We started our long weekend with a visit to Calvin, Jacob, and Meghan's house for some playtime. We had a great time even if our faces don't show it here!
Tizu really wants Grandma to crawl through the chair, but I didn't want to get stuck!
Tizu enjoyed helping Mallory crawl through the chair. Mallory fit better than Grandma did!
Enjoying an apple.
Tizu created some masterpieces for all of us.
Grandma, Tizu, and Gigi working on changing Mimi's diaper.
Grandpa shared his brownies with Tizu for breakfast.
Tizu and Gigi enjoyed many special bonding moments this weekend. What a lucky lady to have such a loving Great Grandma.
Cousin It (otherwise known as Gary) showed up for a visit! Tizu enjoyed pulling Alissa's hair in front of her face! We say she never looked better. Alissa is growing her hair for locks of love and it is really getting out of control long!
Some fun times with Mallory's sunglasses just before Tizu had to head home to Oshkosh.We had such a fun weekend when Courtney, Paul, Tizu, and Alissa came to visit. Courtney and Tizu arrived on Friday morning. We started with a fun visit to see the twins and Meghan. Tizu enjoyed playing with all the different toys especially the trucks and she loved throwing things with the boys!
After pizza for supper, Alissa and Courtney left for Madison where Paul's band was playing. John and I got to watch Tizita again! We read books, did some playing, and then I was able to get her sleep very easily. She slept through the night, another success!
On Saturday, Courtney and Alissa went shopping with their cousin Mallory who just got her license and a cadillac. How funny that Mal has the best car of the three of them! They enjoyed some great bonding time. John and I watched Tizu again and this time I was not successful in getting her to nap, but she napped on the way to Madison where she and Courtney went to pick up Paul and bring him back here. While they were gone Mallory, Alissa, and I played some cooking mama wii and got ourselves into such a goofy mood. We were laughing about anything and everything. It was a great afternoon.
Saturday evening we all settled in for Miss America. We all picked our favorites and watched it unfold. No one had picked Miss Indiana however so we had no big winner.
After the pageant Courtney asked if we would babysit yet again while she, Alissa, and Paul went out in Watertown. I guess we had done such a great job the night before. This time Tizu was already sleeping so it was a piece of cake for us.
On Sunday we all went to church and enjoyed lunch together before everyone left for home.
Everytime we spend time with our precious Tizita we marvel at this sweet little girl that has joined our family. She is adjusting so well to her new life here with all of us. We see her becoming more comfortable with our house and with all of us each time she visits. It is just such a joy to have her as part of our lives and I hardly remember a time she wasn't here with us. As I lay beside her watching her fall asleep I just say a prayer of thanks to God for bringing us together and I think of where she has come from and what she left behind. It is nothing short of a miracle that we ended up with her! A match made in heaven.

DITTO!
Well, Sherri... I just love all the pictures you share. ALthough I must say from the one picture it already looks as if you were stuck under the chair. I am sure if you had tried to crawl under you would have fit just fine ;o) And I loved the "cousin it" shot. That hair is definitely getting out of control but it will make a very lovely wig for someone in need. Seems to me like a perfect weekend was had by all!
