Exhausted...

When will that Daddy-guy get home?

So tired...I can't even burp!

Pooped!

Happy Monday, everyone!

We survived the crazy weekend, but I gotta tell ya, I'm exhausted!

It's hard work to host two large parties in 24 hours!

2nd Annual Cousins Day was even more fabulous than I had hoped!

The food was fantastic and the company couldn't have been better!

My cousins are my favorite people in the world - and it's the coolest thing, just sitting and laughing together!

Everyone was so complimentary of my house, the hard work I had put into the day, and they were full of thanks for having this day just to be us!

We barely escaped a late afternoon thunderstorm, but the rest of the day was spent on the patio, chasing Josh around my yard (explaining why a rain spout does what it does...?) and watching Brooke bounce in her 'saucer!'

We ate, relaxed, laughed, and enjoyed each other's company! Can it get any better than that?

2nd Annual Cousins Day!
(Meg and Josh, Me and Brooke, Abby, Neen, Stephy, Danaca, and Stacie!

Thanks, Christine, for taking the picture!)

After the craziness of Cousins Day was cleaned up, we enjoyed a quick evening at Nan and Pap's with Meg and Josh.

Meg and I made the first attempt to bath the kids together, but between Josh's sore butt and Brooke's fear of a HUGE tub, they both screamed for the entire 10 minute tub - leaving us zero chance at a cute bath tub picture! Geesh! Maybe next time!

Sunday morning began party responsibilities round 2!

I met up with the clan at the firehouse to prepare for Stacie's baby shower!

It went so smoothly and we so enjoyed pampering Stacie and celebrating the coming of baby Anna!

Isn't it a shame that I look as big as she does?? She hardly looks pregnant!

Aunt Meg and Nana took care of Brooke for most of the shower - thank goodness for family!

This is what Josh thinks of baby showers! Right, Meg?

Hawaiian style -Brookie!

Aunt Meg brought lots of Josh's old baby toys for Brooke to use until my niece is old enough to use them! She is too funny on this lion!

Coming up this week...

Grammy Kathy arrives tomorrow afternoon to spend some time with us! Later tomorrow evening, cousin Zoe graduates from pre-school, so we're hoping to be a part of that special event!

A special HAPPY BIRTHDAY wish to Halle Bug - Tomorrow, she turns 3! How is that happening?? Who told her to grow??

Wednesday, Leah and Caleb are coming for a playdate and hopefully a walk outside!

Thursday, Stacie and I are heading to the outlets to do some last-minute shopping for baby Anna! They are quickly running out of time before she comes!

That's it for now!

Have a great week, everyone!
