^^^ Late last week, ^^^

Alex and I took Greta on an evening stroll.

No, we did not get caught in a rain storm this time...

that is actually sweat that is making Al's hair wet.

It was the most humid (aka miserable) walk of the summer.

^^^ So, the next night I kept things real classy ^^^

by stripping GG of all clothing.

If her expression is any indication,

I don't think she minded.

^^^ In fact, she fell asleep pretty quickly ^^^

while we were strolling.

I just love when she sleeps with her hand on her cheek.

 

^^^ GG made a new friend this week. ^^^

Her name is Sophie, and she likes to snuggle.

^^^ Friday I went to school to check on my classroom ^^^

for the first time since GG was born.

It was a little overwhelming to be back

but I was so encouraged when I found a stack of five children's books

on my desk, each one signed by a different class period.

It melted my heart.

^^^ Saturday, we met Papa P at the Farmer's Market ^^^

to do a little grocery shopping for the week.

It was so fun to see my daddio in his element {he is a very talented chef}.

He gave me the rundown of all the booths and helped me pick the best grub from each.

^^^ This girl can bust a move, I tell ya. ^^^

She takes after her father in that way.

 

^^^ Saturday evening Momma Gigi came to babysit ^^^

while Alex and I celebrated our third anniversary

with a date downtown.

^^^ We decided to trek up the Walking Bridge ^^^

after dinner but didn't even make it up the ramp before I decided that 

my heels + the glass of wine I had at dinner that left me uber tipsy + walking =

not the best combo.

We parked it on a bench swing instead and enjoyed each other's company

while witnessing many games of football and a pretty stellar breakdancing performance.

^^^ Since we didn't get to put GG to be last night ^^^

I needed lots of extra snuggle time this morning.

^^^ We took Greta to church for the first time today. ^^^

She was super pumped when we told her where we were going.

  

^^^ I was pretty nervous about her crying out in the middle of a prayer ^^^

but she did great. She loved the music and slept through most of the service.

It was a pretty amazing experience to attend church with my daughter.

I'm not going to lie, I was pretty weepy during worship. :)

^^^ After church, we drove to Frankfort ^^^

to meet my dear friend, Audrey, and her fiancé, Justin,

for lunch at Panera. It's always a pleasure seeing those two!
