Families and the Fourth

The week of July 4th was loaded with family, friends and the beautiful granddaughter. Really, what more could you have wanted... Well it was really cold and no one was quite prepared for it. What happened to swimming, racing around the yard in shorts and barefeet? Windows open, fans on? No, there was little of that. The sun was out, sort of, but the wind was howling and the occasional rain reminded us that in Boone, you just wait a little while and the weather changes. In addition, the cold winds can come anytime. I guess it was better to be cool than to be boiling. Certainly, the flowers loved the weather, the hummingbirds were all out, and we had a full house. Katrina road with me (after having been traumatized by the dentist), and we found a wonderful consignment store where a great stroller, and hoodie amongst other cute baby items were found.
Michelle, Lexton and Lyriella were the first to arrive.



Grandma had to get her time in quickly because I knew that as soon as Auntie Chrissy arrived would be the end of my baby time.

Chrissy came on Wednesday night, John and Dagney on Thursday, and Jan and Andrea on Friday. Fun times with new drinks, cigars, babies and some insanity
Here, mommy allows Aunt Chrissy to Head butt her daughter.













Auntie Chrissy and Auntie Kate settle into their jobs.

















Grandpa John gets his chance (Headbutting is popular)

Dagney's grandchildren are growing up; thus, she has to adopt more! Lyriella helps Kate play Rummikub.
















At the end of the day-and weekend, a great time was had by all! Unfortunately, the kitties were not impressed.
