Weekend and another baby

We had a nice weekend. My great friend Wendy who was my roommate through college and maid of honor in our wedding came and stayed this weekend. We had a great time of catching up. It had been close to a year and a half since we've seen each other-usually we see each other at least once a year but life gets busy!

Saturday we had a leisurely breakfast and coffee and then Wendy watched a movie with the kids while I did some things to get ready for my party that night. We dropped Samantha off at a birthday party and went to lunch at Olive Garden around one. After lunch we went to the movie "When In Rome." We picked the movie mostly because of the start time but also because it starred Josh Duhamel. He was in college at MSU the same time we were there. It was actually a pretty good movie-clean enough that I would let the kids watch it.

When we got home Bruce had made scotcheroos for the party (what a guy) and Wendy helped me get some other things ready. The party guests arrived at seven and Wendy enjoyed visiting our book club. We had a full house and newborns twins here too-thanks for bringing the girls, Pam! After everyone left, Wendy and I tried to think of friends from college to look up on Facebook and we did find some. Wendy left around ten this morning.

Another of last night's attendees at the party was my friend Heidi. She was due to have a baby yesterday. She had said when I told her the date of the party that she probably wouldn't be there because since that was her due date and she'd be pretty disappointed if she hadn't had her baby by then. It was nice she could come and some of us gave her a bad time about still being pregnant. I did mention to her that maybe she'd been in the hospital the same time as my cousin Raylene who was due February 10th and that would save me a visit. Well it turns out Raylene had her baby girl last night at 10:17 p.m. I went and saw them today. Averie Elizabeth weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. She's a cutie. Guess I'll be going to see Heidi at some other time-hopefully for her it's very soon!

Tell Raylene she picked a nice middle name for Averie! it sounds like she had a quick labor!

Tell Bruce his scotcheroos were fabulous! They are my favorite.

I had a lot of fun last night, it was nice to get out! The girls liked it too!
