Aunt Meem Came To Meet Lydia Mae!

On Wednesday June 25, 2014, Anne Marie made the trip back to Metamora to visit us and to meet Lydia Mae. Mom was out of town and Dad was gone for work reasons so Anne stayed with us for the two nights she was back. The kids were so excited!!!!

 

She got into town Wednesday evening and headed straight to meet the baby. Then Mary, Anne, and Lydia came over to our house to have a slumber party!

Sweet Lydia. Look at that crazy hair!

Lydia looks scared.

I feel like she is saying, "Are you sure you know what you are doing?"

On Thursday we had a great day. We played. We ate. We spent the day just being together. Anne went to see a few friends and Mary went home to shower while the kids and I watched Lydia. Thursday night we had a reunion with the Pizzuti girls and Jessica and Brenna. Anne, John, and I met them at Bernardi's for a fabulous dinner. It was delicious. It was so good to catch up.

 

Then Anne and I came home. We had a nice little photoshoot in the yard...

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then we went on a bike ride. Anne had never pulled a trailor with 55 lbs of kids in it. :)

It was quite the work out.

How cute are those two????

They look a BIT scared.

We continued our fabulous slumber party. Charlotte LOVES Aunt Mee Mee and couldn't have been happier that she was here to spend time with her. (Sawyer loves her too but Charlotte is OBSESSED.)

 

On Friday morning we woke up and Anne and Charlotte were in charge of breakfast.

 

yummmmmmmm.... she feels it is a delicious masterpiece!

 We ended Anne's visit with us by heading to lunch at "Mr. Joe's" place....AKA Main Street Café.

It's a crowd favorite.

Gigi and her babies....clearly Sawyer was too buy eating to be bothered with a picture.

 

Super hero Sawyer!!!!!!!!

 

Love all of these people.

The Weber girls....minus Charlotte.

 

It really was a great few days. We miss Anne so much and wish she lived closer. Sometimes five hours is just too far. We wish she was just around the corner so we could do stuff like this all of the time. Thanks for coming to visit, Anne. It was nice that Mom and Dad were gone most of the time so you could stay with us!!!

 



Bare's Birthday and Visiting Lydia Mae

On June 8, 2014, we had a big day planned! It was a Sunday and it was the first full day that sweet Lydia Mae would be in this world! We got up and waited to talk to Mary about what time she wanted us to come visit. We headed over late morning to see them and to introduce the babies to Lydia Mae.

 

June 8 is also Mary's birthday so we took her a birthday present!

The kids didn't know what to expect. They are both very intrigued with hospitals so it was interesting to them that Aunt Bare was sitting in a hospital bed.

 

Charlotte meeting Lydia Mae for the first time.

How cute is her face????

And check out her hands. She is playing with them nervously.

Look at all of that hair :)

Gigi, Grandma Ann, Papa, and Katie were there too!

Clearly this guy had to be with Papa.

A few quiet minutes holding her new baby cousin and sitting with Aunt Bare.

 

I love this picture.

Pulling the blanket back so she can see her face better.

That sweet face....

 

Papa and his babies.

 

Dad brings his girls roses. It's always been his thing.

 

 

Great grandbaby #6 (with two more on the way as well).

Charlotte couldn't get enough.

 

 

 

 

So intrigued by this sweet baby.

Aunt Jaz and sweet Liddy girl.

Aunt Sarah just seems to boring. I shall go by Aunt Jaz

So he is in love.

Sawyer's face......

Giggles.

Alex is crazy about her.

 

 

Charlotte LOVES her "gwandma"

I love this picture.

This boy is so crazy about his "Maw Maw"

Smitten by another sweet baby.

Charlotte gave her bow to Lydia. Hilarious right?

 

We didn't stay terribly long. We knew they would have a ton of family and friends coming to visit. But we were all just smitten with this perfect baby. Who knew you could love someone else's kid so much?????

 

Welcome to this crazy world, Lydia Mae. You are so very loved already.
