Labor Day with Family


My brother Garry (who will be a daddy in February!)



"Shaving" Sean with a toy

Tonya (sister),Pax (rocking her houndstooth onesie), Sarah (SIL and 15 weeks prego! I'm finally going to be an aunt) and Sean (future BIL)

We have a table that seats 10 but instead they chose to crowd around the 4 person kitchen table because Madeline didnt want to move into the dining room. Suckers...

Celebrating mom's birthday (a little early). One memory that I don't want to forget. As Lance brought out mom's cake, he lost control and it almost slid off the cake stand over the stairs to the basement. Unfortunately no one was videoing it. If it had fallen, it totally would have been sent into America's Funniest Homevideos.

Poppy letting Paxton nap on him for hours. We call him the baby whisperer. He has the patience to deal with a crying/tired baby. My sister was also very good at getting P to sleep

First bath tonight. It took forever for that stupid cord to fall off!

Cried herself to sleep. So tired she is sleeping sitting up

My whole family came to visit over Labor Day. It was great to be together and we actually had incredible weather! We took lots of family walks, ate outside and did a few home improvements. We also had a family photo done, but I will have to post that later. We hardly ever get to all be together. Sadly, its like once a year, so it was great to have an excuse (Paxton) to get together. Madeline loved having her aunts and uncles around. She loved having Tonya push her on walks, loved being read to by her and Sarah, loved playing with Garry and Sean, and loved waking everyone up in the morning. She was so sad to see everyone go as well. It was great to have 10 people under one roof! Only wish my bathrooms were a little bigger. Old houses, small closets and bathrooms. Thanks fam for coming!
