Weekend Visitors

We (mostly Jason) have been working like crazy on the house the past few weeks trying to get everything done before the baby gets here. We aren't finished, but have made lots of progress! Jason & I decided we would invite our families out to visit to see the new house before the baby arrives. Jason had to work all day yesterday so we were a few projects short of where we thought we would be, but we had a great time and have something to keep us busy this week! I will post updated pictures of the house eventually, but here are some from our day today. We ate lunch, toured the house, played/watched a game of croquet, and just got to hang out for a while! It cooled off and was a nice afternoon to sit outside and enjoy our backyard.

The group hanging out outsideAndi getting ready to go down the slide

TJ's turn, I think he wore himself out today- I hope he sleeps good tonight!Stephanie didn't get to go down the slide, but she had fun swinging

TJ getting a ride through the trees- he loved when dad walked him into the leaves
Just hanging out at the fire pit (no fire though)
Putting the croquet set together- thanks for the wedding gift Jessi & Travis- we
finally got to use it The beginning of the match....all even
Chelsey taking her turn
Timeout in the action for a picture of the preggo girls and we made our husbands join us for a couple too
Leslie & Chase evaluating their shot
Jason waiting his turn.

I didn't get a good picture of the big winner, Travis. I am guessing since Jason didn't win we may be getting the set out and practicing so he can beat Travis next time! Les maybe we can loan you a ball & mallet to practice at home too (just kidding)! :)

We had a great time and are thankful to everyone that was able to make the trip over! After everyone left this evening- Jason did a few things around the house and we cleaned up, but we mostly vegged out in front of the tv. 9 days until my due date, the baby bed is put together and we can survive without getting the rest of our (my) list being finished before the baby so I don't think we will do a single thing except eat supper and watch tv tomorrow night. I am ready for a little break from the "house" work!

You got some good pictures! and we had lots of fun- especially the kiddos! The ride home was little rough and TJ still woke up before 7 but we got him back to sleep for a little while anyways :)

The house looked great so definitely rest and relax the next 9 days!!

Sounds like you had fun. Sorry we couldn't be there...I feel bad since we were the only ones not there. But, we had a legitimate reason...already planned church events and the dreadful basement!

We'll get our chance to visit soon. Take care of yourself now, it won't be long before you won't have that chance again! :)

No worries Megan- we completely understand, especially with the last minute invite. Hope Family Fun Fest was great and the basement is getting fixed!

It looks like you have the coolest backyard in IL!!!!! And to already have the swing set will really be nice, especially for visitors until your little one is ready for it.
