Dad's Day at Preschool

Saturday was a Dad's day event at Lexi's preschool, so Brian and Lexi headed out for an afternoon of some good father-daughter time. There were tons of activities in the Good Shepherd gym, including bean bag toss, magnetic pole fishing, arts & crafts time, and sugar cookie decorating. It was a great afternoon, and we had a fun time together, playing games and interacting with some of her classmates and other Dads.

The event kept on giving even after we were home that night. At one point later in the evening, we were hanging out in the basement, when Lexi disappeared upstairs for a few minutes, presumably because she was bored with the activities we were doing. Just moments later, though, she came back down the stairs holding the paper necktie she had made as part of the arts & crafts activities and held it up for me to wear. Lexi doesn't have much of a vocabulary yet, but what a perfect way to communicate that she had as much fun as I did that day!

Springfield Dance Party

We took our first family trip in a long time and headed to Springfield to see Laura's brother Dave and his family. Lexi had a good time playing with the kids, and all of them fussed over Conner (well, at least the two girls did). The moms enjoyed a little shopping, the dads some sports watching, and the kids a little dance party.

Lexi also enjoyed the toys so much that her wonderful Aunt Cori kept sending home more toys with us, including a fabulous sit-n-spin and some great dress up clothes. It was a good weekend get-a-way!
