Weekend News

This past weekend was a full weekend jam packed with roofing, food, and pictures. Friday started off with silly faces at breakfast from Ellie and Owen :)
Funny Faces
We were supposed to go to Galena with my college roommate and her family, we had a change in plans once we learned we were going to have to replace the roof on our home before closing. Luckily it didn't cost us any money (just labor) and we are done with the mess of it. Ben Wilson came down Friday morning to help Jeremy before others got off work. The kids and I headed off to Cedar Rapids to run errands and stay out of the way. Friday afternoon I felt like I cooked non-stop for the guys. It made me feel like I was doing something :)

Saturday all the guys returned plus my parents and Brinley! Brinley's mommy is a nurse and was working so we were lucky to get to have another baby around for the day!
Brinley-she was so good!

Owen was pooped after all that hard work!
The morning was filled with more cooking, taking care of Brinley and keeping the kids busy. Ellie and Owen missed Brinley's brother, Emerick,  he was already scheduled to hang out with his grandparents. The 3 of them do play together so well! Here is an older pic of Owen and his buddy Emerick eating a snack at our place:

Relaxing after the roof was all done
Sunday we headed to Dubuque for family pictures with the McCaffery side. They went very smoothly and we were able to enjoy lunch at Catfish Charlie's afterwards!
We would not have been able to get the roof done without the help from our friends and family! Thank you Hosh, Shane, Josh, Wilson, and Dad! We greatly appreciate all your hard work this weekend! I tried to make up for it with food, and babysitting for one of the guys, but we definitely owe them big time!
