few days of temperatures above freezing so mommy said it would be okay to get out for a little while.
Mommy and Daddy had a chance to get out on their own too. M planned a whole day in Chicago that included Garrett's popcorn, Avatar at the Navy Pier IMAX, and dinner at Carnivale. Wow! What a special treat.

We also took a trip into Chicago to see the Field Museum. C loved the children's section where she had the opportunity to make a crown, play in the music room, and discover all sorts of stones, masks, bones, plant life and other items from all over the world.

We all had a wonderful time with Grandma and Grandpa V. They left early this morning to fly back to Boston. C was slightly confused today. We asked her where Grandma and Grandpa were and she couldn't find them anywhere. She looked all around and returned her gaze back to us looking quite sad and disappointed that she couldn't find them.
