Catching up

Good evening folks,

We've been so busy making memories that I've hardly had time to write and share about them. The 4webbs definitely need a vacation from this vacation, but we're loving every minute of it here. Guess we need to start all the way back at last Saturday! Kendra went with her mom, her friend Megan, and Megan's mom along with the babies for coffee and visiting.

That left GG and I the chance to take a walk to the local Starbucks and spend some leisurely time talking and taking the chance to stop and smell the roses. I thought it was fun to see GG in her natural environment of a Starbucks and out around town where every knows her and talks to her. :)

Saturday afternoon brought Kendra's uncle Steve and his family by to say, "hello". That was the first time I had the chance to meet Gabe and Ryan ever so it was great to get to know more of Kendra's family. They brought their teacup chihuahua, named Hercules who was fully grown and about half the size of your average sewer rat. very cool dog though... can't believe i didn't get any pictures of him!

After that we went downtown for some pizza where Layla found the joys of banging silverware on the table. The babies were so well behaved we received a few compliments before leaving the restaurant from impressed patrons who noticed our happy babies. It's taken Layla many months more than Easton to find her thumb because her fists are always too clinched to get that little piggy out there to be sucked on. She's a busy bee so any moments like this must be captured quickly, which I did. Luckily i caught her in the act with her thumb in her mouth because 1 second after this picture and she was back to whapping and making noises.

At the same place I captured a great picture that shows Layla's cute outfit and her intent look as Opa holds her up!

Sunday was the busiest day i've had in months. We woke up and went for a walk to get some doughnuts. then as we were getting the babies ready for nap time Easton grabbed my hat off my head. I decided to put it on him and he got a real kick out of wearing my hat. He looks like one of the 7 dwarfs, but I'm not sure which one...

He is such a happy guy and has a funny, manly giggle. He also has the hugest behind crack of any baby Kendra and have ever seen.

I no connoisseur of cracks, but holy cow man. Have you ever seen anything like that??? He could easily go straight into the plumbing profession and fit right in! After those pictures and nap time we had a good church time with the Thomas family and we've really enjoyed them each Sunday during our visit. Then we went over to Jill's house (Kendra's cousin) where we finally caught up with Jill's family, Dustin's family, and the Burgess grandparents all in the same house! It was craziness with all those kiddos around, but a very special time because of it. That's the first time all of the Burgess' great grandchildren were under one roof. Never a dull moment, that's for sure. I thought it was hard to get TWO babies to smile at the same time for a good photo. It was darn near impossible to get SIX to behave long enough, but we managed to get a few good ones.

All boys and one girl, our lovely Layla. I'm sure it'll be easier to take a good picture in December when we come back because all of them should be able to sit up on their own with pillow propping...

Here's Landon (Dustin's boy who is 7 weeks younger than our babies) and Easton as they laid on the blanket together. Landon's a good looking kid and he's huge! He didn't even fit in our bumbo without cutting off circulation to his toes... no joking...

I've got a few more pictures to go along with the rest of our Sunday, but I'm just too tired to do it justice so i'll say goodnight for now and finish posting the marathon Sunday of fun tomorrow!

bye bye
