A couple of weekends ago I spent a few nights at my parents house while my brother was in town.
Our church had it’s youth Disciple Now that same weekend, and our house was hosting the boys, so the girls and I checked out for a few days and left Stephen to fend the fort.
We arrived Friday morning and stayed until Sunday evening. I made Sarah a pallet on the floor in our room and Elanor stayed in the pack-n-play with a blanket fort surrounding her (away with you, morning sun). One of the nights we had a crazy lightening storm so Sarah crawled into bed with me. She used to be a giant bed hog, but has turned into a sweet little cuddler, so I didn’t mind one bit.
We spent the days outside and the evenings dancing and chasing the girls around the house.
The older these kiddos get the harder it is to catch them on camera. They move fast, and really kept me on my toes.

Happy 32nd to my Big Brother :)
The girls were exhausted exhausting, and had a blast! My parents were gracious to take us in with such a full house. Full days, nice and quiet evenings, it was just my style.
