Weekend with the Merkle Clan

The weekend after Easter, Scott, Laura, Kristen and "Muncle" Bean came up from Nashville. We threw a big open house baby shower for Scott and Laura at Merkle's house. It was great having everyone all together again. We also got to see Grandmom Merkle, GG and Wonderful Ed, and part of the Dickson clan from Philly (Andy's aunt, uncle and cousins). It's always nice to get together with family and we're thankful to get to celebrate the upcoming birth of Scott and Laura's first baby.

Our kids with Grandmom Merkle


I'm sad to say, but this is the first time Grandmom got to meet Lizzie
On Sunday afternoon, the Merkle clan headed to the Phillies game! It was the Phanatic's birthday, so the kids got free t-shirts (even the unborn Merkle...no, not ours :-) Finally someone else in the family is pregnant!) Here are Jake and Jon getting free rides from Andy and Uncle Toe

Here we are, dressed in full Phillies attire.

And the whole gang...
In the front, "Muncle" Bean, Mommom, Kristen, Jake
In the back, Toe, Laura, Kimmy, "Muncle" Don, Jon, Andy, Lizzie, Me, and Popsy
We had a great time. Poor Laura took a bunch of smack from everyone for the location of our seats. Thanks, Laura, for finding the tickets for such a large group. We had a blast, despite the nosebleeds ;-) You did great!
Fun weekend, everyone!! Thanks!!!
