I think this was our most active weekend since Alexia's arrival and we had a blast. On Saturday we hung out at home in the morning and had fun playing and reading books. Alexia took a 3 1/2 hour nap so Diego, Ricardo and I played legos, read books, danced and just had fun. After Diego's nap we packed everyone up and headed to the park. Alexia fell asleep in the car (she was due for another nap), but woke up as soon as we arrived at the park. She doesn't sleep well when we're out and about. Diego had the time of his life at the park. He took a frisbee and a soccer ball with him and wore Papi out with all the running around. Alexia and I hung out on a park bench and watched the boys have their fun.
From the park we drove to our favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner. Diego ate an entire quesadilla, a plate full of rice and beans and chips & salsa...and a huge glass of milk. He was HUNGRY! He loves to dip the chips in the spicy salsa and says "Pica salsa!" (Salsa is spicy!) Alexia woke up in the middle of our meal, but was really happy just hanging out and watching all the activity around us.
On Sunday we went to church in the morning. Diego had a runny nose so Ricardo took him in to the service with him (I was teaching Sunday School). It had been awhile since we took Diego into the service since he used to have a hard time keeping quiet and still. Well, he did awesome. He hung out on Ricardo's lap the entire time and was a good boy. He would repeat every third or fourth word that Pastor Paul said and mimicked the actions of the people around him. Alexia was in the nursery and did really well and didn't cry once! We were very proud of them!
After church we went to the grocery store to pick up lunch and headed to a neighborhood park in the area which we love. Once again, Diego had a blast. He carried the frisbee with him the entire time and didn't even put it down to go on the playground and down the slide.
We came home for a late nap, played a little bit, had dinner and were out the door again at 6:30 for evening service at church. Alexia was super tired, but since there was a lot of singing, noise and bright lights, she couldn't sleep. She stayed in her carseat the entire time and sucked on a pacifier and did pretty well. Diego got a bit antsy after awhile so him and I sat on the floor in the back of the sanctuary for awhile and I was able to enjoy the sermon while he played on the floor.
So...that was our busy weekend! Now we're ready for the week!
Back to another park on Sunday...
