We were very excited to have a visit from Amanda, John and Sidney this weekend! I hadn't seen Amanda since her wedding last August (1 1/2 years) and of course hadn't gotten to meet baby Sidney who was born in December. They made sure to head down to Dallas from Canyon (right near Amarillo) to visit since we moved closer. They stayed with John's aunt so were glad to visit his family as well.
Lorelei was very excited and kept saying "Baby Sidy!" (Sidney) as we were counting down the days until their visit. That morning she woke up and all I heard from her room was "Baby Sidy coming! Baby Sidy coming!" :)
Saturday morning they came over and we got to meet babies we had been waiting forever to meet, my kids opened fun presents and then we headed to Joe's Crab Shack for lunch. I was wanting to go there since they have a playground and thought it was a brilliant idea to have a playground at a nice restaurant. Lorelei was not that interested, but it was still a kid friendly atmosphere at least.
Then we headed home for nap (late as is the usual these days) and visited before heading out to the little beach for some fun. Miss Sidney thought the beach was best for napping...I would agree and would love to take a nap there with her! :) Brad was excited to use Lorelei's new huge shovel. (I knew he would be thrilled that was her choice at the store.) He dug her a huge hole and then they filled it with water. She loved her "mud bath" as we called it.
Sunday we saw them for a couple of hours at Ikea where we then had to take pictures of the kids together since, of course, we failed to do so the day before. Makin is nearly twice as big as Sidney, but you can't quite tell in the pictures. :) Looking forward to watching the kids grow up together (even for short visits) like their mommies! :)
You did a much better job summing up the weekend than I did. :) We had a great time and can't wait to see ya'll again!
