Cousin Week

We just had our cousins here for a whole week and it was so much fun! Micah enjoyed having Liam and Caleb as his older brother/best friends all to himself. It was like they were never apart and started right where they left off. They were so cute how they played all week and Noelle loved every second of it too. So much so that she never wanted to sleep or take a nap. We did so much and it went by so fast. I got to have my sister by my side every day as well which made life so much fun and better.

First I took them to the Arboretum on Monday to the Children's area and it was a blast. Lots of learning about energy with water, sun, and wind. Then splash pads and we even found a real snail. That was so exciting for some reason.
Tuesday we went to the zoo and did everything there. Got to see some big iguanas and I realized I saw the same ones on my cruise. Then I looked at the sign and I was right, they are from the Cayman Islands. We stayed home Monday and Tuesday night and then Wednesday we went to the pool and I had my 2nd interview for the church job on Wednesday at 4 p.m. then hosting a book club for church at 6p.m. It was a busy late afternoon, but all went smooth. I was so happy to have Rachel at one of my women's ministry events. She enjoyed the book and talking about friendships.
Thursday we went to the trampoline park and Rachel and I reminisced about having our own trampoline in the back yard. We tried to do some tricks we did younger... it was so fun to jump around and see the kids have so much fun. After jumping we got burgers at Micah's favorite spot with a playground. We tried to wear them out because we were going out that night for a girls night. Our original plan was to get tattoos, but we both didn't have a solid plan yet. So pedi and manicures were on our next plan and then sushi! We got to have dinner with a couple of my close friends and made it so special for me.
Rachel and I really had a great time bonding and we really needed it. It has been too long since we had sleepovers with one another where we could really talk about life and love.

Friday was splash pad and pool day. Longest day of water ever!! I can't believe Noelle could keep up with everything. She just kept going and never complained. She loved hanging all over her new "brothers." Friday night we made tacos and stayed in to catch up. Rachel and I watched a few episodes of friends during the week and the last night we watched the season finale. It was fun to watch that one again on our last night.

I should be hearing back this week on the job and I will let you all know. I'm excited about my future for starting work, but also haven't let go of having another baby just yet. That's on hold right now, but I am still praying for a sister for Noelle one day!!

Enjoy the pics!
