A Rice kind of weekend

This weekend Peter, Betsy  Sam, Marina and baby Rice #3 on the way came to visit. It is always a treat to see them and with increased space we can now host them here. We had a great time. Friday night we celebrated Betsy's birthday with cheesecake We also stayed up way to late as Sam and Marina ran around the house after being in a car for 5+ hours. They found Chris' Lego's and had a great time playing with them all weekend.  

Saturday we ventured out to one of the spring kid's consignment sales at a local church. Betsy and I were both in search of cheap maternity clothes and maybe a good deal on things for baby Rice and Johnson. We found some great maternity clothes and laughs at some of the options. Oh the joy of wearing clothes that look like a box! After lunch and some relaxing we went to the park in hopes of getting some fresh air and running out some of our energy and freezing a little. Somewhere between trip one and two the temperature dropped. Even with the less than warm temps we had a great time and all used up some energy just in time for nap-time.  Our evening was spent talking with the rest of the family on Skype, playing Bananagrams and eating dinner.

Sunday morning we ate breakfast and the DC Rices started their long trek back home. We enjoyed having them here and can't wait to see them again soon... hopefully before Peanut and Baby Rice #3 arrive.

We all had cameras out and no pictures were taken...its a problem. So below week 22 picture courtesy of one of my coworkers.
