Our big weekend!

Anna Kate FINALLY met her Uncle Ben, Aunt Lacy and Grangranny! :) We had a great weekend celebrating my daddy's birthday Saturday until this massive thunderstorm dumped about 2 ft of water in about 45 minutes! My mom and dad have had some concerns about the drainage on their lot, but this storm confirmed them all! The water was LITERALY 1/2 inch from coming IN THE HOUSE...their front yard looked like a rushing river...it was scary! But afterwards we improved the mood with some homemade ice cream and play time with Anna Kate! I'll post a video. Sunday was spent visiting family and making our weekly run to Earthfare for groceries! It was a busy but extremely good weekend. It was so good to see Ben, Lacy and Grangranny! Hopefully, it won't be too long before we see them again!

First picture with Uncle Ben! (not the rice man)


With Uncle Ben and Aunt Lacy...minus the bandana! Thanks to Aunt Lacy ;)


First picture with Grangranny...she had the best time with Grangranny! It's no wonder...she was the best grandmother EVER to five grandkids of her own!


Watching TV with Aunt Lacy and Uncle Ben


Grangranny fed her


Happy Birthday Daddy! Hope you liked your banana pudding!


I told you I'd put this picture on the blog, Uncle Ben! ;)


Even in the middle of it all, we're still stupid in love with our new baby girl! :)



Then the rains came...



...and came! That's Uncle Ben at the end of the driveway! Believe it or not, the waters had already receded a bit!



Uncle Ben even got in on the feeding action!



I think this one might be a favorite!

SO much fun...

(stay with me)

Ben looks so different...

I didn't know she and Grangranny hadn't yet met...that's awesome.

I agree with you on the "might be a favorite" photo...love that.

Happy Birthday to your Dad!

The rain water is crazy.

Love, love, love the pictures. Thanks for all of the updates!!!

Okay, you were not kidding about a "water issue". Wow! Great new pictures, she is just precious!

I think that storm skipped my house. I don't remember it happening anyway. Cute pics. Anna Kate is getting so big. Her eyes are gorgeous.
