Lucy, after a long day....so great to have this thumb right where I can get to it...
Oh, what a glorious trip we took to see the twins, in March, and attend their blessing! I flew out a few days early and Bret and Aydan came later, then they left after 4 days and I got to stay on for the rest of the week.
At one point during my stay, Hailey was apologizing for the lack of outside activities to do while I was there. But I was so enjoying being a "Mimi" and just taking care of babies!
Besides, we also got to visit with my family a bit, going to Grandpa and Grandma Cannon's, the kids making a great snowman and playing with all of the old toys, and then going out to Margy and Eldon's to see the new studio and bathroom. We went to the Aquarium, which was so cool! We also helped with Ethan's birthday party, and celebrated his turning a big four years old. That same week we attended Mila's "Grandparents Day" (we were, of course, asked if WE were the Grandparents...) and even got to take the babies to the doctor. It was a fun time, but oh, so very short....
It has been several months since I have been back, and after going through withdrawal, and getting back into my busy life, I still ache for those babies....
Lucy and Lane...such adorable girls!
