A busy week!

It has been quite the busy week around here. Emma is just over a week old and doing very well. She pretty much just sleeps all day and night, but is quite the sweetie when she opens her eyes for the little time she does each day. Maria is still doing very well being the big sister! She helps pick up and brings us diapers for Emma. She gives Emma her blanket and other toys, and she loves giving kisses to her. Joe was home all last week too and it was very nice to have some family time. Now for his last week of work before starting a new job! :)

We got a lot of work done on our house this week compared to the previous many weeks. Maria's room in the basement got some fresh, bright paint for one! There is a lot to do down there before she moves in, but we are getting closer!



And the garage is getting closer to having a roof. As long as it happens before the snow flies, that's all that matters to me.

This past weekend brought out many fun activities. Friday, Joe and I took the kids to the fair in town. It was very wet because of all the storms from the night before, but Maria enjoyed seeing all the animals!



Friday night, Joe and his family took Maria to a Beetles Baseball game. She had lots of fun and especially liked her new tattoo of the team's mascot on her arm. Saturday was a busy day of Dragon Boat racing. Our team the "Hot Shots" won the team spirit award!



Saturday night was a fun night at the cabin with the family to celebrate my cousin and my birthday. And on the way home... a beautiful double rainbow filled the sky. SOO PRETTY!



Sunday, we celebrated the baptism of Emma. We had a wonderful service followed by rolls and coffee. It was a very nice morning followed by a family reunion in the park. What a great week of celebrations!



Hope you had a good week!
