So here we go with some pictures to document the weekend!
First, we must clean up for our guests!
Then, we must share snuggles and sippies with our guests.
It is of utmost importance to let your guests have the run of the house,
even if that means allowing them to get their hand stuck,
over and over and over, in the handle of a step stool.
(Good thing Grandpa Lindy was there to rescue Azalea time and again.)
We must also warm up to and play with the guests. I'm happy to announce that it only took Elliea few hours, rather than a few days. This is Ellie and her aunt Alice (Z's mom).
Of course, there must also be a parade-of-babies...
(make note that usually Z is the naked one; E is scantily clad due to her high fever possibly from one hand-foot-mouth virus...we must admit she wasn't a constant barrel of fun but she did pretty well, considering the 103.2 temp she had Saturday).
And then, right before our guests leave, we take a quiet morning walk with Grandpa and cousin Z to the park for some good old fashioned swinging. Ahhh, we love swinging, and now we
especially love swinging with Grandpa.
Here is a super cute close-up of cousin Z...
And one more to demonstrate the fun the two girls have together...
I mean, just look at the smile on E's face!
All in all it was a great weekend, but it didn't last long enough. They arrived Friday night around 10 and were gone by 1 pm Sunday. But at least AMZ are no longer in Miami! For the time being they are a quick 8-hr drive away. The kids are the #1 reason to try to spend more time together, but unfortunately it's the kids that make the trip hard. Anyone that's traveled for more than 20 minutes with a small child knows what I'm talking about. Of course, it's well worth the effort, I will never argue with that.
