A Visit from Hunter & Lincoln

We had a great day today - it was so special because we got a visit from Hunter and Lincoln! It was so much fun spending time with Hunter and watching how he and Lyla & Cade are becoming real playmates. We started the day at All About Kids open gym - the kids really enjoyed playing on the inflatables. 

When we got home, Lyla insisted on trying to hold Lincoln. She’s so into babies these days. She just loves everything about them. 

Mom made us BLT’s, which were wonderful as she used her own home grown tomatoes. Unfortunately, I forgot to buy lettuce, but she made it work - they were fantastic!

I wish I had taken more pictures - it was such a fun day because Sarah, Mom, Donna and Nancy were here. It was just so busy that I wasn’t able to use my camera much. We had a really fun “Doll Contest” - Lyla decided last night that we were going to do this today - she entered her new doll, and Donna and Nancy also had dolls of their own. Participants were judged by me and Mimi on hair, interview and clothing. Lyla’s doll was the ultimate winner. 

It was a great family day. So fortunate to have such wonderful people around our babes!

A Visit from Hunter

We were so excited to get a visit from Hunter today. Thank you, Na-Nee for bringing him up with Mimi. Cade napped through half of it, but we were glad to spend time with him nonetheless. 

Here, the boys played a little before Cade became obsessed with Mimi's iPad: 

Sweet boys:

Here, Cade is back to what he loves most these days: 

And, Lyla was kind of doing her own thing today: 

It was a great afternoon, and a reminder of how the sweetest times of life are often the most simple. About 25 minutes after Hunter left, I received a phone call from Lance that he'd been in an accident that involved a semi truck on his way to work. Mercifully, he was ok, but the Civic was ultimately totaled. 

He was okay - no physical injuries - and he went to work that night as planned. It was really one of those moments, though, when you stop to realize just how blessed we all are. 

We are all so relieved that Daddy is ok.
