It's been a long weekend. Nina's mom showed up for a visit last Wednesday and is here until this Wednesday. My parents, sister, brother in law, and niece all showed up on Friday and left yesterday.

Apparently, I deal with the stress of entertaining so many guests at once by buying stuff. I bought the miter saw, two DVDs (Seconds and Lost in Translation), a new bird identification book, and a large heath bar blizzard from Dairy Queen. Yum.

Amber is a cute baby. Usually, I think think babies look like aliens. But she manages to be cute. And she didn't really cry at all - very even tempered. That's a plus. I put a picture of her here.
