Babysitting

Since we are  responsible adults, and I'm a nurse for goodness sake, we often get the chance to babysit. Babysitting is so much fun for us and it lets us "practice" being parents for a little while. We had an opportunity like that this weekend when we babysat our four sweet nieces. We love to see them, but babysitting them is especially fun.
We did dinner, went to the park, and watched a movie with the older girls. We thought we had navigated bedtime quite well until 8pm when the older girls went to bed and we found  our younger niece curled up in a blanket in the hallway watching the movie. I guess we have more to learn. :)
We had a great time and we are so blessed to have some family close by.

Family Reunion

We just returned from a week-long trip to Utah. We had so much fun and were blessed to see many friends and family. Annie's family had a family reunion and the new baby of the family was held nearly the whole time. Families are so wonderful and such a blessing. After time together, we remember just how blessed we are to have people in our lives that we care about so much.
