Visit to Mimi & Poppop's

We got to visit with Mimi and Poppop this past weekend! We started off the weekend with a visit from Mrs. Fay - and April wanted to show her shades off while Mrs. Fay was there :)


Chloe taught her about her computer:

and we got this picture of the two together - Can you see the love between them? :)


I think the other highlight of the trip (besides Mimi's wonderful cooking) was a trip to a local playground & seeing the ducks. I was back at the house to watch over April while she was napping (really hard work!) and Mimi stayed back too (to do a hard job of cooking a turkey!) so it was just Dad, Poppop, and Chloe.

Here she is with the ducks!

oh, I didn't mention that she had NO FEAR of these ducks? I mean, seriously, no fear. They come up to her waist and here she is casually feeding one FROM HER HAND.

After the bread, she moved on to dried corn kernels - I don't know who was more excited, the ducks or Chloe! :)

Meanwhile, back at home, April was teaching Uncle Sandy how to crawl ;)

And, Auntie Kristen stopped in on Saturday for a quick hello (and a left-over plate!).


Overall, it was a wonderful trip.....and I realize I haven't even posted a picture of the hosts! Thank you for a great visit Mimi and Poppop!!

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
