Auntie and Uncle

Nate and I are going to be an Aunt and Uncle in August! My sister Rachel and her husband Allen are expecting a baby boy in just a few short weeks. We are so excited to meet our nephew...we'll be vacationing/meeting baby in South Carolina the last two weeks in August.

Here's the most recent picture of the belly...he'll be here before we know it!

Our newest family members!

Nate and I have added two new members to our family...two kittens named Ernie and Oreo. We adopted them from the Humane Society about three weeks ago and they are keeping us very busy!

They are litter mates who were so playful and fun that we had to take them home. We love our new babies!

St. Paddy's Day in Bay City

Every year we have a tradition for St. Patrick's Day...green beer at Mulligan's in Bay City the Sunday of the St. Patrick's Day Parade. This year we all pulled our green apparell (beads, buttons, stickers, etc.) and headed out in the cold to wait in line for our table.

We arrived at Mulligan's at about 10am and waited the 2 hours outside to be the first ones in the bar. Once inside we all drank green beer (probably too much) and sang Irish tunes with the band!

Can't wait to celebrate again next year!
