Family Visit

My brother and his family came to visit last weekend from Kansas and I finally have a minute to breathe and post about it. We are all still recovering from withdrawals. Especially Zac and Claire!

We spent almost every waking hour together enjoying the kids playing so well together. It was so great to see the cousins play without any intervention from us adults, especially the 5 year old boys. Zac and Andrew are only 4 months apart had the BEST time together. They called their favorite game "special agents" where they would sneak up on the adults in the living room and scream and run away if we glanced in their direction. Claire and Thomas tried to get in on the action and I think they each got trampled only once. One highlight was the visit to the Long Beach Aquarium. Mostly because the kids loved it so much (and Eric!) but also because I managed not to be pushed in a wheelchair as was suggested by the family. :)

The best day ever was Claire's 3rd birthday where I was able to have every person I care most about in the world (minus Opa) at my house for a little celebration. A very rare treat and a great photo op!

Love, love, love th pics. I think we could create a whole post of "outtake" photos that would entertain at least you and me, if no one else.

We had such a great time. Can't wait to see you all again soon!
