In the Meantime

It worked out that we had exactly two weeks between our moving day and Jeff's first day of work. So we were able to spend a whole week enjoying time with family. A week goes by much faster than anyone wanted, but we did have a lot of fun together.

We spent lots of time playing games, and enjoying time together.

One night, we got together at the Stevens for a dinner/birthday celebration for Aunt Amy. It was fun to get together with cousins. Jeff even picked up a pinata to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. (more pics to come later)

Emily & James

One night we left the kids with babysitters, (Scott & Amanda have some fabulous ones!), and had a bowling date night for the adults. I love that our families are such great friends- it's fun to go all together.




Saturday morning we went to the park to enjoy some tennis. The kids enjoyed playing on the playground. Matthew & Gideon also enjoyed 'watering' all the surrounding plants- seriously, I don't know where those boys learn their shenanigans!

Emily really enjoyed playing with everyone's water bottles.

We went bowling Saturday afternoon so we could take the kids too. That's always fun and entertaining. It was fun to go for ice cream cones afterward.

We also had a belated birthday celebration for Emily. She had fun opening presents. Mom and I found some cute outfits for her when we went on a quick girls shopping trip. My favorite present, however, was the darling little purse and bracelets my mom found for Emily. She loved them!


We're sure going to miss spending time with our families, but I'm glad we were able to spend the week with them.
