At the begging of July, Chris and I became an uncle and aunt for the 8th time. Greta is baby #4 for Katie and Justin. Welcome sweet girl!

Karissa and David's Wedding

July 16, 2010 was a gorgeous day. We all had a fabulous time and everything turned out great. My little sister is a married woman!

Bachelorette Party

This past weekend we celebrated my sister, Karissa's, bachelorette party. The picture directly above is a game we made her play where all the guests had to bring a pair of underwear that best represented themselves and she had to guess who brought which pair. Sadly, I represented myself by a toddlers, princess themed, pull-up diaper.

The party was a lot of fun but I still have a hard time believing my little sister is getting married! I really felt my age the next day when I basically had to take several naps to make up for rolling in around 2am. How embarrassing. Oh well, onto the main event....only a few more weeks till the wedding!!!

7 months

Bridal Shower

Welcome Liliana Grace

On Memorial Day weekend we were also able to visit with our good friends Matt and Kristy and their new addition Liliana Grace. This adorable little peanut weighed only 5lbs. 11oz. when she was born and we were able to get to meet her only a few days later. So sweet. Congratulations Matt and Kristy!

Memorial Day Weekend

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Chicago with Chris' family. We were able to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma Petersen, Aunt Karen and Uncle Bill and Chris's cousin, Meredeth, who lives in Colorado. On Sunday we spent the day at Opa and Grandma Borchert's farm and took in the Elmhurst parade on Monday. It was a packed weekend but really so much fun. Now we just need a vacation to recoup from our weekend away!
