Engaged

Aunt Ceecee came this weekend. She has new hardware. On Tuesday, the 22nd, in a complete surprise, her boyfriend pulled off an adorable proposal and even had the local paper there to capture the moment. We are so happy about the engagement and welcome Mike into our family with open hearts!

The children adore Aunt Ceecee and awaited her arrival with great anticipation. She came late Saturday, after the kids were in bed. Noelle begged for us to let her stay up, but the age of 5 isn't ready for a 10:30 bed time. So she fell asleep, gigantic smile glued to her delicate face, excited for Sunday morning to come.


It was a wonderful Sunday filled with many smiles, much needed hair cuts, and even some time with just the youngest. Noelle and Max went on a special outing to a play place then the store to pick our their own gifts. Due to the fact Aunt Ceecee does not have children the messiest gifts were gladly chosen and played with at upon arrival at home. The mess happened, the children loved it and I was okay with it.





Mike brought remote control helicopters. They were chased and greatly enjoyed.


It was a great visit and we look forward to many more, especially now we know Mike will be a permanent addition to the family.

Congratulations Charlotte! And at least she'll be 21 at her wedding so Andy won't have to come and buy her drinks! I'm glad you guys had a great visit with them, but let Charlotte know that when she has children, you'll repay her for the messy toys.
