Our Roadtrip...

Pretty stainglass window at their house

Grandma's old house, new and improved

With as much as we "coached" the boys to be good at Larry and Janelle's, their
grandsons were there and they were pretty
"active" so the boys had fun playing right along!


didn't take Mol long to find the "ooks"

Aunt Janelle and Uncle Larry

Man, did we have a fun day yesterday! We left a tad later than planned, but still made it there around the time we had planned. Got on the road and the boys kept asking when we were gonna be there and how much farther! I had packed snacks for the kids (which came in handy) and then we stopped for a later-than-usual lunch which was a nice break in the action. We then journeyed (is that a word?) on thru to Larry and Janelle's (aka Grandma's) house. It's so pretty - so beautifully decorated and inviting. We took a peek in the bed and breakfast part and that took us back to 6 years ago when Jack was in my belly and we stayed there. It was a very nice visit and we chatted a bit, then headed back on the road to "big" Molly's place.

On our way, we detoured to see Grandpa and Grandma's grave stones at the cemetary. It was nice to stop by, it's been, again, since Jack was in my belly that we'd been there. Erk showed the boys and Mikie nearly got stuck in the snow bank :)

Mol's casa

From there we made it to Mol's place and LOVED it. It's the coolest apartment, HUGE inside and so cutely decorated and so Molly :) The boys were getting a little too comfy on her new couches that were delivered yesterday! So we headed out to a Texas Roadhouse for supper and after a bit of a wait (and me following lil Molly around the waiting area while she walked 'round and 'round) we sat and ate some good eats. The boys, I think, by that point were pretty much done. They started kicking under the table, climbing under the table, kept having to go to the bathroom. Lil Molly got my ranch dressing when I wasn't looking and made a big mess :) It was great though, great to see Mol, her place, where she is all this time and to meet Tyler, her friend who came along.

Then the roadtrip home was pretty peaceful as Erk and I ate the chocolate chip cookies Molly made and sent home with us and the kids all fell asleep. Well, I guess not all the kids, the little lady fought it the whole way home...

Today was double nursery duty at church for me and Erk came to late service with the boys. Mol was pretty tired in the nursery but held it together til she fell and bonked her head. Now we are home and headed back out again soon to my cousin, Sarah's house to celebrate her twins baptism! Packed weekend, but fun. Hope you've had a good one!
