Happy Monday to you!

It is a good Monday so far in Gasperini-Ville, I must say.  Since I got carried away with the Gasperini-Ville cheek posting, it's about time I updated on a few Friday/weekend events worth reporting...

The first was a rendezvous with sweet baby Sean (above with J) and his parents last Friday on their pass through Virginia.  We were thrilled to get to spend a little time together and the babies seemed to delight in seeing one another.  Too cute!  Sean is a few weeks more seasoned than J and now can boast a Notre Dame game amongst his baby to-do's.  They were on their way up to Baltimore to see ND v. Navy play at the Ravens' Stadium!!  And thanks to them, GG and Papa were also able to be a part of the game.  The uber fans left at 0600 and returned at 2030, wet, tired, and relieved at the win.  It was a fun day.

While the men were away "playing", M, J, and I attended M's first class birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's for a little girl in his class.  The cutest part of our morning was getting the chance to see M and his bff, Landon, play so adorably.  They were like peas and carrots, making sure to wait for one another before dashing off to the next game.  They sat next to one another at lunch and giggled together while singing "Happy Birthday".  Adorable!  It reminded me that I need to continue to pray for good friends for my boys.  So far, so good!!  Meanwhile, T and Mimi enjoyed a date to the library down the street (thanks Mimi!)  They read stories, played with some of the toys, and chose a few selections to bring back home.  What a special treat for T!

Sunday brought about more relaxation for all of us (thank goodness!)  The boys raked leaves and wrestled in the yard (bringing home more than enough grass stains, but who's complaining?)  We finished off the weekend with a trip to the Silver Diner, which opened a new restaurant close to us.  Talk about a packed house!  We're thinking that it will be the perfect breakfast joint (dinner?  Stick with shakes and breakfast!) :)

Smiles for a great day!
