What a terrific weekend we had! On Friday we had several visitors. 1st, we had Cousin Kelsey and Auntie Anne come by the house and say hello to Thomas. Then we had Maryland friends Andres and Jess visit us from there new location in California. Andres and Jess, drove out Friday afternoon and spent the whole weekend with us. Unfortunately we had such a fun time with them, that we forgot to take any pictures or any videos (sorry to all those visual aid blog readers).
Saturday we woke up and went on a little tour of the beautiful ASU campus. Thomas especially enjoyed riding around in his stroller and checking out the bookstore, and all the palm trees along palm walk. The only minor complaint (which I think most people will sympathize with), is that the weather was up in the 80's and 90's, oh, and very sunny.
So after the tour, and a quick lunch pit-stop, we headed over to the best sports-bar in town, Native New Yorker, and we hung out on the patio and watched those college basketball games. I received a lot of criticism because I picked Arizona State to go all the way, and of course, that was a mistake (they only got past the first round).
Saturday evening was fun because we turned on the BBQ, and had Gramma Katie, Uncle Tony, Auntie Leia, Uncle Steve and Trevor over for hamburgers and hot dogs. For those of you not familiar with Trevor, he is another friend from High School who also happens to live here in amazing Arizona, so that was treat to get to see him.
All I can say about Saturday night is that there was a lot of basketball viewing and a lot of beer drinking, a lot of eating and of course some hand and foot at the end of the night!
Sunday we all slept in a little and woke up to have a nice big breakfast of waffles and bacon, and fresh orange juice. Some people reading this blog have yet to visit us here and therefore are unaware of the crazy good orange tree in the backyard which has more oranges than we can shake a stick at (literally).
Jess was most excited about the oranges, and so when we told her that down the street were citrus trees of every shape and size, we grabbed some grocery bags, and we all headed out the door to go pick some more fruit! Obviously one can never have enough lemons, oranges or grapefruits, but when you have too many, you can always give some away to friends!
Once Andres and Jess left and headed back to California (Santa Monica), Jenn and I were relaxing with the coolest little man in town. As you can see from this video, Thomas has been becoming more and more observant of his surroundings and especially himself (mainly his fingers and hands). Check him out, trying to eat his own fist!
