Playdates

We've done a lot of fun outings the last little bit - I just haven't had the time to post about them. A while ago we went up to Jenn's house and had lunch, played, and went on a walk to see the baby sheep. The kids fed the sheep and some ducks.

We also all met up at the Children's Museum one day too. It was extremely crowded so we didn't stick around too long. But it was so much fun to spend time together. The girls had a blast together - as always. I sure love getting together with my sisters.
Brad & Heather came into town a while back so we got to see a lot of Ella. While they were house hunting in Albuquerque, Gma & Gpa Holbrook met us at the park so Emily and Ella could play. We had pizza and played soccer. I love the video of the girls seeing each other for the first time in a long time.

Then for FHE a couple of days later we had a scavenger hunt that ended at Gma & Gpa Holbrook's house. Emily got to see Ella and Maggie and play around for a bit. We also had yummy ice cream before heading home to bed.
The next couple of days Ella came to preschool with us. I co-oped so while Gma Holbrook watched Jacob and Maggie, I took Ella and Emily to preschool. The girls loved it. Then the following Thursday we had a field trip to the Children's Museum and Heather and Ella joined us. These girls sure love each other and have a lot of fun.
Before leaving town Maggie had her 1st birthday!
With Ella back in Virginia we started playing with the Newman cousins again. We got together on Cinco de Mayo for some yummy cafe rio. The kids ran around outside in the warm weather for a long time. Emily, to no one's surprise, became the ring leader and put the other three in jail. What was surprising was that all three totally listend and didn't everything she told them to.
They all sure love aunt Lisa!

Cousins are the best! Emily has great soccer form. She'll be awesome when she starts playing.

Sounds and looks like a ton of fun! I miss you and hearing about things. You're a great example to me.
