Hello Again

I've been absent here because of SICKNESS, at least this time the computer had a virus not any of the kids.

But now I feel like I should play catch-up and just smush the past two weekend extravaganzas into one affair.

So 2, almost three weekends ago, Tiffany and Andrew came for a visit.
And that's the problem with delayed blogging is that you can't remember too many details...

But I do remember this, there was quite a bit of wrestling,



watching TV in the bed,



a visit to IKEA,

and a homemade pizza.





The little boys were so cute too.





Thanks for visiting, guys! Come again soon.

Then our visitor from last weekend was an unexpected and rare treat. My friend from high school, who currently lives in Florida, drove over for a quick weekend trip. I have seen her twice in the past 8 years and the last time was 2.5 years ago. I tried to warn her that while exciting, our house would be different from the nightlife she's used to. She'd said, "don't worry, it'll be fine" and I think it was.

Amy and Luke

Ava met her somewhat disappointed because I think she thought that "Mimi" (her great grandmother) was coming not "Amy". I introduced her and the first thing Ava said was, "I want Amy to go home" And then she said it a few more times. I was mortified. That's our warm Colton welcome. Amy brushed it off and you will not be seeing any pictures of the 2 of them together.

Ava aside, we had a really fun time and Dan was sweet enough to keep the kids alot so we could do some things together. We even went to a movie! Yahoo!

Amy and Me

We made Monkey Bread and malts (on separate eating occasions, even I have limits). And talked and talked.


It was short and sweet but really great. I don' t think Amy visits my little blog here often but in case you catch this one, Amy, good luck to you. Be good, and do your best! I love you!
