ny

we had so much fun in ny with everyone. my brother richie and his wife erin and josh and katie are living in apartments at my parents house so we got to see lots of family this trip and had so much fun. they loved playing with everyone. sad i dont have a picture of rachel with danny but she was his best buddy. she would feed him and say "hi danny" non stop when he was around. she always wanted to be with him when he was home. it was so sweet. and livy i scared of him. the pictures are out of order but you get the idea.

play time with aunt hannah. lots of that going on. hannah skipped three days of school while we were there and they had so much fun with their auntie! they ask for her everyday here at home.

tea time with grandma. grandma had tons of new toys to keep us entertained. we loved it there!

pop pop! it was great having so many helping hands there. we got to see my dad almost everyday for lunch and meet up to do something fun. we rode the carousel and train in a mall about 20 times one day. they loved it.

bff. too cute.

they had fun trick or treating with the older kids on the block for a few houses. they we walked home very slowly.

hannah, livy and rach were all dorothy. they were adorable. and here is livy in her most common form this trip. thanks to auntie becky for the awesome costumes! she sewed them herself! we will be calling for next years too!

clapping for m&ms.

at the farm feeding the animals. they liked it most of the time. rachel got scared of a few animals and livy liked it only if she could do it by herself. that is how it goes with everything now a days.

livy doing it on her own. she would not let anyone help her pull the wagon. she would remove your hand and tell you no. she is "strong-willed and independent." i believe that is the term i was told to use instead "brat or punk."

we had a great time. thanks so much for everyones help. we love you and miss you all! cant wait to see you soon. mom thanks for letting me sleep in! it was a great treat! and a big thanks to alan and brenda who conquered a flight from ny to tx with a wiggly baby on their laps! they were in ny to see their friend run the marathon so i flew back the same time as them but couldn't get the same flight so they had livy and i had rach. thank goodness is all i can say. one was enough for me for that night.
