Our little family headed down to Lebanon, Missouri to visit with Chris' Grandma, Maxine. She took us out to a nice lunch and we spent some time enjoying her piano and comfy house.

On Tuesday night Miss Judi invited the Henderson/Sears/Whitney clan to go swimming in her fabulous pool.
Miss Judi and Mr. Dan were our neighbors when we were all Henderson's and lived on Truman Drive.
Blake, Brett and Papa liked the basketball goal.
The boys got really good at making baskets by jumping in from the side of the pool.
Eli is a water baby, through and through. He LOVED the water!
Ellie and Brett wore life belts since they are still learning how to swim.
Ellie really liked the Nemo pool toy.

Meggie is not as crazy about the water as Ellie was or is. After she has been swimming for about 20 minutes she is ready to get out and take a nap (or nurse, whichever).
So, here she is enjoying dry land!
Sunday night Chris, Meggie and I headed to Missouri to rendezvous with Ellie and hang out with our family for the week.
Despite being super sweet and mostly amenable Meggie was not so happy to be in the car for 12 hours.
Meggie and Daddy taking a break on the road. Here we go!
"Hey Mama, I will drive the rest of the way."
"And you can take a nap!"
Ellie was happy to see us when we she woke up Monday morning.
Yay, our family has been reunited!
Last weekend the girls and I headed back to Missouri for the baby shower of my friend Genese. We got to see my sister-in-law and Alyssa, Blake and Eli. Meggie and I got to spend a day with my sister and her boys, too. I had a great time. On Sunday we are driving to Missouri for vacation, yay vacation!
Meggie enjoying Mimi's colorful rug.
Oh no!
Mimi and Papa got an electric car for the kids to play with. Ellie loves to drive it around. Sometimes she runs into the trees.
Watch out, here she comes!
The hot tub is also the, "pool."
Watch Blake starting his flip...
And in the middle of his flip...
Blake, Alyssa and Ellie in the car together. Blake is, by far, the best driver.
Meggie got to spend some time with Grandpa Mike and Grandma Cindy. She loved it!
Will the Haus. He is so cute!
Blakey playing with Meggie.
And showing her the kaleidoscope.
A small Eli montage...
How cute is he!?!?!?
Papa and Will, they have the same eye!
Will likes to eat....a lot. He just finished a brownie.
Meggie on the plane on the flight home.
I tried to get a straight on shot but I had to keep her from crawling out of the seat and I have a manual lens. So, it was kind of tricky.
Good thing she is cute any way you get a picture!
It was great to have Grandpa Steve and Grandma Judy visit for the weekend. Ellie and Meggie loved the extra attention! After they left today Ellie kept asking, "Where is my Grandma Judy," it was very cute!
Meggie and Grandpa Steve at Taco Mac. Meggie sure loved the lemon!
Mmmm, lemmon!
Big yawn from the tired baby!
