Smushed: Kristy's Visit

My sister Kristy and her kiddos came for a visit over spring break. We had so much fun with them. Her husband Scott came for the first few days of her trip. We had Kristy and Scott and Scott's parents and brother and sister-in-law and their kids and of course my mom, Sam and Lauren over to our house for dinner. The dinner which my mother so graciously provided. The above picture is Kristy and Baron and my mom Kay. Below is Scott's family, Sue, Cheryl, Scott, Dennis and Dan.
Of course we got our Rock On

One of the days Kristy was here, we took the kids downtown to see the sights. While there, I drove my van, with the luggage carrier attached, into a parking garage. That was a great experience. The below picture was taken at the Beehive House.

It was very, very sad to see them leave. The last day with them I got very emotional. You see, Kristy and Scott are about to pack their little clan up and move clear across to the whole other side of the world for 2 years. When we were about to part ways the day before she left, it really hit me that this was going to be the last time I would see them in a long time. I'm starting to get emotional now. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if Kristy would join Facebook or update her blog every now and then (HINT, HINT). The thing that made me the most sad was watching Aubrey and Tia together. They are only a few weeks apart in age. They were so cute together the whole time Tia was here. They held hands and whispered to each other and giggled. They were the best of friends. It makes me sad to think how much older and different they will both be the next time they are together.
