This weekend I was lucky enough to put aside Motherhood for a few hours and spend that time with my mom and Sisters-in-law at a shower for the newest member of our family, Anne. We decided it would be more fun to have a lunch then to sit around and do stupid party games. So we all met at Mimi's for a yummy lunch.
Here are the Olsen Women (well I was an Olsen once) .Kristi, Me, Ashlee, RuthAnn, Jenny, Tammy, Anne and Mom.
I don't think we have ever had all the women together in a picture without children.
Speaking of children...
We were also pleased to have Maddie and Eleanor join us for lunch as well. (oh and Jamie)
The girls really added a spark to the shower. We love them.
Kristi and Jenny ready to order. 
Kristi, Jenny & RuthAnn Ready to order. Don't they look Great.
They are part of the "Get Skinny Mommy" weight loss program. Way to go Girls!!
Ellie eating noodles....see spark.
Maddie and her noodles. The best part is Jamie smiling at her.
After eating it was gift time. The girls really got into that. Anne got a lot of nice things.
Here is Anne and Ellie. We are thrilled to have them part of our family.
Yet, in the middle of all this joy and wedding bliss is a very sad reality. Our sweet Maddie will be moving to Atlanta with her mom on Sept. 3rd. This sadness is heart breaking. Jamie is a great dad. He loves he daughter. And to see them be torn from each other is sad. 
We will miss your sweet smile, bright eyes and tender heart.
We will miss you Sweet Madeline.P.S. ~jenny~ our prayers are with you tomorrow.
