THE PACKER 6

Family Time

My entire family came to visit the first weekend of May. We had planned a weekend full of swimming and boating since the weather the week before was almost 100 degrees. But, it ended up raining all weekend. So, visions of sunny boating trips were traded in for rock band and lots of game playing.

The weekend started with dinner at my house followed by a little playtime and hot tubing for the kids. (Yes, that's Dawson as Darth Vader and no, it's not Halloween)

My older brother, Jeff, has become quite the photographer. Although, it felt like the paparazzi was following us all weekend. Every time I went to take a bite - there's Jeff snapping a shot. He did get some great shots though - I love this one of my mom and my younger brother, Joe.

Here's a great one of Holden

Baby Toes - so sweet (Holden and Sydney)




Mom and Did did spend a small fortune heating up the pool so we could enjoy a pool party in bad weather.

We enjoyed lots of game playing and especially loved Settlers of Catan - everyone was mad I kept winning - sore losers!

And we had lots of fun with Rock Band

The kids had some fun with the Wii too.

With four people in the family still in school, there was a lot of time spent on the computers. There were papers written, tests taken and lots of studying. Many times there were four laptops running in one room. (My brother, Joe, is getting his masters and his wife, Lisa, is in nursing school. My sister, Jesi, and her husband, Will, are both in college completing degrees.)

Heather and her Dr. Pepper addiction also visited. Jason welcomed the addition to Dr. Pepper in the pantry.

Jeff and Sydney
Sydney was born as a preemie, at 32 weeks so this was the first time she was able to travel. She is so healthy now - so great to meet her!
