Weekend Visitors

We were so happy to have Mimi and Poppop come and stay with us for the weekend. We enjoyed their visit, and so did Chloe! Every grandparent knows that the way to win over grandchildren is through gifts (just kidding! but it worked! :)). Here is Chloe opening a present when Mimi and Poppop first arrived:

and it was a....baby doll! Right now, Chloe likes to chew on her headband :) Maybe someday she'll actually play with her :)

Chloe and Poppop had discussions about important things while she was waiting for her dinner....

and of course, while Mimi and Pop are visiting we play lots of cards. Even Chloe got in on the action:

Chloe started doing this while 'talking' with Mimi during some play time on Saturday. Every time Mimi looked over, Chloe would lean over and tilt her head to the side....

Poppop read Chloe's favorite book to her before bedtime....

After church on Sunday we were treated to lunch at the Olive Garden (thank you!!!) and then we had to say goodbye. Our next visit can't be soon enough! Thank you for coming Mimi and Pop!

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
