Back from the East Coast

Hi everyone. No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Sorry it's been so long since my last blogging.

Audrey and I just got home on Tuesday from a two week trip to Virginia to visit with Jess and the family. We had a great time, though the first week was a very hard week for Lizzie and the second week Audrey, Jake, I, Sam, Jess and Gabe all got bad colds. Lizzie ended up in the Hospital last Sunday and was there for five days. I'm glad that I was there to watch the boys for a couple of days while Jess was at the hospital with Liz. Though there was a lot of sickness we had such a blessed time with everyone.

Some of the highlights were, Audrey had her first plane trip (which was where we got sick) and she did pretty well for 7 and a half hours in a plane. We were there for Gabriel's baptism which was very special. We tried to go to North Carolina to go to the beach, but with all of the sickness we decided not to go, so we went to Lake Anna which was a lot of fun. Audrey hates sand, so she sat under the umbrella all afternoon and ate chips, crackers and peanut butter and cookies. It was so funny. She did like the water a lot but afterwards was very content to sit in her chair. Jess and I were able to go to the National Museum of the Marine Corps. We spent a little over a hour there and I could have spent a couple of more hours. It was amazing. I want to go back and take Lucas with us. He would love it.
As soon as I get my film developed I'll post some pictures of the trip.
