Visit from Becky

Today we are in recovery mode. Lots of laying around, TV and napping. Becky left yesterday and Beckett has a little cold today-so we are spending a quiet day at home.

Last night after Becky left Alma said "Isn't it nice we live with just our family?" and "Two kids and two parents is just right but four kids and four parents is a mess." This isn't to imply that Alma disliked having Becky and Nick here, just after a four days in a house with four children under the age of three you need a little space. In fact, one of the great things about my life is how much Alma and Becky get along now. She gets his humor- and he likes her brains. Nick fits in well too. It is just great to hang out. I like having someone around when Alma starts to spout off about some absurd theory or other- just so I can look over at Becky and give her that look that says see what a crazy I live with. And then Becky keeps debating Alma- humbles him a little (okay nothing really humbles him but at least he is reminded I am not the only one to find his logic lacking, well logic).

So here are some pictures of the fun time together. Susie's kids were here this week so there is a little of every one. They are in no particular order and cover park, sledding, and Beckett pulling himself up to stand for the first time, yeah! There are tons of pictures- for those of you who care.

I LOVED the pictures! It is amazing to think that we all have children of our own now - I can hardly handle the thought of us being grown-ups! How many children does Suzie have? And how old are they?
