March Trip Home

We had to make another trip home (minus the drive, the trip is ALWAYS welcome!) for Brooklyn's doctor appt. You know, the one where she screamed for 2 hours?! Yucky memory. Anyways, on to the good stuff from our trip.
Rachel was in town for a day with her kiddos too, so we met Kendra and fam at good ole CEC for fun, games, and mini bday party for Cass. Here are Brooklyn and Nolan "playing together" in the toddler area.

Something got their attention! No idea.

This was my first time ever to take B's walker somewhere and just turn her loose. She LOOOOOOOOVED it. Can't say that I blame her because she probably always gets held and not put down like she wants. She was ALL OVER the place. Made us cry.... well, me and Rach. :) She is only linear with it right now, so she constantly bonked into stuff. But we all came to her rescue and redirected her. BIG GIRL! :)

No grown ups in their right minds want to EAT at the CEC, so we went and got burgers afterwards. Cutie girls at their "big girl" table being goofy.

We can't resist the matching shirts for our girls we force to be BFFs.

B getting a little fun lovin' from Kendra! LOVE these pics!!


Love these too. Seriously, they are too cute!! GROUP HUG!

I love how Roselyn is practically choking Reagan, and Cass has her hand so casually in her pocket.
This may be one of my faves of all time....

While at my parents', we spent our time in the GORGEOUS weather outside that day. Here at our house, we have the steepest driveway imagineable. We have hurricanes here, ya know, so our house is built to not flood. So, we don't get to do fun things like ride bikes in the driveway here. But there is LOADS of fun to be had at Granddaddy and Grandmommy's!!

Plus, B has wheels too!!! She would just go up and down the driveway... good therapy (unbeknownst to her) and BIG FUN!

This day was good for my soul. It was kinda the first time I have had that moment where as a Mom you're sitting outside watching your kids actually play together. I mean, they play together all the time..... but we've never been really sure how this kind of "play" would look like for our family. And yes, it was different than most families and their kids, but it was PERFECT. I can't really describe, it was just great.
Look at that grin!!!

Then she stood and tore apart blades of grass for about an hour. :)

I know I'm biased.... but good grief she's pretty!!

Then she would reach down and grab more grass, nearly tipping over her walker. We have to watch her like a HAWK in this thing!

Daddy was out trimming some trees, and Reagan got to help. Her help consisted of carring small twigs to the trashcan, which earned her a $5 bill in a matter of about 2 minutes work. Nice, Reagan. Way to know who to work for!!

Then, someone needed their own turn on the ladder.

Goofies.



Just watching them do nothing but play with dead grass and enjoy each other warms my heart.
Then B and Grandmommy sat for a good while just holding each other and a twig with leaves. B would tear off each leaf, then ask for another twig. Grandmommy didn't mind, I don't think!
Can't wait to go home again! Our time is NEVER enough to see enough people! Goes by SO fast!
