I really did write this a week ago (today is 3/31), I just haven't had a chance until now to upload the pictures~ I know this is a must :)
What a wonderfully fun and eventful weekend we have had! Thursday night, Mom and Dad (Grandma and Grandpa) Heselton came into town for one of their long-weekend visits. They typically come down to NC at least 2-3 per year to spend some quality time with us. This time, it just happened to work out for them to come the same week Coby turned ONE, and just in time might I add...
About a week and a half ago, we received our repair request for our current home. It was a little more intense than we had planned for and showed us that we had had a rather poor inspector when we purchased the home. Long a short of it, we had to have a general contractor come and take apart much of the deck, replace a band joist, install flashing, and replace the deck, and this was just ONE of the repair requests. The rest of the list was fairly lengthy as well. Luckily, I have an amazingly handy husband and father who were able to tackle the list with much hard work, and now with just one repair remaining (new garage door to be installed tomorrowish), we are ready to pass the house along to the buyers in just a few short weeks! Yay for Dad and Alain!
Friday, Grandma helped me take Coby to get his haircut. I must say, while it was fun to watch someone else cut Coby's hair, I think I will be saving some $ in the future as his cut is no better than when I did it back before the holidays. He is still the cutest despite the new do!
Saturday, we had a few friends and family come over for a birthday celebration! Coby was adorned with many toys and gifts and what a fun time we had. I think our friend Coreen put it perfectly: Toys are not lost on Coby- he LOVES them and plays hard every moment he is awake! After his party and a nap, we all (Grandpa, Grandma, Alain, Coby, and I, Keith, Julie, and their 4 kids) grabbed some pizzas from our favorite local pizza place (Lilly's) and took it to a park to eat dinner and play. It was a wonderful day!
We are now looking forward to our trip up to Ohio to spend Easter with family and celebrate Coby's First Birthday once again with more of our families! We can't wait!
