Have I mentioned that my computer suddenly started working again? I opened it, propped my trusty flashlight on my shoulder and was working on printing some subway art for my secret sister when it happened. I was fiddling with the brightness and all of a sudden the screen brightened and stayed that way! Whoa. Now it still randomly goes off again but fiddle with the brightness and it works again. Amazing. So now I can catch up on what our little family has been up to (hence the reason for my daily posts...)
Any hoo. This past weekend we loaded up our crew and drove five hours to visit Bobby's brother and his sweet family. We always enjoy our visits with Dave & Karen but this time just seemed exceptionally fun. Maybe it was because there were two gorgeous little 3 (well nearly three) year old girls running around with my three. Uncle Bobby spent the evenings chasing all five kids around the house while the rest of us -responsible- adults did things such as cook, set the table and clean up. Seriously though, Bobby is an awesome Dad and a super fun uncle. We could barely hear ourselves think due to the thundering feet and squeals of the kids but what a beautiful sound.
On Saturday we visited a local planetarium. This may have been one of my favorite parts of the weekend because sweet little Catherine sat in my lap the entire show. She chatted and pointed out the stars and moon to me. Amos loved it too. He loves being outside at night looking at the stars. Plus Elmo & Big Bird were the narrators which made it even more fun.
We visited Dave & Karen's new house and visited two parks. Amos has gotten fearless about going down the slides. And tiny Hannah nearly made it all the way across the monkey bars without any help.
Before we knew it the weekend was gone and it was time to return home. Everyone was sad to part - especially Catherine & Hannah. Poor Hannah really enjoyed having two girls to play with.
