Brian is finally back home after a 2 week LONG business trip. By the grace of God I made it through. We had a good time for the most part. But, the children did seem a bit testier. Turns out Lorelai had a tooth coming in. It popped through yesterday morning finally. And I think Gabriel is working on some 2 year molars. Anyway...we survived. Did I mention it was a really LONG trip though? It was. Long. Really long. ;)
So here are a few more pictures of what we were up to. Ending with a few fun ones from when Daddy came home. Finally. Mommy got to go see Harry Potter. Thrilling, heart wrenching, and sadly...the end. But, I look forward to sharing it with both of my kiddos when they get older. If you haven't read the books (or watched the movies, but one should ALWAYS read the books I say) you are missing out on one of the best things to happen in our lifetimes. Just saying. Okay...back to the family stuff.

| Kelly came to visit. We had a good time hanging out, running around town with the kids, and being crafty. I taught Kelly how to "officially" sew. She is borrowing my old machine to work on a project at home. I'll have to post the pillow she made for Gabriel on The Cozy Pumpkin. |

| While Kelly was here we had an unfortunate incident. We lost Lady Bug Girl. a.k.a Lorelai's safety/favorite dolly. Gabriel has Corduroy. Lorelai has LBG. Both from Grandma Wood...does she know how to pick a winner or what?! I think she got lost in a parking lot. Well, this is the LBG temporary replacement. It seems to be working and a new LBG has been ordered. |

| Yay! Daddy is home. He must be bursting with energy after sitting in a conference for 2 weeks...so I let him take over. ;) I wish! But, the kids were thrilled to see him. Gabriel ran to him with arms wide open yelling "DA-DA!!!" Lorelai had a giant smile on her little face. Lorelai was pushing this around the island for a while, but got tired so Daddy put her on for a ride. Wow did she go fast! And huge squeals of excitement were heard throughout the house. lol |
 |
| Never to be left out. Gabriel chased after them with the chomping alligators. That would get me motivated as I don't run unless someone/something is chasing me. :) |
