Gymnastics, soccer, ice-skating, dentist, allergy doctor and school has wiped me out, but the weekend has been great spending time with family! My mom and sister and little nephew Hunter came to visit on Saturday...

It was great weather for one last swim of the summer and swinging...








Sunday we met Dan's family {about all 40 of us!} and had lunch!
{yep...that's me...all the way in the back...pressed firmly up against the wall!}

I love that we are so fortunate to have family so close and can get together for any occasion...sometimes for no reason at all...just because! Today, however, we were celebrating the arrival of Andrew Michael, the super sweet little guy in the front! Congrats Annie and Jon...he's perfect! {Except for the Purdue shirt...but that's not his fault! Only kidding!} And also the chance to catch up with Jeff and Allison who are visiting from Michigan and their super adorable little girl Natalie! Love those cheeks!
I hope that your weekend is just as blessed! Happy Labor Day!

What a fun time with family. super cute pictures. Love the feet on the swing. Cute TUTU also. Have a super Labor Day!

ReplyDeleteLove the swinging pictures and the 'perspectives' you chose. You've got such a great eye!
Looks like a fun weekend...those 3 day weekends are just the best! I love Emily's tutu!
ReplyDeleteNothing like celebrating a new baby! I think Jamison and Emily would get along so well in their princess gear. Is it time to shut the pool down?
ReplyDeleteFamily times are the best times. It is always a great time to gather together around a new baby added to the family. Celebration time for sure!
ReplyDeleteReally cool pictures, Carrie! Love the dress. Can't wait to buy stuff like that.
