The Matneys with the Healds. Halle Kate had HAD IT and needed to be at home. I think we'll keep her home until she is older!
The girls with the guys
Aunt Connie got to feed Matney her second to last bottle. We got rid of them the next day, had one night of crying and Matney hasn't acted like she's missed them since. Now if I wasn't washing all Halle Kate's bottles I'd be so excited to have them gone!
Aunt Sassy and Aunt Connie went to Target and Baby Boo got some new jammies. The first night here they might have noticed that hers were getting a tad too small and that I hadn't gone to get more (bad Mama!). Matney slept in a sleep sack, not footie pjs, so I don't have any "leftovers". When Sassy found out we were pregnant again with Halle Kate, but before we knew she was a girl, she started calling her Baby Boo...as in SUPRISE, its a .... I think the name will stick with her for life. I was calling her Baby Boo by the end of their visit.
Uncle Wayne holding Halle Kate. She screamed at the rest of us for most of their visit but she didn't scream at him. Maybe I should pay him to come back!
Ant Sassy got Halle Kate to sleep after an hour of screaming one afternoon. Halle really has a hard time with noise and light. She's best in a dark room so all the coming and going people and noise kept her pretty over the edge for their visit. After an hour of rocking and jiggleing while Sassy kept her head covered by a blanket she finally fell asleep.
Poor Aunt Connie. Matney took to her as soon as she walked in the door and had her playing all weekend. This is Matney in Halle's bouncy seat making Connie cover her in puppy dogs and balls. The two of them had a blast together but I am betting that Auntie Connie slept really, really well when she got home! I also think this is when Aunt Connie taught Matney the word "cool" which she has really enjoyed saying ALL THE TIME. And not cool referring to temperature but awesome, neat, exciting. Thank you, Connie!
While the ladies played with the kiddos here are the guys. Jared was out smoking chicken, Uncle Wayne was checking the stock market and Jared's dad was in his usual place sleeping on our sofa. We don't know what it is about our couch that puts him right to sleep but it happens every time he's here.
They brought Miss M a bubble blower and she LOVED IT! Look at that face!
This is the night they flew in. Had I really taken pictures of all that we did while they were here most of them would look like this...we are eating. We ate and ate and ate...enough that when they left Monday Jared had gained back some of the weight he'd lost since Halle was born and I started Weight Watchers. It was some good food while it lasted though!
We love you, Matneys. Thank you for all you did for us while you were here...especially the laundry fairy that I think looked a lot like Aunt Connie! We love you and hope you come back soon!!
