5 on Friday

1. We had a busy weekend with a Fisher Price House Party play-date Saturday morning, baby shower Saturday afternoon and visitation for my Uncle on Sunday afternoon.  

2.  My Uncle's funeral was on Monday here in West Des Moines, with the burial in West Bend, Iowa.   My brothers, sister and I made the trip to West Bend in one car, leaving the spouses at home to take care of the kiddos.  While it was a sad occasion, it was really nice to be able to spend  time with just the four of us--- I do not remember the last time that happened.

3. Genevieve came down with a slight fever Monday afternoon.   She was fine, but it was high enough that Nick had to pick her up from day-care early.   She stayed home from day-care on Tuesday.  I think she just wanted to spend time with Daddy on her "six-month Birthday."

4. Yup, we have a 6-month old!   I cannot believe how fast the past 6 months have gone, Genevieve has grown up so much!   She is at such a fun stage.  Old enough to smile, giggle and interact, but young enough that she still gives cuddles and can be held in my arms.  LOVE that little girl!

5.  Ellie's response to my Uncle passing and seeing my Aunt, "I will give her a hug...  I will give her two hugs.  Then she will be happy."   If only it were that easy.  Although, hugs from a 2.5 year old do help.
