memories

 Our family spent the last 2 weeks with our Florida family in tow.  Up until Will's big day... we had two 4 year olds, two 3 year olds and a 1 year old all under 1 roof.  I can't even begin to describe the amount of laughter we heard.  Surprisingly they fought very little, and actually really enjoyed each others company very much.  Will and Aidan were inseparable, reminding us how they were "best friends".  Isa and Andrew spent much of their time together in the sandbox.  Gabi enjoyed chasing them all around and dying of laughter while she played with all of them.  She definitely thinks she is one of the older kids!
For my sister and I, it was a wonderful visit.  It was relaxing, sweet, and fun.  Most of the time we spent in the back yard, letting the kids run around and play.  We also went on a few adventures!  Nature walks in the metro-parks, bike rides, the splash pad, and our trip to Niagara Falls to name a few.  Arnold even surprised the kids with a short visit, just in time for Will's party.  So many friends of ours commented how nice it would be if they lived closer.  Needless to say... they are missed already... and many of us are already counting down their next visit in December!  

 

 

We definitely had a memorable 2 weeks.  And yes... we do wish we lived closer.
