For those of you that don't already know, I have a BIG family. My immediate family is average in size, however, my extended family is a bit larger. I'm 1 of about 30 grand kids and many of my cousins have had or are having children. So it goes without saying that it's almost IMPOSSIBLE for us to make our rounds when we visit. (We try very hard though)
During this visit, Helaina was able to experience a few firsts. My Aunt Sheila and Uncle Kevin have quite the play yard for children of all ages (and the adults too). Helaina went swimming for the first time in their pool on Friday. It was quite an event. I think it took more time to get her "dressed" (swim diaper, bathing suit, sunscreen, hat, blowing up her floatie) than she was actually in the pool. It was worth it though...She loves the water and is our little fish.
The canopy on her floatie was nice. She was able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the water with a little shade from the sun.

My dad's brother, Uncle Pat turns 50 tomorrow, July 1st. His birthday is just 1 day before mine and also happens to be my Godfather. His family threw him a surprise birthday party on Friday evening, and I am so glad I was able to attend. HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY UNCLE PAT!!!

I'm disappointed that I don't have any pictures to post, but Helaina met my good friends Erin and Jon this weekend. They are expecting a baby in November. Erin's baby bump is ohhh so cute, and Helaina just loved spending time with them. Jon had a crash course in infant care. He helped change her diaper and wiped the spit up she had while he was holding her. I'm fairly certain they are going to be GREAT PARENTS!
