The Month in Review
So the next few blogs will be about the past month that we have been away from CA. We have been in 9 states! So that should warn you that there are going to be a lot of pictures. So you've been warned, proceed at your own risk.
Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and a Baby Bear
So after a couple weeks in WA, Eric took his part 1 board exam for dental school and we headed off to Eric's family cabin for a little R&R. We got to see Eric's siblings for a couple days and the Farr's came up too. It was so fun! We visited Bear World, Yellowstone twice, water skiied and tubed, kayaked in the Snake River, and spent a lot of time playing games, the Wii, and hanging out in the hot tub watching for shooting stars. We had a hard time leaving! Thank you, Lyle and Mary!
Lillie loved swimming in the hot tub! Isn't she cute?!?
We Are A Happy Family
Here is a picture of my whole family! Eric made a special day trip up to Priest Lake specifically for this picture. Thanks hon, for sacrificing that studying time. This is a picture I stole from my sister's blog because I didn't take a single picture. We arrived on Monday and by that night, I was sick with a flu that I hope to never experience again. I had barely stopped barfing before Lillie started up in the middle of the night. I am just so glad that we were in a cabin and not camping in a tent. Still, it was a horrible night and I didn't feel completely well again until we got home on Friday. And I don't think Lillie had recovered either because she made me hold her the whole time. That was my least favorite trip to PL, which stinks because I hadn't been in 3 years and had been really looking forward to it... oh well. This post sounds every negative, but I will say that it was fun to be with my siblings and their families and to see extended family too. And of course it is one of the most beautiful places on the planet!
My Wonderful Nieces and Nephews
I can't even begin to explain how fun it was for Lillie and me to be back home, surrounded by family. Lillie had such a fun time playing with her cousins, it was really hard for me to take her away from them. But she still remembers everyone, when I quiz her with pictures. And says Macey all the time. I guess she just likes saying the name, since she wasn't all that sweet to Macey when we were there. I loved seeing how interested she was with Baby Maddie and we've got great stories to tell about Lil and Grady running away and eating dog food, etc, etc. We miss you all.
