Surprise!! :)

Happy President's Day everyone :) Hope you had a wonderful Monday!
Today was the day that my Dad came down to visit, so Ian took the day off and we both planned to have a great day with the three of us! But he brought an awesome surprise with him.... my sister!!! I was just finishing getting ready upstairs when I heard someone coming up the stairway - I thought it was my Dad, but then I was SOO surprised to see that it was Mary!! I screamed, of course! And gave her lots of hugs! It was just such an awesome surprise - so thanks Dad and Mary!!! :)

Once they were here - we had some baby errands to do and then went out to lunch at Chili's - yum!! We stopped by Best Buy and Dad bought web cams for the Bally household and his house - so that now when the babe is born we can visit even though we're halfway across the state! I've already hooked mine up a bit - but it's hard to figure everything out!! Anyhow, awesome gift - thanks, Dad! Cletus already told me he's looking forward to little chats with his Grandpa :) Dad, Mary, Ian and I then went to Baby Depot (in Burlington Coat Factory) to look at baby supplies - I really need to start picking some things out, but it's still a tad overwhelming. It was great to have Mary there helping us - always nice to have a second opinion. And I think we may actually have a stroller picked out :) Then at Chili's, all was good :) Great company and good food!

I LOVED loved loved spending the day with family - we played cards and laughed and it was just fun :) Ian and I had a great time with everyone and it was so nice to have our home filled with some family!!! Mary and Dad, thanks for coming down - and thanks for the great surprise!!!!

Love you all
Laura

I agree...a very fun day! The blog is great but seeing Laura in person was a treat! (She's really pregnant!)

And, of course, we can't forget to mention that the Hearts Champion of the day is Ian. He really suckered me in with his "oh gee, I don't play very much, how does this game work" routine. So I throw a few extra points on Laura and Mary instead of Ian and he kicks our butt!

Revenge will be mine....

Love, Dad
