R & E

After the family left Rich and Erin stayed here with us for two weeks. It was so nice to have them around and so nice to have the help. We miss them! Not living near any of  my siblings makes me sad but made me appreciate getting to spend time with these guys for a while. It was great having them around. While they were here it was Richie's birthday so we had a cake and sung happy birthday like 5 times because the girls just wanted to blow the candles out again and again, and Livy covered the cake in spit as she blew each time!

That night we went out to eat and then went to drive the go karts for some b-day fun! The girls had a blast even though this first picture of Livy doesn't look like it! She was a little scared at first.

Rachel loved every minute it seemed!

The next weekend Rich and Erin took the girls up to Austin to visit Erin's brother and sister in law and their two boys. They ended up having a great time and staying for three nights! I was kind of sad to see them go but it was a nice break and they seemed to have a great time! Thanks Brad, Holly, Chase and Tyson for letting them stay with you!

The kids had a great time and Erin came back relaxed still but I think their antics were a little much for Richie! He was glad to be home and have their mother take back the madness! Thanks Rich and Erin! I know it wasn't easy but it was very much appreciated! We hung out the rest of the time they were here. We didn't get much sequence playing in because I was always tired but it was fun just hanging out.

Colt got lots of snuggle time too which he loved! With lots of baby practice now these two headed off to Oklahoma City for the next few months so Rich could attend the FAA training center to prepare for a job as an air traffic controller! I hope they don't freeze to death up there! We miss you guys and hope to see you soon! Good luck with school and thanks so much for being a great brother and sister. Love you!
