We are here! It has been a great visit so far with the following milestones:
Cole:
- made it through 6 and half hours on an airplane without completely falling apart (just partially)
- is saying "fish, cookie" and "shhhhhh"
- has eaten almost a whole watermelon rind
- has slurped lemonade off of concrete (not his lemonade by the way)
- is driving a car
- has put one toe into a swimming pool
- has discovered the lazy boy car seat in Grandpa's car is way more comfy than his own!

Lily:
- made it through 6 and a half hours on an airplane without "losing her lunch" as in flights past :)
- completed Fairy Dance Camp
- has heard the "snap, crackle, and pop" from her bowl of rice krispies cereal
- has successfully experienced the good ol' slip 'n slide for the second time
- has discovered the power of her words by telling me tonight "I wish I had a different Mommy!"
- has roasted a marshmallow to perfection in Grandma and Grandpa Roberts' back yard (then proceeded to smack Mommy in the head with the marshmallow stick leaving nice ooey gooey marshmallow in Mommy's hair)
- has watched Disney's Tarzan a total of 8 times already
This pretty much sums up how we feel about being here...and it's only been two weeks!

Glad you are having such a great time! Thanks for coming to McKay's party. I heard from others that the lemonade was especially good, so no wonder he was drinking it off the ground! I found Lily's ring and will bring it by. I hope we get to see you again before we head back east. It would be fun to get together with Tiff. I'll get in touch with you soon!
I want one of those fake fire things!! For fun! I hope we get to see more of you this summer. I know how stressful it can be being away from home. But let us know if you ever need some company!
oh, i wish we were there too! and what cute kids you have.
Amy,
Just thinking of you and hoping you are doing well being a single mom during Ryan's deployment. No doubt you are doing a great job! Hang in there!
