Visitors, Baby News, Home Improvement Projects!

May proved to be one of the crazier, busier months of our lives, as we simultaneously hosted lots of loved ones and remodeled parts of our home. Ambitious, I know!

Oh, and on top of this . . . I don't think I've mentioned on this blog yet that we're expecting our 4th baby! That's right . . . another little girl is due to arrive September 20th.
We had so much fun with Lance (Luke's brother), Teisa, their daughters, Emie and Bayla, and Luke's sister, Lara:
Lance, Luke, Emie, and Katie--near the Gateway Arch

Bayla, Emie, and Katie at the zoo (Emie and Katie were born only 2 weeks apart!)

Emie, Katie, Lara, and Teisa at the zoo

Emie, Katie, Lara, and Alex at the Mississippi River near the Arch (Don't do it, Alex! Don't jump in!!)

Luke and Carrie in the construction zone

cute, cute cousins  :)

Luke salvaging the Mother's Day feast!

Carrie, Alex, and Lara on the tram at Grant's Farm

Adults' dinner out at Favazza's on The Hill (yum!)

Alex and Emie at the park

silly princess cousins

Lance and Emie joined us at Abby's first-grade play, "Arf!", where she was an adorable dalmation.

Even Lara got roped into helping her brothers with the destruction. (We'll post "before" and "after" pictures when we finally get to the "after" stage! We're still plugging away . . . )
I can't believe how much we packed into just a few days. It was awesome to see everyone!!

Congrats on baby #4!

(Every time I saw your niece's name, I read it as Ernie! My eyes kept separating that m into rn.)

Looks SO fun!! I wish we could visit again. But that's probably the last thing you need right now, is Boo helping out with the remodeling job!
