Daddy's Surprise for Mommy this Weekend

Daddy's friend, Bill, was getting married this weekend in Duluth, Minnesota, and Daddy was the best man. They decided that Mommy would stay here with me - life has just been too crazy with the move and everything. Daddy's been in Detroit for work this past week, and will be there next week, so he travelled straight from there.

Well, on Thursday Daddy surprised Mommy when he called her at work to tell her she'd be his date for the wedding - he'd gotten her a ticket to fly up to Minnesota and meet him! So I stayed at Paw-Paw's and Grannie's for the weekend (Daddy checked with them to make sure that was okay before he bought the ticket, but he knew it wouldn't be a problem!). What did I get to do with Paw-Paw and Grannie? Go toy shopping for Christmas, of course! Here's the picture they sent to Mommy and Daddy of me trying out something I think they're going to get me for Christmas.



Mommy flew out early yesterday morning, and they went to the wedding last night. Thier hotel is right on Lake Superior. They took a drive up the lakeshore this afternoon. Here's a picture of them in front of Lake Superior.

More from My Exciting Weekend at Paw-Paw's and Grannie's

While in Jennings this weekend, Paw-Paw brought in his old rocking chair from when he was a little boy (that was a very long time ago!). He sat in this when he was really little. Then Mommy and Parin and my cousins Julie, Jena, Janice, and Jenny got to sit in it. Now, it's my turn!

And after that, he got a really fun toy for me. This was Parin's tractor as a little boy. He rode in around the yard a lot. Paw-Paw took me around the driveway on it. I loved it!

(Paw-Paw was giving me some serious tractor driving tips!)

Trunk or Treat Pictures

Last night was Trunk-or-Treat at Grannie's and Paw-Paw's church. Everyone though I was the cutest little pumpkin around! It was getting dark outside, so the pictures aren't the greatest. But they're good enough to share!

Here's Grannie and me standing in front of the big ghost.
Grannie and Paw-Paw handed out popcorn to all the trick-or-treaters.

I got to trick-or-treat from in my stroller. I just sat there and smilled.
And people put all kinds of goodies in my bucket!

Fr. Wayne dressed up as a pirate!

It was fun to see all the bright lights and decorations. I can't wait until next year when I can walk and carry my own bucket. It's going to be so much fun!
