Our day off and it's 91 degrees in Rochester!

Yep, you read that right. It got up to 91 degrees in Rochester on Friday. Crazy huh? It was a fantastic day to be off work. Not only was the weather gorgeous, Malea and I also got to join in another playdate party! We met up with many of our old friends and met some new ones too! We now have some kiddos who are starting to be mobile. In another few short months, our playdates will take on a whole new dynamic as we chase our little ones around the house. Luckily for me, Malea is quite content sitting up and playing with toys, and when she decides she wants to roll over usually just rolls from front-to-back, or back-to-front and hangs out there for a good while. Here are a few pictures from the get together:

Here we are, cheesing for the camera!


A circle of friends...


Moms and babies - it was quite the full house!


When Felix came home that evening, Malea was so excited to tell him about our day. She's quite the jokester and with a few giggles can get her mom and dad to jump on the laugh bandwagon too. (Don't mind her wet chest... we were practicing drinking out of a cup after one of her friends Isaac showed off his skills at our playdate.)




On Saturday morning, the weather had taken a dramatic turn - it was chilly and gray after a night of thunderstorms and hail. Crazy midwest weather! I ventured out early to give a presentation at an ENT departmental retreat (always fun to work on the weekend!). The theme was Hawaiian and I brought home a memento of meeting. Malea and I decided that even though it was cold outside, it was all tropical in the Diehn house. What do you think of our little Hawaiian girl?!
