Lansing here we come!

Change of plans today....Ryan had a CE course in Grand Rapids, it's been on the schedule for a while now and I was planning on meeting my girlfriend Kara and her two kids up there for a good chunk of the day to hangout and catch up. As the day came closer though, weather and teething children and the risk of being somewhere with no where to retreat all caused our change of plans. We decided to just drive to Lansing to see them and hangout at her house with snacks and toys and movies and a park down the road. Just a better idea all around. Only got a few pictures in though, as usual....dang.

here we are all ready for the park!!


Look at this little muffin. Kyler turned 1 in Feb!! what a little mini!!

tearin up the park......



a trip to their delicious restaurant....only eating picture- obviously meal time is busy. ha. AHHH he's so cute!!

and then a quick hangout back at their house before getting back on the road


And for the ride home, this teething beauty had a heck of a time falling asleep. We left a bit after nap time, but she slept almost the whole way there in the morning. She's been eating practically nothing the last few days, had nothing for lunch....poor lil lady. And while I was driving I put the camera over my shoulder and took these next few of her misery.






Can you tell its her teeth!?! HA! not that it's funny, but the pictures are kinda funny. It must be painful, good thing we all go thru this when we're little and don't remember it. =) Then she finds her blanky and paci....

and OUT COLD. these pictures were all in like a 4 minute time span. hahaa

only she didn't sleep very well cause she kept waking up to cough....then she cried for the last like 45 minutes. SO, I put her to bed at 5 when we got home and she's still sleeping!! Guess she's not gonna eat dinner either today!! we shall see if I wake up tonight at 2 with a wide awake baby. =) I do like all the hugs she's in the mood for now though. And last night she fell asleep during dinner on Ryan's chest, so we're tryin to save up those moments for when she's better and running away from us again. haa! Anyhoo, aside from teeth, it's always great seeing Kara and her boys...we were dreaming of the day when we can actually go to the park and sit on a bench and talk...and parent from the bench. hahahaa!! soon enough im sure!
