We're back! Lucy, Violet and I flew to Boston for a visit! Yes, you read that right, I took the girls myself, what an airplane adventure! Actually, it was a lot of stuff to haul, but the girls did great on the flight, Lucy was hilarious yelling out to the entire plane, "We're flying!"
Gosh, there is so much to say, I don't know where to begin. We got to watch Jonas' soccer game, he did awesome and Jack taught Lucy how to kick a soccer ball. Lucy got to go to church school with cousin Joey, it was adorable to see Joey(4) watching out for his cousin Lucy. One day we took all six kids to a Lego convention, which led us to drink a lot of wine that night after all six were in bed, LOL. We went to American Girl for shopping and lunch. It was amazing, Lucy now has her Just Like You, "Dolly." Joey was a trooper in the doll store, he even got an American Girl puppy, "Honey Puppy." It was hilarious when they brought out a boy doll, so Joey could have a doll at lunch too. It was even more funny to see how much Joey looked like the doll(see picture below.) Don't worry, we didn't come home with Joey's look alike, but we did come home with practically everything for Jana and Lucy....I think Julie and I enjoyed the shopping just as much. We got to relax at home a lot and have our silly mommy/sister moments after bedtime. Uncle John was busy a lot, but he did get some Violet snuggle time, he is such a softy for babies! Violet loved meeting her cousins and they LOVED her...holding her, kissing her, it was so. Thanks a zillion Boston family, we already miss you!

Hubbies had a wager on the game, so we thought we'd dress for the occasion...
