What a weekend!

Well, we had an interesting weekend to say the least! Sloane (Mary's 2 yr old) came and spent the night with us on Friday night for the first time. We had the best time playing with her - Lee or rather "Wee" or "Weebo" is her favorite person on the planet! We took her to Chick-fil-A and had so much fun being "pretend" parents. She is the easiest kid on the planet when it comes to bedtime - I told her at 8pm that is was time to go night-night - she grabbed her blankies and off to bed she went. We were still up and laughing at her as she sang "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" to herself in the guest bedroom. All was going great....until the storm hit! She is used to sleeping with a small fan on in her room to drown out all the other noises and we forgot to get it from Mary. So...she heard every little whoosh of the wind and boom of the thunder. Then the air sirens started going off (we live inside the city limits and they turn them on in case of tornado) and she was terrified! We got her up and turned on the news to see that there was some really bad weather coming our way. We loaded her up (along with all the blankies and pillows) and headed downstairs to the closet in the basement. We spread out a comfy, down comfortor and had an ice cream party in the closet. How fun is that!!?? The storm passed and we finally got her back to sleep around midnight after about a million comments and questions...."Wee, did you hear that noise? Wind blowing....thunder". It was priceless!!

Then on Saturday we helped host a Mexican Fiesta couples shower for Justin and Meghan at my parent's house. We had the best time as you can tell from the pictures below! Kristin, my cousin, is due in just two weeks with Millie. I love our belly picture b/c she is ready to pop and I am just starting to show. So cute!!
