Girl's Weekend in Wisconsin

Sydney and I flew up to Wisconsin the last week of March for our "Girl's Weekend, plus Brendan" to meet new Baby Brynna. We had such a good time. She was sooooooooo excited that it was a trip for "just us girls" and she talked about the "girls weekend" for weeks and weeks. At one point we almost had to bring John (Rich was in the middle of a massive project and had to work the entire weekend) and whilst she tried to hide it, she was disappointed that he was going to have to come. Funny thing, though, she never caught on to the fact that Uncle Brendan, a boy, was there the whole time!

Sydney LOVED her cousin Brynna. She held her lots and loved to explore all her little baby features. She sat with her on her lap at one point and kept playing with her hand and saying "her fingers are so tiny". Brynna like Sydney was well and would follow her around and smile at her.

I think this below picture was the only happy moment of bathtime - cuddling with me in my sweater. One of the things Sydney really wanted to do was help give Brynna a bath, so we decided to put them in the tub together. Brynna wasn't having a bar of that, which freaked Sydney out. I don't know if either of them got clean!

Cousin cuddles.
All the girls. Unfortunately the only picture with the 5 "big" girls smiling has Brynna yawning, but she still looks cute! I think I missed the memo of "where a white shirt" - and you can see here that I definitely missed out on the tall gene in the family! The six of us had a lot of fun together - Brynna's baby shower will all our Racine friends, yummy Wells Bros pizza, and charity even some friend's held, cleaning out Mom's fridge (ok, maybe I was the one who had fun doing that) and lots of laughs over stupid things.

Yes, it is the Auntie's obligation to do stupid stuff to the baby for the camera - get used to it, kid!
