Surprise visit from FL

Aaron and family came up to visit so he could present at a conference. We were expecting just him, and were thrilled to have the rest of the family.

The weather turned gorgeous, so we drove everyone to the top of Kennesaw Mountain on MLK day,

Then we hiked up to the tippy top. Everyone in Atlanta also came with their kids and dogs.
Even Levi hiked.

Then came ROCK CLIMBING toddler level.

Awesome sunshine!!!!

It's why I like GA.

New Year's

Some folks lingered on.

We melted small crayons together and Michael cut his finger on the scissors. His parents made him a splint so he wouldn't bend his hand.

We played some more.

And visited Grandpa.

And got babysat by Nana and Papa.

And toured the BAPS Hindu Temple

And celebrated New Year's Eve on the wild side. (She actually captured one of our children!)

Happy 2010!!!

At the Gym

We took almost the whole gang to Southern Prep Gym. (Thanks Reva!)

We totally wore them out!!!!

Cousins galore!

Yes, it was noisy! Yes, it was messy! Yes, it was lots of work!

But the love was worth it.

We sang.

We danced.

And played charades.

And pretended to be babies.

Uncle Alex helped them make boats that floated down the creek.

We had quiet time shows.

Did art (later blog).

And got to know each other. And best of all, nobody got seriously sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!
