Cousins!!

Thursday and Friday of this past week we were in South Bend for our Great Lakes Teacher's convention. My parents came to watch our kids and Scott and I got to go just the two of us. It was a nice treat~thanks mom and dad! I think all went well on the home front (at least they claimed it did!) It was kinda weird to say hello to them and then an hour later leave town!! The kids had a blast...it was just too short. We got to see Paul and Jill and the kids as well as Ben and Dayna and the girls. I got to meet my new niece, Ireland Faith, our little miracle baby. She is an absolute doll!! I LOVE her hair!! What fun to see the cousins together. These are a few pictures of the girls together when Ben and Dayna came to Muncie on Saturday.

Girls' Getaway

Here are a few pictures from my girl's getaway two weekends ago. My friend Nicole's in-laws have a condo in Traverse City, Michigan. Three of us girls went up there for a few days to shop and play and laugh and relax. The Red Hat Society had their Michigan meeting at the resort we were staying at so we had fun watching them and all of their activities!! It was great fun, but as always I was ready to get back to my family when Sunday came!!:) My sweet hubby was kind enough to let me go away again!!!

The Many Faces of Emilee!

My real purpose of posting these pictures is for you to see the bump on Emilee's head-once again!!:) She wiped out in the driveway yesterday. She is quite a drama queen in most things, but when she gets hurt she gets over it quickly. I am grateful for that, seeing that it happens quite frequently!:)

Fort Fun

Why is making a fort so much fun??? I remember my sister and I building forts under the pool table in our basement growing up! We would bring in lamps and sleeping bags and toys, etc. The older boys built a fort the other night after school but had to tear it down for bedtime. Ever since then, Luke has been asking for another one. So today I made one for him and Emilee, knowing it would not last long for two reasons: 1)Emilee would tear it down and 2) interest would be short-lived!! I was correct on both counts!!:) I managed to snap a few quick shots while things were still in tact.
