Five Things Friday

Five Things That Happened This Past Week That Made Me Smile:

1. My sister in law, and my brother in law FINALLY had their baby early this morning!  Our nephew/cousin Matthew was born just about 3am this morning.  Hooray!!
2. I'm looking forward to everyone coming over this weekend for our family cookout.  My Mom's cousin is home visiting from Italy; my Grandmother is up visiting from Florida.  It should be a great time.
3. I thought we would have to wait until Monday, but we found out Samantha's Kindergarten teacher today, and also found out that there are 2 children from Sam's preschool class from last year that will also be in her K class.  We're so excited!
4. Jeremy and I have been having fun looking at homes online.  It's a good feeling to know that we can afford one now, and there are SO many options available to us.  It's so hard to be patient!
5. This coming weekend, Jeremy and I are photographing a maternity shoot and a family portrait shoot.  The weather is supposed to be really nice.  We're really looking forward to it!
