Busy, Busy!

The past few weeks have been so very busy, but then again summers are usually like that. We've had many visitors, have done our own fair share of visiting others and have even made some time for a little traveling. Summers are made for enjoying friends and family.
A couple of weeks ago, my friend Victoria came by for a visit and the babies just loved playing with her. Victoria and I work together and share an office space; she has become a dear friend over the past three years and I will miss her during this next school year.

The babies love spending time with my parents (Grampa and Gramma) and my mom likes to brag that she can't go three days without seeing her grandchildren.

Finally, we took the babies on their very first long(ish) road trip. We have spent the night in a hotel before, but it was only a couple of hours away and it was just for one night. This time, we traveled four hours away and spent four days away as well. Our trip was so busy and fun that we didn't take our camera out until this morning (our last morning of the trip)! I know that Tanya took some pictures of the babies while J. and I were at a wedding on Saturday**, but she hasn't sent them to me yet. So, this is the only picture I have of our big trip:

The babies having fun spinning in the hotel desk chair.

 **Tanya and Craig took care of the Chick and Pea (along with their own 10 month old son and 9 year old daughter) the afternoon and evening of Saturday while J. and I were at a wedding. When we came home that night, T & C sat on the couch and stared off into space.  I guess Chick and Pea have that effect on caregivers.
