Meeting Lydia Leigh Fish

I'm going to blog a bit out of order here, so bear with me. This blog is about going to meet my new niece, Lydia. I have not blogged yet about my girlfriends weekend, but still plan to. I just need to pull out a few older photos to include, so it'll take just a bit more time.

So after basktball games today, we traveled down to Leiper's Fork to visit Cassie and her family. We arrived around 2:30 and stayed until about 7:30. Cassie looked great (although she did add a tad of make up for us!) and little (and I mean little) Lydia is just darling. The big kids all play so well together that it really gave the adults a nice visiting time.

I brought a double pot of chili and the fixings and Mom, Dad and Papa came over for dinner. Between the 7 adults and 8 kids, we basically wiped out the entire amount of chili. Yummy! It was a nice visit and so wonderful to spend a little time with them.

And of course here are some pictures of our time there:

Christian couldn't wait to hold Lydia

Rebecca has the sniffles so Daddy told her she couldn't hold the baby. Aunt Cassie came to the rescue with a mask!

Papa loves the little babies... this is his 13th ??? Great-granchild

She's so tiny

Silly girls

Leah wanted to be in the picture too

Now Rebecca has to be in with the girls

And of course, Anna Blair, too - what a cute group of girls

What a goofy group of kids - they're singing the Who's song from the Grinch

Leah is taking gymnastics and wanted me to take this video of her. What a great cartwheel she is learning to do
