We've had a very nice weekend. Yesterday was jam packed starting with a big trip to IKEA. The whole family was there - us, Auntie Carrie, Uncle Adam, Uncle Dusty, Nana, Papa and even Great Nana. We had lunch there before shopping. While we didn't get too much (a few energy saving light bulbs was all) we were pushing around a full shopping cart by the end! You can always find things to purchase in that store. We all got some good deals I think. Then we headed home to our house where Nana and Papa and Great Nana joined us. James took a nap while Nana and Annika played games and had tea. I think I even fell asleep on the couch while the boys watched football. After the disappointing Gopher game was over we played some Wii sports. A while later Carrie, Adam and Dusty came by, bringing dinner. Yum! And then we all played some silly Wii games together. It was a fun evening. The kids did pretty well, even though we kept them up way past their bedtime. I wanted to keep them up though so they could meet Melanie, Dusty's new friend. And then James crashed and it was time to say good night. Today was much quieter. We were at home most of the day, only venturing out to have dinner with Auntie Carrie and Uncle Adam before they went home.

Today James took his first unassisted steps. I wouldn't exactly call it walking. His balance isn't quite there yet to be walking. However, today I was sitting on the couch and James was standing between my legs facing out. There must have been something he wanted across the room because he just took off walking away from me. He made it about three steps before he lost his balance and crawled the rest of the way. He did it again this evening.

Tonight at bed time Annika was being crabby and whiny (and waking up James - argh!). I told her she needed to be quiet so she didn't wake James again and she tried really hard. Then she got frustrated and cried out "I can't get my whinies out!" Ha! So I held her really tight to help her get them out, whatever that means! Then she had me lay down by her for a minute before she went to sleep. I had to lay down then she was concerned because I didn't have a blanket so I got one. Then, my blanket wasn't laying quite right for her so she had to get up and adjust it. Then she laid down only to get back up a minute later and get me a doll to sleep with. Then I had to get my own pillow. Finally we were adjusted just so. She's so sweet sometimes, making sure all is right with me before she goes to sleep.
