A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of meeting my new nephew Noah John. My bro and sis-in-law, Chris and Rubie came out for a week to visit us and they brought their 4 month old baby along with them (thankfully).
I had actually been hoping to take the kids back to Cali for a visit this winter, but several factors brought me quickly to my senses. The first being that my parents are keeping an exchange student this year, so all four of us would have been squeezed into one room, and the second and most determining is that trying to take 3 kiddos under 5 on an airplane is insane. I am sure it can be done, but it would have been at the expense of my sanity and maybe a few others too. Fortunately I thought better of it, and so Chris and Rubie and Noah decided to come to us. That meant they got to meet True, we got to meet Noah and Dave got in on the action too.
We had a sweet week of visiting and catching up, as it had been a year and a half since we had last seen each other. The girls love their Uncle Chris and Auntie Rubie, and of course baby Noah was a super star! While they were here we also took them to the Aquarium, to the Botanical Gardens and to Stone Mountain. We also fit in a wonderful dinner out at our fav restaurant with only adults...thanks Lrod for babysitting!
The girls were super sad when they left, and Annelise asked why they can't live with us anymore. And they have both gone back into our guest room and talked about how it smells like Uncle Chris and Auntie Rubie. Sweet. We miss them tons, but are hoping to meet up with them again in NYC next summer.
