Beaner made me this beautiful sign!!!
Ava already loves her new cousin!
And she loves fireworks... she is too cute!!
I even got to spend time with Grandpa and Shirley!!
Ok, I have pictures with the other kids too, but she's the new one and this was the first time I ever got to meet her!! She loves me!!!We got lucky this 4th of July and got to have 4 days off! Knowing that this would be the last opportunity to take any kind of leave at all before little Houston gets here and before work gets crazy, I decided to take a short but much needed vacay home!! I surprised the whole family!! No one knew I was coming, well except Dave (and no, none of it was his doing or his idea despite what he may think!) but I needed an in somehow. First I surprised Theresa, then she and I somehow got Leslie up to Rochester. Followed by Kathy, she was at work so we had to tell her over the phone. Then we finally got Dad up to Theresa's. Although all of them were really surprised, I think he was the most. I called him from the bedroom, just having a normal conversation telling him how jealous I was that he got to spend so much time with the kids! Then I walked out and his face was priceless! He was teary eyed and all. But then again, I'm so lovable who wouldn't miss me so much they would cry!?! lol All in all it was a great weekend I had a blast, but it was definitely too short! I want to apologize to everyone I didn't get to spend time with! I do miss all of you but I only had a small amount of time!
