New Baby, Newsboys, and Nails

What a packed full weekend!  It all began Thursday eve. when my step-sister and her husband came into town with their new baby ~ Claire Louise.  (I'll say she was named after me, but there are some other women in Lauren's life that share the name!)  


Pop and Baby Claire.  Can't you see the pride oozing out of him?!? 
Little Lion seems to think they resemble each other ~ "they both have no hair!"

Friday night:  NEWSBOYS!!!  Need I say more?  While we were "dating" Daddy Lion and I were able to attend two different NEWSBOYS concerts, so this was a little stroll down memory lane . . . We realized we are much older than we were!  But we still enjoyed ourselves.


Our friends tagged along too!  Mr. C is a BIG fan ~ NEWSBOYS are his "fav!"


Later we found out that that might have been Peter Furler last night in concert!  SO glad we went now!


And of course who doesn't enjoy the drum off!  Duncan is just amazingly gifted.  Enjoy the clip!





Saturday was more of Baby Claire and a fun couples night with my MOPS table.  Nothing like a good game of "Battle of the Sexes" to give everyone a good laugh.  We tied by the way.

Sunday we headed over to my mom's again for lunch and just family time.  Little Pumpkin has become obsessed with her nails . . . Lolly's favorite pastime.  I don't think Lolly emptied her hands completely when she walked in the door before Little Pumpkin had her in the bathroom picking out polish.  This pic is blurry, but I loved it!


I'll leave you with some of my favorite pics from our family photo shoot on Sunday.  (I didn't get one of the whole group . . . hint hint . . . POP!) 

 Tia & Little Pumpkin

I think even Baby Claire was tired of pics!  Check out the yawn.
(I forgot to brag. . . my mom made the beautiful dresses for the girls!)

The proud parents!

And my favorite:
too precious for words!

  1. Baby Claire is such a cutie. Your title had me a bit concerned...:)

    I so wish we had some more concerts closer. Glad you two could get out for the evening.

    And that last picture is just precious...love the colors and dresses!

  2. I too agree with Cheryl, that picture of the two kissing baby is just precious. Your mom did a lovely job on the dresses. Glad you got to see Peter Furler, sounds like DC Talk Michael Tait is going to take over. That should be a fun concert. Wish I could have fun with you!

  3. The dresses are adorable but I don't see any layout of your little pumpkin. Sounds like you have had a full few days.

  4. That last picture is darling. What a gifted seamstress! Dan and I went to a Casting Crowns concert in Anchorage last fall and decided we were too old to appreciate the volume at rock concerts ... even awesome spiritual ones. Are we lame or what?! I went home after that and took a Tylenol PM to get to sleep! :) Glad you guys got to go down memory lane together. Dating your spouse is so important! Not to mention, FUN.
