Visitors from the North


Huzzah! Ryan and Maggie came to visit over Labor Day weekend, trekking across the border with their two kiddos to spend some time with their long-lost friends from CYC. It was great to see them, and to finally get to meet little Liam... who, at 14 months, isn't really so little at all. It was fun seeing the three big kids really play together for the first time, sharing toys and stealing toys from each other like they had never been apart!

We hung out at the pool on Saturday, followed by a pork chop dinner at A&E's house (best pork chops ever. EVER.) and kept the kids up way too late! On Sunday we met up in the evening at IKEA, toting all five kids along... that was an adventure. Then apple pie and ice cream and conversation, again keeping the kids up much past their bedtimes. Is that why I'm pulling my hair out today? Huh. Guess I brought it on myself.

It was great to see the whole clan, and we hope to get out to the far reaches of the earth (i.e. North Dakota) to visit them soon. We miss you guys! Come back again!
