Saturday afternoon was a Bridal shower for Laura who's getting married the end of July.
Laura and Susannah (who is a great contortionist!)

Sunday afternoon Rachel and Ted threw their bi-annual party with food and games a-plenty. Here my brother-in-law, Linden (Julia's husband), my sisters Lucy and Katie, and my oldest brother, Luke, are playing Monopoly. Linden is a HUGE Monopoly player.
In the evening they had a hot-dog roast with S'mores :) Here's my sister, Rachel, roasting a marshmallow (Katie's in the background).
My oldest sister, Gail, and her son, Bobby.
It was a fun weekend. Since Daniel had off on Monday it was nice to not have to feel like we needed to leave the party early to make it back home Sunday night. We'd planned to come home Sunday, but since we didn't have to we stayed another night. I'm afraid Lucy didn't get to sleep in a bed much while she was visiting! Rachel and Ted only have one guest bed and Lucy was staying at their house, too. She got promoted to the couch while we were there. Thanks, Lucy!! Since all the partying was at Rachel and Ted's house, it was much easier to just stay there. We could leave the pak'n'play set up and not have to drag diaper bags and whatnot hither and yon from place to place. Plus Daniel always has a great time helping Ted with his farmwork. Saturday night he said he did a "me" thing and HE was the one keeping us awake talking about his day :P

I'm glad you all had such a nice change and a good weekend. I know it was a lot of work too (but most of that work happens and needs done no matter where you are). We enjoyed seeing everyone and I wish I had had more energy to spend more time at the parties.
It's wonderful spending a holiday with our loved ones. Glad your family finally got to see Susannah.
Looks like you had a relaxing weekend...it's always fun to be around family :)
Miriam~ So I checked out your sister's blog... wow... You have a lot of sisters! I bet you guys had tons of fun growing up. I only have one brother, who just happens to be a firefighter AND single so if you have any sisters who are single;) I'm just kidding!
Glad you had a good time visiting your family! I think you were smarter than us, we went camping over the weekend but we got SOAKED on our last day!
PS. Can I just say that everytime you post pics of Susannah I get serious baby fever! She is such a cutie :)
