Friends, Family, and more Friends!!!

Wow, what a busy but very fun week!!!! With Addisyn starting preschool next week I still had a few people that I wanted to visit so had made plans to get together this week! On Monday we got together with my friend Michelle and her kids, from Vermont, who were in Indiana visiting family. We hadn't seen them in a year so it was wonderful to finally catch up where we left off!! Tuesday the girls and I packed up the truck and headed east to Ohio to first visit my cousin Julie and family. We spent the night with them and had a great time catching up and even getting to be a part of a birthday party! Wednesday after lunch we again got in the truck and traveled 2 hrs to see my best friend Beth and family. We spent time playing at the park and hanging out. We stayed the night with them and left this afternoon to head back home! We had such fun seeing all of our friends!! We are glad to be back home with Jim and the girls are glad to be sleeping in their own beds tonight! They did real well on the trip but you could tell by the time we got back home that they are ready for their "normal" routine as they were getting pretty tired! Thank you to Julie and Beth and family for putting us up in your homes....we sure love you all!!!

Then we packed our bags and headed out to my cousin Julie's....here Keira is pulling her suitcase!

It was Micah's birthday Monday (he turned 3) but they waited to have his party on Tuesday so we could be a part of it! The girls loved watching him open presents and get to eat cake!!!

Here are the 3 oldest cousins...Luke 8, Melissa 4, & Addisyn 4

The babies of the family....Keira 1 1/2 & Hallie 1

Melissa & Addisyn on the trampline

Micah got a kick out of jumping and making Keira fall down on the trampline, don't worry she was enjoying it too! =)

After arriving at Beth's house the kids spent probably the only "quiet time" and decided to do some coloring!

Aubrey & Addisyn dressed up

Keira saw the big girls stand here and pose for the camera and she wanted to do the same! =)

We played at a play place in the mall...the kids had it to themselves and went nuts!!

here's my question: whose kids fell asleep first after you left my house? Mine were asleep within 5 minutes. :)
Thanks again for the visit.
