Baby Shower and Celebrating A 97th Birthday

 

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your weekends were great! Ours certainly was and it was so busy that it flew by! Blinked and now it’s over!

Ryan and I started off our weekend by doing our June date! There was no way we were going to miss this month! Ha ha! We also had to give Sam his bath on Friday. Bath time has sort of become Ryan’s time with Sam. I love to sit back and watch them interact. Seeing him hold that little naked bum melts my heart everytime!

Saturday morning Sam and I were off to work for our LAST Saturday work shift! Somehow knowing it was the last Saturday of the summer that I had to work made me less grumpy about waking up early on Saturday morning! Thankfully the morning passed quickly!

After work Sam and I picked up my Mom and we headed to the baby shower of cousin and long time friend Shannon. She and her husband Casey are expecting their baby girl in August! We can’t wait to meet her!

Sunday morning we all headed to church and then had a relaxing lunch at my parents before we packed up to head to a 97th birthday party for my Aunt Elaine! My Aunt Elaine was a very important figure in my life growing up and I was excited to celebrate this awesome lady! It was also her first time meeting Samuel!

Grandma with our newest little family member, Emily! Aunt Elaine with Sam! It amazes me how these wonderful ladies held and handled these babies like it was nothing! I guess you never lose that maternal instinct! P.S – Don’t I have amazing genes?

I was especially looking forward to meeting my newest cousin Emily as well! My cousin Sheila and were pregnant at the same time and we both didn’t know what we were having! It has been great to go through my pregnancy with such an amazing girl! I look forward to seeing Sam and Emily interact at future family functions!

It was a great afternoon with so many family members celebrating a wonderful woman! Sam got to meet many family members for the very first time.

When we got home we all got ready for bed and crashed after such a busy weekend! It passed by way too quickly but it was filled with so many great memories!

How was your weekend?
