A Weekend with the Pokabla's

We're home tonight after a great weekend at the Pokabla's in Pittsburgh. Lyla loved spending time with the girls, and she couldn't take her eyes off Ellie and Zoe - she was mesermized by their every move. In fact, I think tonight she's wondering where they are now that we're home. She had a great time showing off her new hand skills to Zoe, and Ellie enjoyed picking out her PJs each night.
















Martina and I were able to get away for a few minutes while the daddy's did some babysitting. Everyone was having a great time when we returned. They were all contentedly watching "W":

















Later in the day on Saturday we visited one of the Pittsburgh Inclines and got an amazing view of the city. It was a very chilly day, but it was well worth the effort - we had a great time. Lance & I were really impressed with Pittsburgh - it was much prettier than we ever imagined.

















Other big news from the weekend was that Rice Cereal - Attempt #3 was a SUCCESS!! With a little coaching from Aunt Martina and a new spoon, Lyla seemed to actually enjoy it this time and didn't get that look of sheer dread. She kicked her little feet and moved her hands and even talked a little as she ate her cereal this morning. I can hardly wait to do it again tomorrow!

















We had a great weekend, and it definitely wore all of us out, even little Lyla who couldn't get enough of Ellie and Zoe. It took her awhile to decide to wake up this morning to join Ellie for her dance party in the Pokabla kitchen. She wanted to hang out a little longer with Daddy:
















I was really sad to leave Martina this morning, but we're all very excited that the Pokabla's are moving to Urbana, Illinois in June, so they'll be closer to us in Louisvlle. In fact, we're already planning trips to meet in the middle in Indianapolis as soon as everyone gets moved and settled.

Thanks for an amazing weekend, Mike, Martina, Ellie & Zoe. We're still full from all the great food! :)

We love you all very, very much and we can't wait to see you all again very soon!!!!
