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.

Chelsea is very good at throwing balls and is slowly learning to catch them

It's never too young to learn how to swing a bat!

I love you grandma!

 

She loves the rocking horse

 

I'm so happy to have caught this special moment between Chelsea and Grandpa on camera
