GIRLS WEEKEND

AA and I had our first girls weekend (and we barely spent any money!). With news of my dear friend N's new baby, AA and I hopped on a jet plane (or something like that!) to Washington DC. AA was a rockstar on her first flight ever! She slept during takeoff and landing ... but was wide awake for the entire duration of the flight. Never shedding one tear, this gal cooed and smiled like I've never seen before!
We were so excited to visit N and her new baby boy, Thatcher, in the hospital. AA and Thatcher are exactly 7 weeks apart. (As a reminder, their big brothers EJ and JP are only 10 days apart ... )

It's amazing how much these new little ones resemble their big brothers!
I am overjoyed to be sharing this "second time around" experience with N. Despite the miles between us, not a week goes by without numerous phone conversations regarding raising our kids!
Conveniently, Washington DC is also the place where A's sister lives. We stayed with her for the weekend. AA loved meeting her cousin K
and cousin B (even if they weren't willing to change her diaper!).
She was spoiled by Aunt M.
We had a great flight home yesterday. I was so happy to see JP when A picked us up from the airport (the longest I've been apart from him). I'm told that the boys had a good weekend of their own ... one that involved a boat show and Grandpa J's own tractor.
We ended our weekend by joining up as a family and visiting L and J in the cities. Even with the chaos involved with four young kids, we had a wonderful time! JP loved playing with Estee's and Evelyn's toys ...
even if that meant putting up with some girl germs!
