Family-Filled Weekend!

It was certainly a family affair this past weekend which we always love! On Saturday we headed down to the Milwaukee area to visit with John's relatives who flew in from North Carolina, New York and Beijing! His cousin Corinne has been staying with his Aunt Jill and Uncle Duane in the Milwaukee area since she is an intern at Kohl's this summer. Since she is in Wisconsin (along with the rest of that side of the family), her parents, brother, sister and brother-in-law all decided to make the trek. It was wonderful to see all of them (and finally meet Andrea's husband, Michael!) since we don't see them often given the distance. It was also the first time that many of them met Kate so it was so fun to watch them with her. I simply can't get over the outpouring of love that she receives from everyone she comes in contact with. Prior to even leaving New York, Michael asked Andrea if he thought he would have an opportunity to hold Kate. That comment may get me in some trouble, but I thought it was the sweetest thing ever.

After taking a dip in the pool and feasting on all of the wonderful food (including a birthday cake for the July birthday clan: John's cousins Kathryn and Eric, his mom and myself), we headed to West Bend to spend the night at my parent's and hang out with my brother, his wife and Kate's cousins. Sunday was a pretty low-key day which consisted of reading books and getting much-needed naps in! All in all - a great weekend!
