The 2nd weekend in June, our good friends Todd & Emily and their sweet almost 9 month old baby, Haley, came to stay for the weekend! We had not seen any of them since Haley was born in September, so we were really excited for them to come! We spent the weekend visiting, eating, playing with Haley and watching her wonderful schedule of food, play, naps, over and over again (Vic wished his day consisted of 12 hours of sleep at night and 2 naps each day!). We also played some Chicken Foot while listening to music from the 90's - gosh, we are really growing up!
Fortunately, Vic fell in love with Haley and he told me after they left that he was pretty sure Haley didn't want to leave him....oh my - so conceited. Here are some pictures from the weekend...
Todd, Haley & Emily
Also, Todd helped Vic put up a new light fixture since we are slowly wanting to get rid of the gold fixtures and replace them around the house. It was pretty funny because Vic and Todd went to Lowe's early in the day to pick one out and came back deciding that I needed to go with Vic to choose. Todd made some comments about this one fixture with wheat on it and was laughing (totally not Todd's taste and it did sound sort of funny). Well, what did Vic and I come back with after the 2nd trip to Lowe's? The wheat decorated fixture. But, that totally is our style and fits our décor, and we love it! Anyways, with Todd's help (and by help I mean he ended up doing most of the work since he was teaching Vic), it got put up and we love it. Makes our kitchen look even homier. This is my favorite picture of Todd working and teaching Vic while Vic stands back and just watches; it actually took 3 tries to get it up because they keep leaving one little part off. I think Todd was sick of light fixtures by then! But we were so thankful because now that we've been taught, we can do the others in the house ourselves!
And Vic had to put the "wheat heads" on - they were rubber wheat that attached at the very end!
Also, here is a picture of Vic playing with Haley - she really liked those peppers on the wall so Vic took her back to them constantly. And, he liked showing her the mirror! He is going to be a very fun daddy!
Also, Todd's dad lives in the Houston area so he came up for the day to see them while they were here. And, of course he had to see his baby granddaughter! I thought this was a sweet picture....
And, I can never leave out a good picture of food - this is what we ate on Saturday night - tuna, tilapia, salmon, asparagus, rice, YUM!
It was a great weekend and we were sad to see them leave...just another family we wished we lived closer too!
