Surprise, Surprise

Apparently when your almost thirty year old, pregnant sister sees you sitting across a room in Texas when you're normally in NC, it can scare and confuse more than excite her. Oops. Still, her reaction made us laugh and once she realized nothing was wrong, she was pretty excited. Or pretty good at faking said excitement.  ;)

And now her birthday surprise is over and we are once again separated by many a mile, but I enjoyed my few short days in Texas!! (Thank you, Dad!!)

Birthday Dinner!!

My beautiful niece who finally decided I'm not the most terrible person in the world and let me hold her.....if her mom was out of eyesight. :)

 

And my awesome nephew who is obsessed with all things superhero and who now has a slight obsession with Temple Run 2, which may or may not be completely and totally my fault.

Apparently even Batman needs a good nap every once in awhile.

 

And perhaps the biggest surprise of all? By my return, this guy had decided he was tired of peeing and pooping in his underwear. That's right, folks, (KNOCK ON WOOD), after 8 years and a few months, the Fischer family may finally be out of diapers.

Way to go, Owen!! 

We are so so proud of you!!

Oh and I don't want to scare anybody, but my alter ego did come out in TX.

It can't be helped. Sometimes I just have to transform and try to save the world from the decepticons. I'm sure you understand.

Thanks to the Livingston Fam for having me even though I totally invited myself.

Thanks to Grandma for coming and helping Todd with our three hooligans so I could go spend time with my sister's family. You rock and I hope you're feeling better and better each day.

And even though I pretty much detest this hallmark holiday, Happy Valentine's Day to all the loves of my life!

Especially to my crazy valentine of the past we don't need to say how many years......
