Saturday game night

Saturday was a cause for celebration because our friend Leslie got to come back to the United States after almost a year and a half! She moved to Canada with her new husband and was applying for dual citizenship. It is a VERY lengthy process that does not allow you to travel back to the states until the paper work has gone through....so finally that happened and we had a party. Leslie was one of my three college apartment roommates. We all went to High school together as well, however all three of them were the grade ahead of me.

Leslie and Greg brought their "fur baby" Stewie (or Screwie as Claire called him). He is a 8 pound dachshund. He is totally in love with his mommy and followed her where ever she went. Even when I held him and Leslie walked to the other side of the room, he turned is body in my arms just to be able to see her. I want this dog. So cute.

Karen and Mike brough their baby Sloan. She is 7 months of big eyed cuteness. And she is having major separation anxiety. She slept a few places in our house that night...pack and play, our bed, and the chair. But after not staying asleep, it was clear that she would rather play games with us than sleep.

Ella and Claire had fun too and suprisingly didn't give us a hard time when we put them to bed at 8:45 (way past their bedtime which is probably why we didn't get a hard time from them).

It was so much fun to have all of us back together again in the same room. Now that Leslie can come back anytime, we will be having more of these get togethers again soon! :)
