A Welch Family Affair: Pictures Here! Get Your Pictures!

This weekend hasn't been too incredibly eventful. We went down to Dave's mom's house yesterday to celebrate her birthday early. I overcame my fear of Ellie sleeping in places other than our house, and she did pretty well! She went down fairly easy, and slept for about an hour. Not too bad! Dave is working days now, so he was at work all day, and I got taste of what my whole summer will be like....lovely! I am sooooo excited! I can't wait to spend everyday with my girl!

In other news, I am on the verge of killing my neighbors upstairs. On the outside, they appear to be this nice, friendly, older couple. In reality, they are evil, evil people. Okay, I'm exaggerating, but they are a pain in the you know what! We've had issues for a long time with them making so much noise-stomping around at all hours of the day (and night!), playing loud music, letting their grandson run laps on their hardwood floors. It's awful. They even decided it was okay to vacuum at 11:45 at night. WTF? It's so loud at times that it keeps me up and it's woken Ellie up, which makes for one angry mama. I've written them a very polite letter asking them to considerate: huge failure. Dave talked to them face to face last weekend: another failure. I got in contact with the HOA manager, who issued a noise violation: another whopping failure. I have no idea what to do! I am so frustrated! They are pounding across the floor as we speak. I swear if they wake my sleeping baby, I am going to go postal. I am SO over condo living. Ugh.

Ok, now for what everyone wants. PICTURES! And lots of them!

Look at those blue eyes!
