It's hard to say good-bye....

While Andrew and I were on vacation, the kids were having a blast with my parents (and cousin, Cortnee)! They got to ride kiddie rides at the mall....

....go to the movies....

....and play lots of games.

In fact, every time we called to check in they hardly had time to talk to us. Mom, Dad, and Cortnee had to leave a couple of days after we got home, and as usual we were sad to see them go. THANKS AGAIN, Grandma and Poppy, for taking such good care of the kids while we were gone!

A few days after my parents left, we also had to say good-bye to my cousin, Stephanie, and her family. After living in Colorado for a few years, it was time for them to move back to Oklahoma to be closer to family. They stayed at our house for a couple of days before leaving town, and we were able to spend some time together before they left. We were super sad to see them go, but are excited to see them again soon!

Our kids all together!

Being silly.

Steph and I = BFF!

Good-bye hugs!
