Volleyball and Birthday/Baby parties

We had another busy weekend like every other weekend we have these days. On Friday night, Nina had her volleyball doubleheader. They won all 6 games and have really improved thru this season. Kudos to her coaches Gary and Janet who have just done a wonderful job with the girls this season.

Saturday was fun as Nina and I stopped by our friends Dan & Theresa's place to meet their new little girl Maddy. She is just adorable. Another little cyclone to add to our ever growing list of babies that have been born in the last few years. Later that day, the whole family headed over to Joe and Marie's to celebrate their son Kyle's first birthday. It was a great time to reconnect with my old neighborhood friends. Nina had a blast playing with Jordon who she hadn't seen in months. We had fun chatting with Ellie, Joe & Marie, Andy & Karen, John & Judy!!

Sunday Julia and I went to my friend Lisa's baby shower. She is due next month and is having a girl. Yet another little cyclone that is almost here. :) Julia seemed to be the life of the party. She was the only baby there and was all smiles and laughs for everyone. Straight from the baby shower, we headed to Nina's volleyball games. Yes, more volleyball. The team didn't quite play at the same level as they did on Friday and only won 1 out of 6 games they played. But to their credit, they played a competitive team that was switching, trying to bump,set,spike already. Our girls really did play with them but just couldn't pull out the win.

Also Sunday was my mom's birthday. Happy Birthday MOM!! She is young 58 yrs now. :)

Gearing up for another busy week for the Friedman's. Mark left for Chicago today, leaving us three girls for the evening. But with the school skating party, vball practice, that leaves us little time to have a girls night. I can't wait for Wed. night when I'll be out with my girls to celebrate Cindy and Coleen's bdays. Thurs evening Sally will be here so Nina is excited for that!! Friday night will be Nina's last volleyball games for the season. So it's another crazy time for us this week......
