How Cool People Spend Their Saturdays

We were going to have a garage sale last weekend, but the weather was not very cooperative. So, instead, we gathered the local branch of the Chaput family tree (sans Pappy...and Andrew showed up too late to make it into the photos) and had us a grand ole time in the living room. We brought out the tiny tent meant to protect little ones from the sun's harsh rays and Lilly talked Annie & Daddy into playing with her for a LONG time in the tent. Lilly & Annie were very entertaining playing Ring Around The Rosie in the 3' cube. After that we watched (and napped during) Zoolander.
Jen was there.The good news was that we had a fun day hanging around the house. The bad news was that we didn't make any $$$ at the garage sale, we have to take everything off the tables because we have a church event this coming Saturday that we'll need the tables for, and then we'll have to set up the sale again on another weekend (date TBD)...and until then our garage is STUFFED with a ton of garage sale items. Sheesh.

Ann's so pretty...Even Wolverine...ahem, Logan joined in on the fun!Yep, we are by far the most normal people I know.

I'm an aunt!

Here are our first photos of Gavin Patrick Chaput (from Shannon's cell phone--sorry they're so small!). He was born this morning at 6:13 a.m. He weighs 7 lbs., 3 oz. and is 20 inches long. I'm so excited to be an aunt! Congratulations Sam & Shan!

Come out, Gavin!

It's a little after 3 a.m., and I just got off the phone with Mom, Shannon & Sam. They're at the hospital, Shannon's been in labor for a LOOOOOOOONG time, and Gavin is still not born! Hopefully he'll be here within the next hour or so. I am not sleeping well because of the anticipation. I'm sure I'll regret this later on today, when I have staff meeting--I'm sure I'll be useless, but oh well, I've never been an aunt before! I wish I was in NC supprting them in person. I spoke with Shannon, and she's doing great, now that she has her epidural in. She was in a good mood, and it was nice to talk to her. I hope she has this baby soon! I guess that's all for now. I'll post again when Gavin is born!
