Labor Day Weekend


















Sorry for the late update this week. I lost my camera at one of the three family gatherings we were at last weekend and it took me all week to track it down and get it back. So, here are pictures from Labor Day weekend. Saturday we watched the football game at home (see bottom picture). Then, Saturday night, we went to Bob and Ann Fiedler's house (they are Ellen's brother and sister-in-law). Their kids Doug and Jen each have a set of twins, that were born less than a year ago. Doug and Jessi have a boy and girl who are 9 months old. Jen and her husband have 3 month old boys. So, as you can imagine, with our 3 included, it was a huge baby frenzy (middle picture). There were almost as many babies as adults.

Sunday, we had another Fiedler gathering, this time at Dale and Ellen's house. For those of you who don't know, Ellen has 8 brothers and sisters. It's a huge family. Only half of them came, and there were still 40+ people in her house. But, a lot of family who hasn't ever met the triplets got to see them, and again, there were plenty of people to hold them (top picture is of Brian's cousin Jillian who is 12 or so holding Xander and letting him play in the water fountain in the garden). We ate, drank a lot (Fiedler's are known for that) and took some family pictures. Lisa snapped this one of Brian and Will that turned out very cute. We spent Monday trying to recouperate from Saturday and Sunday, but ended up going to Kara and Wes's new house for a BBQ with the Hoefs clan. I think we'll lay low this coming weekend! I'll update again after Monday afternoon. We go to for another follow-up visit to the NICU on Monday afternoon, so I'll post what that doctor had to say.
