big legs, charlie weis and a 60th bday

this week my mom turned 60. to celebrate my sister & sisters-inlaw took her out for a surprise spa morning then to a surprise lunch with her girl friends...and then finally to a surprise dinner at home with her brother, the guys & the grandkids. here's a few highlights of our day.

no my legs are not this big!

this is what happens when 2 sisters wear
the same pair of pants and sit together on a couch

can you believe one of his students gave him this t-shirt?

why are vintage little people so much more fun than new ones?

josie update:
poor josie - just gets tagged on at the end of the pictures! well, we didn't make it to see josie today due to all the birthday celebrations. yesterday i spent the afternoon with her and then my parents hung out with her in the evening.

all the blood work & x-rays came back showing NO infection in her digestive tract. they kept her off food for at least 24 hours. she started back up on milk yesterday afternoon and is doing fine. they are slowing increasing the amount back up to what she was at prior to her tummy getting all crazy.

the nurse said that the past 2 days she's showed a little bit of personality. she has a little blanket that's silky on one side and soft on the other. when the silky side is touching her body, she is happy as a lark. when the soft side is touching her body, she kicks the blanket off every time. a picky little girl? yup, she's definitely related to olivia :)

tomorrow (sunday) my parents are taking the kids for most of the day, so we are going to head to the hospital and have some quality time with josie. it's hard to believe she's 3 wks old. the days have gone really fast, but at the same time the whirlwind of her delivery seems forever ago. we feel so blessed that she's doing so well. all the scary "what ifs" that could have developed with her have never materialized, and for that we are so happy. the threat of setbacks is still real, but here's hoping for more calm weeks ahead :)

i'll try and post some more pictures of her soon. our camera is going in for repairs on monday (gotta love the timing!) so once i get my hands on a temporary camera i'll snap some picture some picture of her.
