The next place we went was to visit Matt's great-aunt Lolly and Peggy. If was nice to visit with them and catch up. I think it had been since Thanksgiving since we had seen Lolly. Hopefully we will be back to visit before too much time passes again.
We then went to the mall to see Grandma Fairlie (she works at the mall) and to pick up Matt's wedding ring. There were a few stones loose so they were fixing it. We have a blast at the mall. The women in the jewelry store are wonderful and my kids love them.
Our final stop for the day was to Leah and Tyler's. They fed us a delicious meal. Thank you so much for that. G1 and G3 loved the cats. G2 isn't much into animals (she gets that from me). We also went out to see the horses. G1 and G3 threw apples to them. G2 got down after a while and picked up apples for Matt to throw to them to the horses. G1 got to get in with the horses with Uncle Tyler. He really enjoyed it. He did get spooked when a horse jumped from getting bit by a horse-fly and bumped G1's head.
The drive home was nice. The moon was absolutely beautiful. I wish I could have gotten a better picture of it than I did.
Wednesday we decided to go visit Marcia and Jacob. While there we got to spend time with Jessie and Aiden. We walked to the park and of course had a blast. On the way back Aiden and G1 held hands. It was absolutely adorable.
We went to Jacob's parents' house for dinner. I love spending time with his mom (his dad's great too, I've just never really spent any time with him). The piano was a big hit with the Gs. It was fun watching them play.
We decided to stay the night and continue having fun longer (which actually that happens most any time we go visit them--so I wasn't surprised).
Thursday morning Aiden came back over for Marcia to watch her. We made bread and the kids all played. It was a lot of fun. Hopefully we will get to see Jessie and Aiden again before they move. Thanks for hanging out with us Jessie and Aiden; thanks for letting us crash at your house Marcia and Jacob.
After we got back home the kids were all pooped. They ended up taking a 3.5 to 4 hour nap! It was wonderful. I was able to get most of my book read in that amount of time.
Friday afternoon I took G3 to get her stitches out. She didn't like it but she did really well. I tried to get a picture of how she looks but she didn't cooperate very well. I also included another picture of G4 just because I wanted to.
Sounds like y'all have been busy! I love the slideshows, I really liked the pictures of all the sleeping kids! So, are you going to get a piano for the Gs? Maybe a set of drums, too, while you're at it! They could totally be a little band :)
