Good Time had by Owl...

I hosted (with a lot of help!) a baby shower here at my nest for my cousin Erin this past Saturday. It was a Hoot.

Also, the theme was owls. In case you weren't catching my bird references :)

Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Connor stayed with us and I want to be selfish and say: "You should stay with us every time." :)

How cute is this cake that my mom brought?

The-one-and-truly-only-Aunt Michelle giving directions about an activity:

Friends!

Girls like to eat!

This is the lovely Mom to Be :) And that's Baby Clara in her belly :)

Hard at work on a nursery rhyme game.....

While Aunt Nancy was cheating by asking a three-year-old :)

Gifts!

Erin looking through some photos of when she was a baby!

My immediate family hung around after the shower was over to have a birthday dinner for my grandma. She played a few games (this is Chutes and Ladders)

And we sang Happy Birthday (with a few harmony parts!)

It was a fun weekend!!

April Hope

Praise God! We are thrilled to announce the birth of April Hope, born this morning at 4:42 a.m. and weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We think she is beautiful! Both April and Alison are doing great. Here are just a few of many pictures taken on her first day. More to come...

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime. Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven! "the farmer and the chef" :)
