Family Breakfast

To revist the end of the last post, the day after Katie's going away party at The Rellik we got up early to go to breakfast with my Dad's brother and his lovely bride (almost 20 years of marriage!!!). We went to our favorite breakfast spot in town, First Street Cafe who have the best waffles, scramblers and scones ever! Every time we go Aaron and I share our breakfast, he orders the special and I order a waffle, it's the perfect combo (of course with a scone!).
After breakfast we went down to the water to take some pictures, and like I said before, there is nothing like the back drop of water for great family photos. Enjoy these!

Family, Fun and Bitter Sweet Goodbye's.

What a whirwind of a weekend we have had.
Friday night we were over at the Taylor's for dinner and Rummicube, which is quickly becoming our go to game. Little Emma was so bubbly and was loving bouncing up and down in our arms. Her chubby little legs are getting so strong I think she will be crawling in no time. She is such a delight, happy and never a tear! ANNDDD she goes right to sleep when they lay her down! WHATT!!!
Saturday Aaron and I lazed a little in the morning watching a gret thunderstorm blow threw, with lightning and all. That's probably one of my favorite things to do. After that I ran up costco and target to get prepartions for Katie's going away party that we had at The Rellik Tavern in town. We had such a nice turn out. Pretty much everyone was able to come including our family from So. Cal. I think Katie was really pleased.
After the party we went home and had some hamburgers and hotdogs with the fam and a couple of Katie's best friends. I think the ending to the night was bitter sweet for her, saying goodbye to her friends for a year. It sounds like everyone wants to use her as an excuse though to get across the "pond"! So that will be nice for her to think about and await their/our arrival.
Today is Sunday and we had breakfast with our Aunt, Uncle and Dad. It was so nice to eat an intimate meal with them. We took some great pictures on the waterfront before we all said goodbye. There is nothing like having the water as your back drop.
We are off to frisbee in an hour or so and then I hear rummors of another barbque tonight!
