Whirlwind Week
On Friday, after the wedding dinner, Ken and I headed north. We stayed in Kristen and Jared's apartment, then drove up to SL to pick up Michelle on Saturday morning. We said goodbye to Brian and his dad who drove the truck to DC. We brought Michelle and Gabbi home with us for the weekend, arriving in time for Tiffani and Rick's reception on Saturday night. Kristen and Jared joined us on Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday, we celebrated Nathan's 2nd birthday. Kristen and Jared are cake designers extroidinair. They need to get on Ace of Cakes or something. They planned and drew and designed and made the cutest tractor "cake" in the world. They actually made it from rice krispie treats, so it even tasted good, too. It was fun to celebrate little Nathan's two years of life. Tuesday evening, Michelle, Gabriella, and I took the red-eye flight to DC. Gabbi did great. It was fun to cuddle her on our chests all night long. Brian picked us up the next morning and then the fun began. When we walked in their new apt, you could hardly make your way around for the boxes. To see the transformation, see their blog. We unpacked boxes and sorted and cleaned and made a million decisions. We did laundry, cooked, ate and enjoyed little Gabbi. It was a fun few days. I flew home on Saturday, arriving early Sunday morning.

SOOOO many fun pictures. But I think my favorite is Gabbi smiling. That is truly precious. Thanks for hosting all of us at such a busy time. SUCH awesome grandparents!
Oh, and I actually got some blogging done, if you want to check it out.
Cute pics!! Looks like a fun week despite the busy-ness.:) You guys have such a fun family!!
I forgot to mention: we gave Nathan that little train set. He opened it, immediately started putting it together without any direction and then ran the train around it again and again- no help from anyone. Little boys seem to just come knowing this stuff.
You did have a whirlwind week and that cake is amazing. I'm glad you felt up to going out to DC and helping move them in! What a great Mom/Grandma.
FUN times! Thanks for all of the awesome pictures, and for making our move possible. I love the one of the three grand-kids.
Yes . . . the fact that Nathan just knew how to do that without any help IS pretty impressive
I love all those pictures! The saying goodbye ones made me cry. The one with Brielle adoring Gabbi is so precious. There'll be another baby for her to adore soon, I can't wait. And that tractor cake is absolutely incredible. You guys are some incredible parents/grandparents, doing all that traveling and helping. Great work!
