Pool Day At Gigi's

We had a nice little pool day at Gigi and Papa's house. We invited Jodi and her girls and Maegen and her girls. Bare and Liddy came down too. We all played outside and pretty much avoided the pool. It was pretty cold and in the shade the entire time. But the kids all played with the toys in the yard and had fun. We had a delicious lunch of frozen pizza and raw vegetables and chips then the naps needed to happen. Sawyer went down for a nap and Maegen took her girls home. Ella and Charlotte were able to play together a bit longer.

 

This is the result of that....

 

A beautiful blue eyed red head with lipstick.

Charlotte is a different story.....

Clearly she was a bit overzealous with the make up.

And this little beauty sat and watched and I know she made fun of them in her head.

And this sweet girl loved on everyone and only had a few fits. Doesn't she just look perfect????

 

 

I wish I had taken more pictures but of course I didn't....

 

It was a great day. I love watching my babes play with their friends.

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!!!

 



Lydia Mae's Newborn photos

Here is a bunch of the pictures I took of Lydia in her first few weeks of life. Despite having fussy periods and not being much of a napper, we still got some good pictures of her.

 

We are so in love with her!!

 

This one is my favorite... I am in love.

We really wanted to use the suitcase but we had spent WAY too much time photographing this day. She was SO over it. This is the ONLY one that wasn't blurry or didn't have a screaming babe in it.
