Meeting Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mikey!

Well, November is shaping up to be a busy month! This past weekend we had a short but oh-so-sweet visit from Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mikey! For those reading, that don't know, Jenn is my best friend from home and Mike is my cousin. I hadn't seen them since their Vegas wedding almost 3 years ago (Richard had stayed home with the twins while I went to perform my maid of honor duties!). They live all the way in Arizona so it's hard meeting up. Due to our alternating travel schedules and/or lack of vacation time we haven't had a chance to get together since.

So Saturday afternoon, Joe, Carrie and the kiddos, brought Jenn and Mike up to our house for pizza. Juliet has changed a lot just in the last month. Sitting up, wanting to interact -- intrigued by hair beads. Ben and the girls enjoyed playing 'hot potato' with the adults. Great and Uncle Freddy joined us later in the evening. Jenn and Mike were good sports in getting mauled by all our offspring - a lot of pretend hair cutting and doctor checkups (at the same time!).

Nothing like a hair cut, while getting your blood pressure checked.
Not sure what good a stethoscope is on hair (does hair have a heartbeat?).

Uncle Mikey needs 20 shots (of the needle-kind).

Aunt Jenny and MiMo - all striped out!

Once everyone else had left and the kids were in bed, we had a bit of time to chat and catch up. Like old times. It was nice. I miss having those guys around!!!

Sunday morning, I took them to the airport. When I got home, the girls were looking for them :-( Can't wait for the next visit!!

Sunday afternoon, our neighbor, Jas, came to observe us for her psychology class dealing with families and child development. It was pretty easy, since she knows us anyway (she babysits for us). Unfortunately, the kids were more lethargic than usual. We've been battling a cold since our trip to NY. Grace vegged on the couch all day.

Waiting to see what next weekend holds...
