The so many pictures, so little time Edition

Our weekend was a scrapbooker's dream. Lots of family, fellowship, friends and photo opportunities.

I'm proud to say that my ribs were a hit. Which is quite the compliment coming from Texans.

They were D's favorite too. If you couldn't tell.

E was more into the chicken. Probably because she doesn't have enough teeth to chow down on some ribs.

In a rare moment, all the kids and grandkids were in one place at the same time. This is Micah's first opportunity to meet the family outside the hospital. Although I'm sure all the flashes from the cameras felt a little like an anxiety attack.

We were so fortunate to spend time with Aunt Dee Dee (with grammy). This is the first time she's met Zoe. Last time we got to visit with her, Zoe was still incubating. We were glad she was able to make it. She's such a wonderful blessing, not to mention hilarious.

In another rare moment, Micah was awake and ready to party. His mom sure can bring out the smiles. We can't wait for the giggles and cooing next.

Once the BBQ festivities were complete, it was off to bed to rest-up for the next round of visitors. Phil, Anna and their daughters came over Monday morning for coffee and cinnamon rolls. Phil and Neil were BFF's in high school. Anna and I were BFF's then too. Now when we get together, it's like mini-reunion/great time. Not to mention their girls are around Zoe's age, so there is much laughter and playing.

They are in high demand when they come for a visit. We feel very fortunate to have any amount of their time to catch-up. We're hoping to do it again very soon, but next time we'll go to them.

After our mini-reunion, Grammie C (N's mom) took the girls school shopping, while Bev and I went shopping for the wee-ones. In addition to some very cute school clothes, the girls got to build their own bears. Danni made Jasmin and Erin made Miss Fairy. Zoe has Lamby, (we're not as creative on the names) who came pre-assembled.

These bears come with an adoption certificate, colored eyes (blue and purple, although not on the same bear), wings and shoes. Can we say high-maintenance?

Now it's back to school and work.
