First, we have a new nephew!!
This “little” fella weighed in at 9 pounds, 10 ounces! His parents and three older brothers are ecstatic about his arrival. Miss M and I got to snuggle with him for a little while this week.
Secondly, Miss M turned TWELVE last week! You may detect a hint of shock in my words here, but that’s only because there is NO WAY I am old enough to have a twelve-year-old!! But seriously, she is everything I could ever have hoped for in a tween-age daughter. She is bright, polite, responsible and super sweet. She has been helping me with the younger kids since she was four years old, and she rarely complains.
She is starting to help my sisters-in-law with their kiddos as well, which is great because she loves her little cousins.
I don’t think I would be homeschooling right now if it wasn’t for her. Not only is she an excellent student, she is a wonderful teacher’s assistant as well.
Happy Birthday, Miss M!And last, but not least, we had a family wedding last weekend. With a family as big as my husband’s is, there have been a lot of family weddings. But it has been four years since the last one and we were ready for a PARTY!!
The bride and groom were all smiles all evening.
Everyone looked so nice in their fancy clothes.
Big D was an excellent reader
Mr. H was ready to dance,
But he didn’t last long. He and Banana cut out early. 
The rest of us had a ball.
We did the Y.M.C.A.
The Sprinkler
“Shout” (a little bit softer now)
The Macarena
And I always get a special bonus at family weddings. My husband actually dances with me!!!
It was a great night. Congratulations Uncle Beaker and Aunt Mad-dog!!!
