Looking forward to the bugs...

This weekend is our annualy Lemoine family reunion. My dad's mom, his 7 siblings, and their kids and their kids. That's right, I have A LOT of family. 14 aunts & uncles. 12 first cousins & theirs spouses. 13 second cousins. Not including myself or the girls, or coco. This is the first year in a while that most of the will acutally be there. A few here & there will be missing, but most should be around. We missed last year b/c we moved into our new house that weekend. Worth missing for your own new real estate! I've got a little trepidation about an afternoon visitng with dozens of family members at one persons house. Mostly because there are a few members of the fam that shall remain nameless that have become troublemakers in their old age. There are, however, a few bright spots that will come out of it. You know those cousins or family members who always make you happy and feel warm & gooey inside because you just enjoy being around them? Not for any reason other than that they remind you of the greatest times in your childhood? I've got a bunch of those and i am sooooo excited about seeing them.

Plus, bebe will be making her Lemoine family debut. MOST of my family has yet to meet her. Ridiculous? Yes. Especially since my family considers itself close, but that's an entirely different post for a day when I'm ready to vent. Hahah...still love them all, despite the heaping shovel full-o-crazy that they all bring with them.

Anyhoo...the BEST part about this weekend will be the boiled crawfish and beer at mom & dad's house and watching them fawn over bebe for the entire weekend. Ever since she was born, they're putty in our hands. It's wonderful to see them so in love!







Can't wait for the weekend to start!
