Girl Time!

When Chelsea and I were in Alex this weekend visiting my parents we also got to spend time with my brother's family as well.  He has three daughters and all the girls play very well together.  Alyssa is the oldest and she is very very good with Chelsea.  Alayna and Ari are the younger two and they love to play with Chelsea and show her their ' big girl' toys!

My mom likes to take my nieces to McDonalds playland but Chelsea nor I have ever been there.  We went on Sunday morning for breakfast and to let the girls play.  It was a lot of fun and two hours flew by before we knew it.  Alyssa took chelsea through the tunnels that I couldn't navigate and was in charge of her.  It was a very fun and relaxing morning for me :-)

Chelsea loved Heidi.  She wouldn't stop laughing around her!

Weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Loveland's house!

Ben went out to visit his parents in CA last weekend.  Unfortunately with me being in my third trimester of pregnancy and with Chelsea as active as she is, we decided it wasn't logical for Chelsea and I to partake in the four hour flight out there.  Instead, I went to my parents house for the weekend in Alexandria. 

Chelsea and I arrived in Alex Friday morning and stayed until Sunday at about noon.  We had such a great time and it was very nice for all of us to get to spend some quality time together.  It was also very helpful for me to have lots of help with Chelsea while Ben was gone.  It's rare if we get more than a few hours together at a time.   Chelsea absolutely adores her grandma and grandpa and they absolutely adore her as well.  I love how much they show her love and I know she feels it.

We also spent some time with my brother's family while we were there.  I'll post a second blog with more details / pictures of Chelsea with her cousins.
