Monday Night News

Lately our life is pretty much filled with running to baseball fields, gymnastics, and church.  Constantly running, trying to keep up with the housework, school stuff, and our "paying" jobs - we kind of forget to stop and "smell the roses".

However, last week we took the time because Matt's cousin's daughter, Ellen, and her friend Nicole, came to visit from New York.  They are in their mid 20's and full of life and fun and sweetness and I think it took our kids about 15 minutes to latch on to them!
We started with a great big, lovely family Easter dinner at our house.

We had fun on hikes, chillin by the pool, dancing at the Grayhawk patio, batting cages, and wii competitions - we managed to have a terrific time and make lots of memories in just 5 days!

 

They left Thursday night and Ainsley cried for about 24 hours about missing them - even though she only met them 4 days earlier. ;-(

We are well back into our crazy life now - but are so glad they came!
