My brother and sister-in-law are pregnant with TWINS!
A HUGE (cause that's what said sister-in-law is gonna be) congratulations to both of them! It's been a long journey, and we couldn't be more thrilled at the happy outcome. Woo hoo!!!
These two babies will be A & R's first and only cousins. I don't think A & R fully realize what a big deal this is, but I know they will be over the moon once they grasp it all. WE CAN'T WAIT!
And one just has to look at the photos below to see how much their niece and nephew adore them, and therefore to appreciate what wonderful parents C & E are going to be.
In conjunction with all their news, these parents-to-be were kind enough to host a family reunion of sorts in Cleveland, the first stop on our USA 2015 Tour (which began two weeks ago). We were utterly spoiled with all the amazing meals they cooked, the pony rides, and the binge board-gaming. Hit game of the week? "Exploding Kitty." A new game out of kickstarter, just in production. What's not to like to about farts, stinky litter boxes and funny-named cats? THANK YOU C & E!!!
And a big thanks and hugs to E's parents for inviting us to stay in their lovely home.
Okay, shall we just start here? With the guests of honor? Because this just makes my heart skip a beat. (P.S. Did I mention I have a new title? Aunt Heather!)
Giddy parents-to-be:
What a lovely setting to hang out for a few days! The horse stables were just across the field from the house.
See the stables?!!!?
Reese learned Rummikub this trip. Takes me back to my childhood.
We didn't limit ourselves to board games. No, no. Lawn games (and simply the lawn) made a strong and popular appearance.
Little girls at Abby's French school sport these GAP zippered sweatshirts, and Abby has begged for one all year long. Who knew GAP was such statement among the leaders of haute couture? Abby doesn't even know what GAP is! Who cares, though, when Nana delivered with the best surprise gift ever?!!?
E and I are so happy you could visit and share in our celebration of the twins; it meant the world to us having you here. While it had been a bit long since we last saw each other, it felt like we simply picked up from where we left off.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for celebrating with us and making the week so special.
Much love to you, D and the newly minted cousins.
