This past week, we spent a lot of time with friends because James was out of town for business. It makes me feel so good to know that I am surrounded by such great friends and family and little companions for Val.
We had a potluck at our house for mamas and kiddos. The kids had so much fun running around and playing that only a few of them actually sat down to eat. The mamas had a time to connect and that is ALWAYS nice!
We spent the end of last week at the library story time, music class, and playgroup meeting new friends and seeing our favorite “teachers.” I’m loving this routine and Val seems to enjoy herself with the new toys and friends each week.
Over the weekend, I got to babysit for a friend’s little ones so we had a full house! Four babes ages 3 and under – including just a wee little one. I got to snuggle, and Val got to play with a bunch of kids her own age. And we also went to a playoff game at my brother’s house, where we spent time with family yelling for the Packers! 
Val got to play with her cousins – she even dressed up for a masquerade ball.
I hope your week was filled with friends and family too!
So cute! That is really nice that you have other Moms near by that you can get together with. I’m new to my area and haven’t met anyone yet… not really sure how to go about it LOL!
Oh well, I enjoy spending time with all of my online friends 
I’m meeting more people by going to free story time at the library or the cheap play time at the YMCA. Keep your eyes open for signs up at local community places or check meetup.com. Once you make one connection it’ll keep flowing.
Good luck!
