Yesterday we met the Altrees at the pumpkin patch. Greg's back was hurting and I was exhausted after a crazy week at work, but all of the pain and frustration vanished when we got to watch the magic induced by corn mazes, hay rides, potato sack slides and friends we love.
This weekend Campbell had her second birthday complete with cake, ice cream, skinned knees, and melt downs. At two years old, these girls couldn't adore each other more. Listening to their conversations in the back seat as I drive them home from Beth's both entertains and amazes! They are getting so big . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAMPBELL!
This Sunday I got an hour or so of alone time and decided to spend it doing something I haven't done in way too long. . . 
My parents came to visit on Friday night, and on Saturday we got a surprise visit from my brother's family. Even the Altree clan joined us for pizza and wine. We had such a great time . . . it makes us wonder why we don't live closer. But then again, maybe if we did these times with family wouldn't be nearly as special. Gracie sure does love "Nama, Buck, Ankle Nothin', Emmie, Mafferew, Baby Laura, and Auntie Tricia!"
