We had a nice and pretty relaxing weekend at home. We went to a car dealership at 9:00 on Saturday morning and traded in our Ford Ranger for a used full-size 2005 Dodge Ram truck. We have been looking for a full-size truck because we would like to be able to fit all four of us in the truck when we need to use it, and we couldn't do that with our Ranger. We think we got a pretty good deal, there wasn't a whole lot of cost difference between our trade and the price of the used truck. Trucks have come down so much in price, we actually paid less for the Ram than we paid for our Ranger over five years ago. Crazy! Jamie was pretty happy, it has been one of his lifelong dreams to have a full-size truck. The girls came with us to the dealership. They were very good even though they missed their morning nap, and we were there for almost two hours doing all of the paperwork.
Jamie's parents and his sister Jill stopped by for a visit in the afternoon. One of Jamie's Dad's friends passed away, so they came down to the cities for the visitation. Jill took the girls for a walk in their wagon, and Grandma Suchy helped give the girls a bath before they left. Otherwise we pretty much just relaxed and visited.
On Sunday, we spent most of the day just relaxing at home. The girls were a little fussy, so I took them for a walk in the wagon around 3:00. As soon as they got outside, their moods changed instantly. They were as happy as can be on our walk. We had some more company stop by around 4:00. Jamie's cousin Kraig came over with his wife and two-year-old daughter. They live just down the road from us, and we had not seen them for awhile. Jamie made chili for supper, and then we just hung out and watched some football. We had a nice visit! They left about 7:30 and then the girls went to bed. Jamie & I were pretty tired too, so we were in bed by 9:00. So much for being able to stay up late anymore!
Violet's new favorite thing is to shake her head back and forth as if she were saying "no." If you ask her a question, she will shake her head "no" and smile. She thinks she is pretty clever. She also loves to smack her lips while eating her food. Olivia's new thing is to blow a raspberry and spit everywhere. She thinks she is being funny. They both love to clap their hands together and play patty cake. Violet has been clapping her hands together for awhile, but Olivia just started a few weeks ago. They are at a very fun age!
