Our rescheduled Buffington Family get together was today! The weather was awesome..in fact pretty warm! For the past 3 years, we have had the Buffington family down to our house for chili and some good family time.  It is typically in February and we make chili..but today was really warm! However, the chili was still very good and we had LOTS of good family time! Jack loves playing with his second cousins, Douglas and Lily! Today was no exception! Jack was so tired by the time he got in bed..he didnt make another sound after we said good night! It was really great to see everyone today.  LOVE the time change..it was nice to be outside later tonight! The kids loved playing with Nunno and Poppa too! The one interesting thing that happened tonight was that Lucy did not want anyone but me (or Daddy) to hold her. That is sweet...BUT that makes it difficult for others to help and to get to know her! I love having a mommy's girl and love holding her, but hope it was just the fact that there were so many people around and a little loud with 3 kids running around. Hmmm.... hope that won't be the case in the future! She is so happy and fun! I love hearing her squeal and talk..hopefully she will let everyone else play with her like that!

We had a really good week and weekend. Daddy had to work all day yesterday so we missed him (I really missed him with both kids!) He had a successful Open House at the track so it was worth it! Jack, Lucy and I played outside and ran some errands! We went to Ace Hardware to get some charcoal so we could grill out, and they were so nice to us! They greeted us at the door (maybe they were worried about me walking in with a roaming 3 year old and a stroller) and got Jack a balloon and helped us out to the car with the charcoal! They have got my business! It was a nice little errand! We had Beer Can Chicken last night for dinner and it was so yummy!

We start Music Class tomorrow (very excited about starting this with Jack again..just hoping Lucy will behave) and have a busy week getting ready for Lucy's Christening! It should be a fun fast week!
