Bye Bye Evan and Kristy!

It was SOO much fun having them here for a short weekend. They are a great pair of newlywed aunt and uncle and the kids loved them. We got to go out to eat to Silver Beach Pizza and walk down on the Pier the first night WITHOUT KIDS (thanks Joe and Susie)! Then Saturday was filled with just some good hangout time, a transforming haircut, garage sale prep (M), deck building (R), a tour of Magrane's new house, delicious lettuce wraps and Asian food, half of the Andy Stanley DVD series and a late night talking. Sunday was our church picnic, Evan helped adjust the sprinklers in the back yard (cause of the fence addition things had to be moved a bit), mowing, dance creating, Ryan's expert burger grillin, some water fun in the fountain downtown, the other half of the Stanley series and another REALLY late night up talking. Monday morning Ev and K and I took off for Chicago to meet Amber for a late breakfast downtown and had fun just chillin at a coffee shop enjoying the cool weather and great company. We parted ways and said good bye to the Schweitz's until August, it started to DOWNPOUR, and pretty much rained the whole way back to Mich. We had beautiful weather while Ev and Kristy were here, and now that Amber is here for a few days it's rainy. dangit. haha. Good thing she's been here enough to know it's not always like this. =) SO, it was GREAT FUN, and the boys have been asking where they went now even on the second day after they left. The video below of course was staged and they were only slightly distracted by veggie tails...haha. I will put up some pictures of our adventures here soon.



Last night we had a friend, Luke Magnusson, come from Lansing to take some family pictures for us...I'm sure he got some great action shots of the boys, but an actual 'family picture' would probably be a fluke. Gosh the boys will not sit still for anything...Ryan would say that it didn't help that we were by the water - cause they're OBSESSED, but pretty sure even if we were in our back yard it would be the same story. (ask Carissa - ha!) Just too much energy. haha. Of course we had a melt down when it was time to go, but that was kind of expected - It was our first time in the sand for the season. At any rate, Amber was here to help patrol, the boys were only an hour and a half past bedtime after getting home and taking a bath, that's not too bad right?! =) So those pictures will come along soon! Thanks Luke again for coming, it was great to catch up again and hear how life is as a college student at Moody!
