It
was very hard to leave our kids while we were in Costa Rica. But they were in good hands with Mom, Dad and Karissa. The kids spent most of their time in Indiana. Toward the end, Leonard and Twila were passing through and stopped and picked up the kids for the last few days. We were so grateful for grandparents and an auntie to leave them with. The boys were excited and Lydia just never knew what was coming. From what we hear, they did really well. I'm sure it helped Lydia lots and lots to have her big brothers with her the whole time.
We were apart for 11 nights! Too long! But as you can see by the following photos provided by Grandma, the kids had a great time! (Notice she didn't include the photos of the coffees drunk and ice cream consumed, nor are there any photos of the clock at bedtime... :) )
We could hardly wait to get our hands on our kids when we got back. So excited to see them! The boys were ready to see us too. I wasn't sure what Lydia would do. She got a huge smile, but seemed to be in a bit of a trance. She just quietly let us hold her and she looked oh so happy, but didn't really seem to know why. If I could have read her mind, I would have heard, "I feel so happy... Something feels so right..." It did feel so right. I love my kids!

I love how the teeniest little person gets the wheel of the go-cart! She looks like she's ready for that responsibility too. yikes!
We sure had a lot of fun with your kids.
And we got to see them one Sunday. That was great! You have beautiful children and it looked like they were having a blast. It's hard to be away for 11 days eh? =)
