Awards all around

Wow…what a big weekend. The crazyness started on Friday when Aunt Carrie came down to relieve Ganny on baby duty. I don’t know who ended up more tired, me or Aunt Carrie. We had fun, though, but I get the impression that I won’t have any cousins for a while.

Ganny had to leave early because Poppa got a good boy present from his work. He won two awards from Toyota and they went to Chicago to party it up. They had a big fancy dinner and went to see The Lion King. It sounds like fun, but we were preparing for our own adventures at home.

We got up at the usual time on Saturday and then Mommy and Daddy started running around. They were trowing stuff in the car and we took off for a BIG car ride. We drove up to Chicago, too, to play with Kopp and Rita. They are going to have a little baby soon and I wanted to work them over and whip them in to baby shape. It was a fun trip and I got to play with their puppies, Max and Molly. I thought they were pretty cool and I think that we need a puppy now. Daddy is in but I still need to work on Mommy.

We came back to Indiana Saturday, but then were up and going again Sunday. Mommy went shopping and daddy hung out in his jammies until it was ready to get dressed and go see Grandpa. Grandpa French won a good present from his work, too. He is on the Wall of Fame at the Tippecanoe County Board of Education. That means he is smart. I kinda missed his speech because either Uncle Manata was making me laugh or I was snoozing. We went out to eat afterwards and I tried some banannas…I’m not quite sure about those yet. We’re going to try them again tonight and I’ll let you know if they grow on me.
