The Barricklows......

Josh, Erin and Renae went home yesterday. It was sad...but I'm pretty sure they were ready to get back to their quiet home with only one kid....especially Josh. hahaa. Anyhoo, we had LOADS of fun while they were here, pretty much tried to jam as much as possible in 11 days. Here's a quick recap of our time together:

-small group 2x
-dinners with friends
-Easter Sunday with our respective families
-awesome Easter basket gifts for the kids!
-Josh's grandpa's funeral in Ohio
-Park trips
-Clue, book it, and 3 puzzles
-reformatting our computer (YES - thank you JOSH!! and Nate E)
-LOTS of desserts
-more Barricklow family visits
-eating some GREAT food
-time with our fam who lives far away
-NCAA basketball games - Josh won the bracket in our group! (pretty sure I was last)

For the most part the kids did ok and the girls got to share a room since they're both sleeping thru the night. Which was nice cause then we didn't have to have a babe in our room or theirs. At times it was hard to tell which one was crying when they were taking naps, but we figured it out. I also have NEVER mixed up the boys' names as many times as I have Sydney's and Renae's. TERRIBLE!!! Got to be kinda a joke though, cause all of us were doing it. ha

SO. below for your viewing pleasure is just a snipit of our fun, as we took well over 600 pictures/videos of the action. (many have since been deleted by Ry) Maybe we were a bit crazy with the cam, but when your kids are cute.... =) This slideshow is looooooong, enjoy!

Martha-

Did you know I read your blog? I have it on my google reader and always look forward to your stories and pictures. It is such a blessing to witness how much you enjoy being a mom and you make it look so easy! I'm sure it's not always easy, but your enthusiasm makes parenting look like fun (instead of the complaining I hear other places sometimes). Can't wait to have some of my own! Thanks for being so awesome!
