This video is from the weekend of Sept 20-22 when we visited Aunt Erica and Joe in Chicago, in the video Mason was helping Aunt Erica celebrate choosing a wedding date, venue and church!!! Very impressive since it was less than a week from the day they got engaged! Mason is about 14.5months and this was the first weekend I had been retired!

Play dates!!!

We love doing play dates during the week now that I am a stay at home mom!!! 

Last week we had a little play date with Henry Stone (15mo) Little Miss Peggy Sansone (5weeks) and Katie and Maureen! Henry and mason loved playing together in Henry's Tee-Pee and reading books! 

This morning we had a breakfast date with Miss Colleen, Ryan (25mo) and maddie (2mo). And then We tried out a new playroom at Chesterfield  mall called Toy Tyme! Mason and Ryan got along great and interacted a ton! They split some chocolate chip pancakes, oranges and eggs at breakfast.  And they loved playing together at Toy Tyme!
