Photo Shoot with Friends

I mentioned in my last post that we had a photo shoot with the kids while the Baileys were in town. We just received the pictures and while we were only able to get one of them all together (Paige was not cooperating and even this one had to be photoshopped), there are some great ones of each of the kids. Here are a few of my favorites. The rest can be found in our gallery.

Paige giving the evil eye to the photographer. Pretty much sums up her mood that morning.

Sisterly love.

Best friends.

Tyler, the lone boy in the mix.

The only group shot.

Sweet Menzie.

Love this one of Molly. She was such a trooper, considering it was freezing!

Addie and Menzie.

Trying to keep Paige warm (and happy) for a few more photos.

The Bailey's Visit

Last week we were lucky enough to have the Bailey's visit us from Charlotte. We had been planning the visit for months and were all very excited to see them again. It felt like old times; we had a great time together. We kept busy with a trip tothe Wild Wilderness Safari, a photo shoot with the kids, Chuck E. Cheeses, a consignment sale, moreshopping, and plenty of eating! Kirby the chimp at the safari was one of the highlights of the trip. He must have been a performer prior to retirement because he put on quite a show, dancing, clapping, and spitting (to which all of the kids spit back at him). He made us all laugh! The kids also really loved Chuck E. Cheeses and to my delight, it was pretty clean and not busy on a rainy Tuesday morning. Might even warrant a trip back sometime. The kids played very well together and it was fun to watch Paige with Addie and McKenzie. She loved playing with the "big girls." We even attempted a sleepover with the girls and Paige enjoyed it until it came time for the sleeping part. At that point she was "all done." No surprise there!

We loved falling right back into our old routines and picking up conversations with the Baileys and Itens. It makes us miss Ryan, Meridith, Menzie, and Molly even more. Here's to the next time!
