The best guest

This weekend was like a honeymoon for our family. The girls waited all morning by the front door keeping watch for Daddy's car. He was super dad and left Fallon, NV at 5 AM and got here at 11:30 AM. The girls and I ran out in the street to meet him. 

I took this picture right after he got here and we were all on cloud nine. This is the first time that he has come back and Ellie hasn't been shy- she even led the mad dash to his car! We had a very relaxed day and a half and went out to dinner, went to the park, took walks around the neighborhood, and Greg found time to complete his outrageously long honey do list. I was spoiled rotten with being able to take a nap, sleep in, go to Target and grocery shopping by myself, and have breakfast served to me. The girls were on their best behavior showing off for for Daddy and literally would wait outside the door during his bathroom breaks. They did not let him out of their sight.

Greg spent most of the afternoon being our bike shop mechanic. He was fixing everyone's bike, strollers, bike carrier's etc. The funny thing is that 2 of our bike pumps broke in the move so all we had was a small hand pump. It was quite the work out to get all those little tires full of air.

Ava took a nasty spill on her bike and busted up her teeth (again). Thank goodness these aren't her permanent teeth yet! She was brave enough to get back on her bike again with Daddy and practice doing fast turns. 

Back on the saddle

One of the things on Greg's list that he got to late on Sunday night was to assemble the bike carrier (my Christmas present from Nanny and PopPops that I have been itching to use). He put it together in the house while we were catching up on the DVR and we realized it could not fit outside the front door. It took both of us heaving it to get it out. He tested out the bike and safety features with out crash test dummy pug. Penny Lane actually really enjoyed the ride

It was hard to say Goodbye this morning but we just have 3 more weeks to get through. These small moments are the ones I will always cherish with our growing family.
