Happy Birthday, MawMaw

This past weekend we headed to Missouri to spend some time with our family there and to celebrate MawMaw's birthday. Unfortunately, MawMaw came down with laryngitis the night before we got there, and her voice didn't really come back until the day we left. So, she really wasn't able to talk to the boys as much as she or they wanted to. But we were all able to enjoy ourselves and have a great time just being together. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from our fun weekend:

Even though she didn't feel great, MawMaw still found time and energy to stuff Easter Eggs for a little hunt. It was rainy and cold that day, so while the boys took naps, Michael hid the eggs inside the house. Poor Dressie: it's just torture for a 6 year old to see where all the eggs are hidden, but have to wait until the twins woke up from naptime to find them all. She's such a good sport, and so very sweet to her little buddies. One of the highlights of the trip was letting the boys go inside to her "big girl school" with Aunt Chelle to pick her up on Friday afternoon. Her whole class knows them (from how much she talks about them) and they all got to say hello and wave to the babies. Then, Dressie held Ben's hand on one side and Drew's hand on her other side and led them and the whole kindergarten down the hall. All three of them were just beaming and so proud of themselves.

We had such a good time! Happy Birthday, MawMaw! We love you and wish you many many more.

I love the new pics! The boys look like they had a good time visiting fam and hunting eggs! I love their shirts.

My computer crashed on Saturday and I just got a new hard drive. I've lost all my contacts. Can you email me so that I have your email address again? Also, I want to know where you got the boys cute shirts?

Your boys are looking so grown up--I don't know if it's their hair or what, but they don't look like babies anymore! It looks like you all had a fun time.
