Memorial Day Weekend!

We have had such an enjoyable and relaxing weekend! On Saturday, we drove up to Bothell to see baby Emilie~ Dave hadn't met her yet and the girls were wanting to hold her (they had been to nervous at the hospital to do it there). My mom, Katie and Tim ended up coming over as well so we ended up having a great visit and a fun barbecue together! The girls ended up hanging out with my mom for awhile so that Dave and I could go and check out a few different furniture places. We are on the hunt for bar stools, a nook table, a dining room table and a desk. We didn't find anything that stood out so we are still on the look out. It is so exciting to actually be at this stage- I never thought this time would arrive :)

Uncle David meets Emilie!

Taylor holds Emilie for the first time! (Maddie is still not so sure about all this!)

While at Nana and Paul's house Taylor found a caterpillar. She named him Belle!

Sunday we spent the day at the house catching up on laundry (it is never ending!!) and cleaning up all the dust from the work our trim guys have been doing this past week. Taylor has been fighting a cough, running nose and fever so we ended up watching 101 Dalmations and eating popcorn in the middle of the day!

I forgot to mention that we went to IKEA on our way up to see my sister- Taylor played in the play area but Maddie came with us while we were shopping- she found these "princess castles" and thought she and her sister needed one! Dave and I thought that we would hang them in the new house but the girls thought they needed to be hung in both the old and the new house :)Needless to say, they LOVE them!!

Monday morning Dave worked at the house and Taylor and I started working on her "fancy" bowls for her Fancy Nancy birthday party that she is having this coming weekend. Afterwards the family headed into town and we went to the Macy's furniture warehouse where we ended up purchasing a new dining room table set with a buffet table as well! It was one of those things where we walked in, looked at and fell in love with it! So, we can now cross that off of our things to buy.

I hope everyone is having a great start to their week! ~HM
