A Busy Weekend

This weekend was pretty busy. On the way to Vin's party we got stuck in traffic for an hour and a half, and practically missed the whole party :( But at least we made it. Sunday we went over to visit Richard's grandparents, great uncles, and great grandmother. They were all in town for Richard's cousins wedding. We didn't go because knowing our luck when the preist would ask if anyone had any objections to the wedding, Emma would probably start screaming, lol! Richard's uncles wife, Larisa, has finally moved here from Russia. She was so anxious to hold Emma. Larisa was very sweet and is very pretty. She is still having a hard time adjusting to the time difference, and getting use to air conditioning being IN the house because in Russia it's mostly cold, so they dont need A/C. Here are some pics from the weekend.

Here is Jess and the birthday boy with my dad and Laura in the background.

Jackie's baby shower was tons of fun with great food and games. Poor Richard, it was a girls only baby shower, but he had to come because we were leaving straight from the party to Vin's party. This is Tammy, Ronnie's mom who is practically my second mom, holding Emma.
This is Jackie. It was my first time meeting her. She was very sweet. It was kind of fun to ask her how all she was feeling. The typical being tired from the restless sleep, feet always swollen, and just being ready for the baby to be here. Ronnie and Jackie are having a girl, deciding on the name Laila Alejandra Burruss. She is due in June.

Teri and Kam invited us over for some Hamburgers a few weeks ago, and we all sat out on the deck. Here is Emma and Vin swinging together! This is the cutest picture, and actually might be the first one of them together.

So this video was recorded a few weeks ago. Emma was just figuring out how to grasp onto things, especially mommy's hair! So I decided to put this rattle in her hand. You can see in the middle of video she knocks herself in the head!
