>The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck<

Well, for some reason it seems like I have to type some words inbetween the photos. I keep trying to just put pictures up, and it doesn't like that very much.

Things have been going pretty well - nothing too much new around here. Just waiting for time to pass for the new baby to arrive: )
As of today, the due date is 1 week and 6 days away! So I am very excited and looking forward to meeting this baby - and so is Kaylin. I keep asking her if she thinks she is going to get a baby brother or a baby sister and she says it's a brother! I am in 100% agreement with her on this one, so we'll see! I am hoping it's a boy only because Brian and I cannot choose a girl's name that both of us can agree on whatsoever.
I had a prenatal on Wed. and the Dr. said that everything looks just wonderful and that the baby is so low, it might just fall out this time (ha! wouldn't that be cool!) He didn't exactly say it like that, but he did say that it looks like it could be soon and everything is right where it needs to be.

My cousin's wedding this past weekend was a good time had by all who attended. The ceremony was at St. Paul's on Vollmer Rd. and then the reception was at the DoubleTree Hotel in Alsip. Everything was really lovely. Shanna and Ryan looked very happy and very much in love - I am sure that they had a wonderful day too ; ) Kaylin pretty much tore up the dance floor with Syd the entire evening. Getting her to leave was almost impossible - she screamed bloody murder like we were cutting off her limbs, but she was asleep before we were even out of the parking lot!

Last night Amanda threw us a "casserole shower" (everyone who comes brings a casserole for us to freeze for when the baby arrives). It was really nice to visit with everyone - and also nice to see the fridge full of food! It's such a wonderful relief to not have to worry about what to eat when the baby is here. We had something similar when I pregnant with Kaylin and we didn't have to go grocery shopping for weeks it seemed! So we are really grateful to Amanda for doing that for us : )
I'll try and get some photos of the evening up here too.
