Our Week in Missouri

We spent Spring Break in Missouri spending time with family and visiting friends.

On Easter we had breakfast with Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Mike then went back to their house to meet their new puppy, Maggie. We also read books and put puzzles together.

After breakfast we went back to Mimi and Papa's house for an Easter Egg hung with Brett and Will. Papa let the kids have five minutes of unlimited chocolate consumption after the hunt. No one got sick (surprisingly) and they had a great time!

After Easter I went to visit my sister in St. Louis. She and Brayden welcomed little Baby Drew a couple of days before Easter. Little Drew was quite the sweetie!

There was a bit of a situation back in Columbia (Meggie managed to gouge out Mimi's eye and tear her cornea...poor Mimi) so I went back to Columbia and helped manage the munchkins. One night we went to have Mexican then I took the kids for ice cream.

After getting Mimi all healed up I went to West Plains to visit my friend Leann and her sweet new baby, Lena. We hadn't seen each other in almost 7 years, it was so great to catch up, it was like not a day had passed. I love her so much!

After the whirlwind week we drove back to the ATL and resumed normal like. Ellie made it clear she much prefers vacation time at Mimi and Papa's house. She is looking forward to this summer when she is going to be at home with Miss Shayann and Miss Elizabeth. :-)

Ouch! Eye injuries are my big phobia! But these are some awesome pictures. My favorite is the middle one of Ellie during chocolate time: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_M5dfyVRpu8c/S9MyJ7WxvPI/AAAAAAAAHnU/XHPkib1JvAg/s1600-h/MHS_4441.e1.lr%5B3%5D.jpg The first one of Meggie reading is great, too.
