Such a fun weekend! So much to do, so little time! Lots and lots of quality fam time this weekend. I got to finally meet my cousin Clint's girlfriend Amy who is awesome! Got to see Grandpa which ALWAYS makes my day! Saturday was our monthly Girls Lunch. Here are a couple of pics from that day, shamelessly stolen from the family blog:
This was at Trailhead in St. Charles. From left is me, my cousin Clint, Clint's girlfriend Amy, Clint's daughter Kira, Aunt Cheryl, Aunt Mary and my cousin Rachel.
Amy and I...MySpace buddies and now real life buddies!Saturday night I attended the crisis line employee appreciation dinner. Here's a couple pix from that:

me and my old friend Rob...known him since I started at the crisis line 8 years ago...he recently left so he could be home more w/his family...I miss him tons! The place isn't the same w/out him!Yesterday I had a nice brunch with Sue and Renee at Sue's cute new condo. I did have a bit of an issue with Sue's three cats...I was sneezing 7, 8, 9 times in a row, was wheezing at one point and was overall kinda miserable....I then went on to my Aunt Mary's house, who also has a cat....Amy was nice enough to hook me up with a Claritin, life got somewhat better after that. Despite my allergy issues, the BBQ at the Batto's yesterday was some good times. After some trash talking with Rachel the day before, an UNO tournament was started early. Amy, Rachel and I (and sometimes Kira and Aunt Mary) played all afternoon. The wins were pretty much split down the middle. It is safe to say that Rachel's UNO reign of terror is over. No more total world domination. Sorry kiddo. :) Below are some pics from the day and I have to tell you now, most of them were taken by Kira who is apparently a budding photographer. At only 5 years old, her pics are not bad. What is hilarious is that unbeknownst to me, she was going around the house and making everyone pose with a princess crown on their heads (as you will see). Nothing says 'fine family fun' like seeing your 80 year old grandfather with a princess crown on his head....

.....know when to fold 'em
The UNO crew: me, Sophia the dog, Amy, Kira and Rachel
