Grandparent Visit!

We had a long Friday night!  Ainsley went to sleep in her crib great around 8 pm, 12 midnight she was jumping on her changing table--up until 3 am.  3 am, we took the crib a part hoping to make the changing table a separate item...that left the crib with only three sides!  We didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  3:30 am we introduced Ainsley to her big girl bed in desperation trying to get her to sleep.  Of course she was thrilled with her new bed--more jumping on the bed.  4 am Ryan suggests a car ride to put her to sleep.  After 10 minutes Ainsley was fast asleep in the car--Ryan and I swung by McDonalds we were starving at this time!  4:30 am back home and all in bed--Ainsley wakes up at 5:30 am ready for the day!  

Thankfully Ryan's parents were on their way for a weekend visit!  The timing couldn't have been better!  They arrived around 9 am, swooped in to love on Ainsley so we could catch up on sleep.  These two are a breath of fresh air!  This picture does not do the weekend justice--Ainsley LOVES her Grammie and Papa Larry--but she also loves to walk and not be carried these days.  So this was Ainsley on the go, clamoring to get running.  She had a special day on Saturday with her Grammie & Papa Larry.  They walked at the mall, rode the horses and ate some sweets I'm sure :)!  Thanks again Larry and Linda for loving on our sweet Ainsley and taking care of us too while we caught up on sleep.  Next time, I will take many more pictures when I'm not so sleep deprived! 

Ainsley is adjusting to her big girl bed, but thankfully back to sleeping better.

Ryan and I went out for lunch on Tuesday.  He chose the lunch place and I chose dessert.  There is a new cupcake place in town.  You can get a mini cupcake (the perfect size) and there was a sprinkle station--how fun is that!

Tonight I had a student dinner for work, so A & R went out on a date night and I joined them when I was all done with work.  These two are keepers!
