We're back!

It's been nearly a month since we last blogged...first because there was nothing to say, then because we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Here are some shots from our trip to America for Kris' brother's wedding.

Time with the K's

Despite the busyness of the wedding, we did get to spend time with Kris' family. Here are some shots of the kids with Grandma and Grandpa and with their Great Grandmas.

The wedding and baptism

Here are a few pics from K & E's wedding, along with a picture of our niece/godchild who was baptized the next day. Ike was the ring bearer for the wedding, and Andy was "upgraded" to usher when one of the guys had to leave because of a family emergency.

Off to Grandma and Grandpa L's

After the wedding and baptism we headed north to visit with Andy's family. On the way we took a break in Fergus and Ike went sledding for the first time. He loved it and was grinning ear to ear. The next day he went with Grandpa and Dad on the tobaggon. Another fun adventure!

Check it out!

Our friends, and Elle's godparents, A&A stopped by to visit the Monday before we left. Somehow we managed to get a picture of all 5 kids (all under4 years old) sitting on the couch together!

Time with cousins

The kids got to spend a lot of time with their cousins, which was very fun for us to watch! Ike and Rayna got to be good buds, though they didn't stay still long enough for this mom to take any pictures! Elle and her newest cousin, Kathryn, also spent a lot of time together (mostly because their moms were shopping a lot). Aunt Kim, K's mom, even bought them matching pj's which they proudly wore!

Flying Home

Our flight from Chicago to Tokyo was about 13 hours. We were blessed to be on a plane that was only half full. So, just like everyone else on the flight, we spread out. Noelle even got her own seat to sleep in! Plus, the kids could play when they were awake and didn't really bother anyone.

PS-It felt so good to get home and into our own beds....now, if only we could get over this jet lag!
