More visitors!

Just when we thought the last of our visitors had come and gone, Lisa called and asked if she and the kids could come over for a visit. What a nice surprise! Kayleigh was still on break from school so they came Tuesday and Wednesday. It's harder for us to get together with Kayleigh in school, me not traveling, and both of us running out of rooms in our houses!

They got here right at lunch time and we pretty much sat down and ate after saying hello. Robbie had his first peanut butter sandwich. Kayleigh and Brian had honey on their sandwiches. We were going to to PB&J except we had no J and went with the honey instead. Robbie loves being with his older cousins and it's fun to watch them together.

The kids had fun checking out Alex's crib.



For dinner I made Mexican Lasagna. Matt doesn't like it because of the ricotta cheese, so I don't make it just for myself. Matt and the kids had quesedillas, so everyone was happy. The kids had some time to play after dinner before getting a bath and going to bed. Kayleigh did great sleeping in our new guest "bedroom".

Wednesday morning we headed to the mall to play in the play area. It was probably the coldest day so far, so we weren't planning on doing anything outside. Several of my friends had the same idea, so I knew other moms and kids that were there. While there were a lot of kids I wouldn't say that it was overly crowded. The nice thing is that all of the moms watch out for all of the kids. Unfortunately there was only one slide and it seemed like either several kids wanted on it or no one wanted on it. I guess that's just how it goes. Robbie did try to escape a couple of times, but didn't get too far!

and down the slide



Robbie liked this car, but it was pretty slippery (or maybe it was his socks). Those legs next to him belong to Kayleigh.



The play area is conveniently located right next to the train station. Lisa and I had talked about the possibility of us taking the kids for a ride and the deal was sealed when the conductor said that parents could ride for free. It was pretty tight with all of us and all of our stuff, but we enjoyed the ride. Kayleigh was surprised to see cars inside of the mall. We decided that they either belong to some of the workers or they need fixed.

Robbie didn't care to have his picture taken.



Lisa and the kids left after lunch. It's sad to say that we don't know when we'll see them again, but hopefully they'll be back over after Alex is born. I'm not sure where we'll stick Erik if he decides to come with them next time! :)

Mom asked us to get a picture of the 3 cousins together. This was as good as we could get!
