Catching Up

There have been a million (well, at least 5-7) photos that I have wanted to post and just haven't felt like sitting at the computer. So, here they are all in one bundle jumping around between events last week and our action packed weekend.

Vera had a big day on Thursday, she got a package from Amazon! In her mind there really is nothing better than getting a package and this one was from her very own Aunt Stephanie. Aunt Steph sent her the new Fancy Nancy book Explorer Extraordinaire. In it, Nancy and Bree (Nancy's best friend), explore their collective backyards for creepy-crawlies and all kinds of nature goodness. There is also directions for a pinecone bird feeder.


We of course had to make one. As J said, looks a little disgusting. To date we are still waiting for our birds.


In other news, Vera and Keller have reached a stage where they are starting to finally play together. I have high hopes that they are going to be best friends...or at least like each other a bit.



Our weekend ended on Sunday with a BBQ at friend's house. Keller discovered a new toy, which was awesome.

Vera discovered the fun of water play.


She also discovered our friend's twin's carseats. Hours of imaginative play were at hand. Her babies, who she talked to for a good hour, are Racy and Raisen. Raisen is a boy and Racy a girl...just in case you couldn't tell. Oh, what, you can't see them. They are right there in the carseats.


But, the biggest news of the weekend is that our friend CC had her baby! We have a faux niece to shower with love and are so excited. She weighed in at 6lbs 14oz and mom and baby are both doing great. So precious!
