After the Layland/Abbotts went home...

It was a very painful airport experience, but the family was able to get home safely. Just before they left, my sister, Deanna and her daughters, Allison and Zoey stopped by for easter weekend. We were able to have a small egg hunt in the basement (since it was freezing and raining/snowing out). The kids seemed to really enjoy that. It was funny to watch Kaden--he was so focused on eating ALL of his candy. The Easter Bunny came and left paints and stamps for the kids, so we had fun playing with all of that.

So after my family left, Jenn (our friend/neighbor) from Maryland came to visit for the week. It was great to have Jenn around. I was nasty sick and so tired...and she was willing to play with the kids outside, play endless games of Monopoly Jr with Sydney, and read stories to all of them. While she was here, the weather gods graced us with snow, rain, and sun. We were so lucky that it stopped snowing once or twice, so the kids could go out to play. Sad that I am still talking about that this time of year. (when will it ever end?)

Now that everyone is gone...our kids keep asking about when our next visitor is coming. Funny.
