Surprise Visit!!

I had the loveliest surprise this past weekend - my mom, sister and nephew flew in to Tucson for the weekend to visit before the new baby arrives! Apparently most of the people around me had colluded together to pull it off, and they were totally successful! What should have given it away? Perhaps that my hubby declined to golf with his men's league at his favorite course, or that he spent that Saturday doing chores at home while I was out galavanting with Michael, or that a few people who had been trying to make plans with me for that same weekend mysteriously couldn't get their plans to work out...

Regardless, it was such an awesome surprise and it made me feel so special! It felt like a birthday weekend in February! Ask me to tell you the story of the Grandma Kleckner style baby shower sometime and you'll understand even more why it was a special visit for me. :O)))))))

We also got some great pictures while they were here. Rulon's almost 7 months old now, and he's getting to be such a big boy already. It's hard to believe Amy became a mom just last June. We got out Michael's baby bouncer for Rulon to use, and Michael promptly plopped himself into it and proceeded to play in it for a long time!




We finally got Rulon in it, and he seemed quite at home.






Lunchtime for the little guy!




Perhaps just as exciting as having my family out to visit was being able to pop the tandem seat on our new Super Stroller and load both boys in for a walk - I was so thrilled! I'm a little biased (Who me? No!) but I'm conviced I have the coolest stroller ever.






Finally, we got some great family pictures of Grandma, the two mommies and the two kiddos.








What a treat to have the three of them here, it was really a nice time.
