More Family Visits

Allen's youngest brother, Craig, his wife, Rachel and their son, Nolan were able squeeze in a visit during his college Spring Break. We've had a really good time just hanging out and taking it pretty easy. Addie has been spoiled by the extra attention. Rachel and Craig are expecting their second and swear Addie is good practice for them. We played Settlers of Catan (I am not a board game fan, but when we have enough people Allen really likes to play). Rachel and I took a couple of hours to ourselves and had mani/pedis. That was a real treat for both of us!
The kids have been running around and played outside when the wind would allow. Lexi and Nolan have gotten along pretty well for two oldest children who haven't had to share anything with anyone in their own homes. We even fit in a quick trip to the local park.

We did make one day trip while they were here. I'm sure everyone will be shocked to learn where we went.

The zoo!

This time, Spring had definitely sprung and the animals were very active. The weather was pretty nice (but that night we had 65 mph winds!). The animal trainers were out and about, camel rides were going, and there were lots of kids. We all had a really good time.

We all thought this was a funny way to catch a nap.

They are so cute! I'm glad you had sunshine for the zoo!

About Me

What started as a way to communicate with far away friends and family has become a place for this horse trainer/HR manager turned stay at home mom of 3 girls to hold on to a bit of her own identity. It's my take on the ins and outs, the ups and downs, the thoughts and feelings, the mistakes and triumphs of this family as we bumble our way to eternity.
