Last week Makaela and I enjoyed a short, busy and fun filled trip down to California. My parents were very gracious and they got me a ticket to come down and see them...and so they could also see Makaela :) We had such a wonderful time with them! It was far too short--but I'm sure it will always feel like its too short. Makaela actually got to see most of her aunts and uncles which was so much fun! She even introduced some of them to Chick-fil-A. She's such a good niece :) She also got to play with her 2 cousins on the Board side. It was so much fun to see her interact with them now that she's more interactive. Emma is 2 1/2 and Addy is 6 months and she had fun with them--for the most part. Toward the end when she was real tired and probably ready for some sense of stability to life again, she did not enjoy her cousins playing with her. She definitely had only child syndrome--but we aren't planning on changing that for a little while yet. For now, she will just have to learn to play nice with the kids around church and hopefully Christmas will be better! We are so excited to be back down there in just a month and a half or so! Time will fly, we are sure and we are eagerly anticipating time with both of our families!! Here are some pics and videos of our trip :)
Makaela Loved the Star Music Toy at Grandma and Grandpa's
Spending time with Great Grandma Helen
Grandma and Grandpa with their 3 grandgirls. Waiting for some boys to come along.
Ahem, Nathan Board needs to get on that :)
Hangin with nana Karen at Chick Fil A
With Auntie Alicia. She's providing grandbaby # 8 and girl # 5. Girls are winning :)
Makaela lovin' on herself in the mirror. Her face is a combination of squealing excitement with screaming frustration out of tiredness and lack of stability/schedule. Fun times :)
Uncle nate--He's the one who we're waiting on for some nieces and nephews :)
So, here Darren and I decided to try and get a picture with all 3 girls. We have 1, Emma, who will sit still for a picture and smile at the camera. We have 2, Addy who is learning so much that she is enthralled with everything around her. We have 3, Makaela, who is faster than the speed of light and to get her to sit still without crawling to me for a picture is a miracle. Darren got a different angle of this shot, but I think for now we both failed at getting on with all 3 girls looking at us smiling that wasn't blurry :) So for now, this is as good as it gets.
One last thing, a video of Makaela with the star toy at grandma and grandpas. :) Thanks mom and dad for the trip and can't wait to see you at Christmas!!
