As we headed towards Ohio from the east, my sister and her family were heading towards Ohio from the Chicago area. We talked periodically throughout the afternoon and as we got closer we realized we were about equal distances from mom and dad's house. We pulled onto their street less than 1 minute before Jodi, but we sat and waited for them so we could pull into the driveway together. Mom had perched herself on the front porch, camera in hand, anticipating our arrivals.
Here are Jodi and I seeing each other for the first time in a year--last time we were both pregnant with these two babies.
We headed to the backyard where Dad had made a sandbox and it was ready to be put to the test by Timothy and Madison.
The next day--spending some time in the backyard. Lindsay orchestrated the making of this makeshift train using the chairs. From left to right--Lindsay, Madison, Timothy, and Carson.
We spent a little time that first morning at the football field for relay for life. Here's a group shot of all the kiddos. Carson, Sarah holding Jason, Allie holding Savannah and Madison, Timothy, and Lindsay.
Madison took immediate interest in Savannah. She was constantly asking to hold her. Here she is reading her a story.
And the boys enjoyed loving on Jason. Carson is slowly learning to be more gentle as he gives him a hug.
More posts coming soon.
