Kari spent her last 12 days in the country residing at our house :) I feel so blessed! Josh was away on a fishing trip in Canada with his dad and brother, so Kari loaded up the babes and headed to Chicago to get in some good sister and family time before she's gone for a year. My mom headed up to help out with the twins, because let's be honest, I have three littles myself and helping an acting single mom with her 4 month old babies was just not going to be easy. So we had a full house and it was so fun! Crazy and chaotic and messy and awesome. She's been gone for almost a week now, and I miss them like crazy already. I love my family, and sometimes get really melancholy that we're spread across this country and world! But I'm grateful for technology and holidays that are able to bring us a little bit closer together in a very large world.
My mom recently got a new car - a convertible no less - for her birthday and we happily took it out for a spin! It's a really fun car, and my dad has promised it to my mom for her entire married life and was happy to make good on his promise :) NOT kid friendly by any means, lol, but a fun car!
Other than that, we did lots of hanging out. Ice cream, water park, pool in our yard, and playing with our cousins. My dad came up over the weekend and stayed to see the McIntosh clan off, Josh and his parents came up on Sunday and they all headed to their respective homes on Tuesday. Christian also flew out for work Tuesday, so we went from a very busy house to a very empty house, quite quickly. It was a great time though and I look forward to next summer!
Your mom's car makes me a bit jealous. Seriously, I bet it was fun to be with your sister and her children.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a fun (tiring 😁) week! Let's do it again next summer!
