Trip to Washington

Good deal on plane ticket + upcoming birthday = good excuse for a vacation!
I don't visit my parents very often, and when I do it's usually a big family get-together. So it was nice this time to be the only ones visiting and be able to just bum around the house with them. We didn't go sightseeing. We didn't stuff a bunch of activities into the day. We just played with babies and kids, made some food together, and watched movies. (We watched the whole Cranford series.)
My mom watches my sister's youngest girl everyday so we got to see a lot of Natalie during our visit. Will just adores her! He was always trying to eat her arm, or make squawking noises like her. Too bad he can't follow her around yet. I'm surprised he didn't start crawling just for her:)

Here they are playing ponies together. Those were my little ponies once...

Here's some shots from my mom's birthday party. I made this strawberry cake from scratch! It was surprisingly very filling.

Proof that my dad did hold Will during our visit. He even volunteered to entertain Will during his first sleepless night there. I guess it was a sleepless night for all of us. Luckily after that he slept better than he usually does at home.

I might have to post a group photo later since my camera missed Hailey and Chris this time.

Hmmm, I see a strawberry cake in my future now that I know you can make one from scratch! Glad you had a fun visit with the padres and Will did some bonding with the GPs and cousins. I need to see him soon so I can kiss those pudgy cheeks with wild abandon once more!

Sounds like wonderful family time!

I can't believe that you were here in WA and we didn't get to see you and your big baby boy! (Kyle told me that he misses his friend Will.) I'm glad that you had a fun trip and I hope that we can see you next time you come up.
