A very busy house continued....

The next week, after my brother's visit, we had plans to drive to Virginia. We left on Wednesday night and drove all night. We got their about 10am, and by the looks of things, one could be fooled into thinking the girls didn't sleep. But the Lord answered our prayers and they were little angels and slept almost the whole way and never cried!
Magnus enjoyed practicing being a "big" brother. He did a great job!

Joe took some fun pictures of Cliff and I

We took some fun pictures of Joe and Calista

Billie loved the cowboy boots!

Magnus and Billie loved having someone their own age to play with. They entertained each other non stop!

Billie loves anything to do with horses or kitty cats as she calls them. So the highlight of her trip was the horse rides and almost unlimited access to petting the kitty cat.

Even Lily sat on the horse long enough to snap a pictures, although she was far less impressed! :-)

As always, we had a great time and we can't wait to visit again!

When I said busy house I wasn't kidding!!! Stay tuned for the coming Father's Day weekend. We're making another family trip to Disney for that!

A Very Busy House

A lot has happened since I posted last but I'll try and briefly update you all.

A surprising twist...I clepped a test that allowed me to "officially" graduate simaltaneously with a AS degree from HSBC & a BA from IWU. I walked in the HSBC graduation with my cousin Kristel who was salutitorian.

The same weekend our good friend Stephen Kuo came to visit, he took Billie to the park so she adored him!

Cliff and Stephen have been friends since Kindergarten! Stephen now lives in Dallas, so we don't get to see him as much as we would like!

The following weekend was Cliff's 31st Birthday. We celebrated by taking a family picnic to the Lock's in Stuart. We had a lot of fun, clearly though, Billie had the most fun!

The next weekend my brother Joe came. We were so excited that he was able to visit, as it was his first time to meet Lily. Joe is owns his own company(s) it's very tough for him to get a way so we were especially happy he could make it! Billie adores company so she was thrilled to have one more Uncle Joe to play with!



Traditionally Sunday nights are spent at my In-Laws house, so we snapped a few "every day" shots.

My great grandfather, my daughter's great great grandfather is turning 100 years in September!!! We are submitting his picture to Good Morning America's Birthday special and needed a picture. Both Billie & Lily absolutely love my grandfather so it seemed fitting that we submit a photo of the 3 of them.
