What a weekend

We had lots of fun this past weekend. Duncan's whole family was in town. His Mom came in from Virgina, his Dad from Kansas, and his Sister, Brother in law and Nephew came from Texas. Since they are all so spread out it is always fun for them to be all together in one place, especially now that there are 2 Grandchildren. Makayla got to meet her cousin Adam for the first time. It was fun watching them check each other out. We were promting Adam to say 'baby' and point to Makayla, and sure enough he did.

Adam is such a cutie! Me and Duncan had a blast with him. I can't wait til Makayla gets to the age where we can play with her!



Makayla's Uncle Chris had his 21st birthday Saturday. They had horse-shoe and Volleyball set up. Duncan's dad and I sat on the side lines of the Volleyball game and watched Duncan, his Sister and his mom play volleyball. I don't think anything could have made Duncan's mom more happy than to spend the weekend with her children, husband and Grandchildren.
Here we all are from left to right starting at the top is Adam, held by Chris, Jessica (Duncan's sister), Duncan, Me holding Makayla, and the proud Grandparents sitting in the chairs.

The is Jessie- holding Adam, and Chris. Look at Adam sucking that thumb! He is just as in love with his thumb as Makayla is with her pacifire.

Here's Aunty Jessie admiring her neice. Between her and her mom, I barely saw Makayla the whole weekend. Of course Makayla didn't seem to mind. She seems to love everyone, especially if they have a conversation with her.

This picture of Jill and her 2 grandkids was taken at the bowling alley. I think we were playing pass around the babies more than bowling. Everytime someone had a turn it seems like they were holding one of the little ones and had to find someone to hand them off to.

Makayla is starting to do more and more lately. Friday we were all headed to Makayla's Uncles parents house and we stopped to eat at Taco Bell. Makayla was sitting in her car seat, on another table, while we all ate. I happened to look over just in time to see her holding onto the sheep that is dangeling from her carseat. When her hands slipped off of it, she concentrated so hard until she had it back in her hands. I was so in shock I gasped for air almost giving Duncan and his dad heart attacks. They said they were expecting to look over and see her falling off the table or something. Sorry guys! I just can't help it. When I see her do little things like that I get so excited.

We had a great weekend, and a hard time starting back to work on Monday, but we managed. Somehow we always manage, we are just not always happy about it. It's Friday again, so we can enjoy the weekend and spend time with our gorgeous baby! I hope you all have a great weekend.
