Success, at last!
























This past weekend we went down to Ohio to visit Craig's parents. While we were there we were successful in completing a trip where NOBODY threw up. It was a miracle! It seems like every time we leave the house somebody gets sick.

We also got to meet up with our friend Lara. She lived next to us when lived in Wooster and it seems like whenever we come down she's gone or we don't connect. It was so fun to get to see her and hang out!

Another success story from this weekend is our visit to the temple. My friend Tasha Tanner came to Columbus to visit her brother and we arranged to pick her up and go to the temple together. It was a wonderful experience and also great for Craig and I to get to visit the temple together at teh same time! That hasn't happened in YEARS! After the endowment session we got lunch at PFChang's. It was wonderful. The whole way home I kept gushing about how great our day was. I had so much fun catching up with Tasha and eating great chinese food and it was so rewarding to finally get to the temple together. A huge thanks to Yaya and Paw paw for keeping our crazy kiddos while we were down in Columbus.

In addition to visiting friends and going to the temple we had a fabulous weekend visiting with family and playing in the pool. We even got the chance to see Phil, Amanda, Alexis and Addy on Friday night. I can't wait to hang out with them again (and go to Cedar Point together this Fall!). Katie was thrilled to see "the cousins" (Driana, Summer, Anthony and Cameron) and go swimming with them on Saturday night in Ya ya's pool!

We made the drive home today and it was nice to break it up with a lunch break at Kent and Leisy's house. It was a great weekend full of many of my favorite people, now that's what I call Success!!

Sounds like a wonderful weekend!! The pics of the kids are so cute...especially Taylor in the goggles and Katie in the playhouse. OK, you and Craig are pretty cute too in front of the Temple! We were in Columbus also for Cooper's third BD so were not able to connect, but have something I want to send Katie for her baptism. The invite was too cute! Pic of her adorable!! Glad you had a great Ohio weekend!
