Autumn, Ada, & Isla Come for a Visit

My bestest pal from high school, Autumn, and her two little girls came for a visit in July. It was simply incredible to have that time with her, Ada, and Isla. I didn't get many pictures because lately I have been seriously slacking in the whole picture taking thing. We were additionally blessed to have Autumn's parents, or as I call them Mama and Papa Gum come over for brunch on Saturday 7/11.

Autumn made an incredible journey from CA to Michigan to visit Michael (her hubby)'s family for a week or two, then flew in to NJ to spend a few days with us and then she was off to spend a few weeks with her folks in S. Jersey. And all of this while she was 20+ weeks pregnant with her third child! Girl, I give you the "Super Traveler Crazy No Fear of Flying on an Airplane for 5 Hours By Yourself with Two Kids While Pregnant Mom Award."


Autumn - All of us were blessed by your effort. Thank You! I cannot wait till the next time.

Heee heee! Thank you thank you! LOL! Well when you put it like that it does sound like quite the feat. The secret is to be in denial and not to think about the daunting task until the day of. Then, in the midst of taking two girls, plus your preggo tum into the airplane bathroom just repeat over and over (Tomorrow, this will just be a memory! This too shall pass!)

Every inconvenience of traveling was worth it to spend those precious days with you guys! I wouldn't trade it for the world! Thank you for being so amazing! I love you guys!!!
