Girls Week

My Mom, Sister Venessa and her new baby Izabella came to visit.  We had a great 4 days.  They arrived late late Tuesday night--they were scheduled to arrive a little before midnight, but their flight was delayed because Southwest computers were down and well we didn't get to bed until almost 2am.  Wednesday was a crazy day--Ellie had preschool, Lila had tumble class, I had to setup for New Beginnings, pick Ellie up then do a quick lunch before taking Ellie to Kinder Roundup then home to do a few little things, dinner and then off to finish the electronic setup for New Beginnings and I didn't get home from cleanup until 9:45pm.  I appreciated their patience and help with the girls to make the day run smoother.  I also think they appreciated a day to relax since it was a late night before.

My girls loved having a baby around to dote on.  One of the main reasons for the trip was to let Venessa go through all of my girls' clothes and see if anything would work for Izzy.  We sent her home with a whole suitcase full of clothes.











 The weather was beautiful while they were here.  Near 80 every day and clear skies.  We decided to take the girls swimming at the Rec Center.



Friday evening Ellie had her sports class where we all got to watch her "play" flag football (she didn't like the flag around her waist so she mostly just stood there while people ran around her).  It was also my brother Jake's and Steve's sister Stephanie's birthdays so we had to celebrate by going out for yogurt.

Of course there was shopping.
Nessa wanted to get a hat to take to Mexico she bought two and Lila had recently acquired her "pretty hat" and she insisted that we all wear one and take a picture.

Here's to next time!
(who knows maybe little Izzy will be trying to keep up with the girls)
