Attempt to recapture the past two weeks



Chapter One...

Okay, so let's back up to Monday, March 10.  Hillary and Jackson are coming for an awesome 10 day visit!  We are all soo excited to have them here.  However the trip starts off a little bumpy.  Hillary is running a little late for the plane, but manages to barely make it on.  Her luggage is not so lucky.  So she and Jackson arrive on time and then we have to make a second trip to the airport a few hours later to get her stuff.  The luggage is running a little late and she gets in the car with her stuff with ten minutes to spare before Mia gets out of school.  We make a mad dash out of the airport to Mia's school where Mia is ecstatic to see Hillary and Jackson.In the car Lennon is freaked out by the shrieks of joy Jackson is emitting and at the house he is suddenly drawn to anything Jackson has in his hands.  Is this a glimpse of things to come?  Mia loves giving Jackson a bottle on the couch and they catch up on their cuddles.   We then have about a one hour turn around before heading back out the door to ice skating lessons.  Mia was really excited to show Hillary all that she had learned.  Although Hillary was not to keen on the freezing temperature at which the rink is kept.  Still, she was a trooper and watched the whole lesson.  I got super dizzy while there and almost couldn't drive us home.  When we got home we made Mia dinner ordered wings for ourselves and put all the kids to bed.   Ahhhh...finally we took a breath and relaxed.  If only we had known what laid in store for us we might have taken more than one.
