See you soon...

Literally right at this very moment my brother, Bryan and his girlfriend, Robyn are on a plane headed back home to Ohio.

Their visits will never be long enough for us until they officially move back here to Oregon.

I miss them like crazy.

And most of you who know me, know how much I adore my brothers. So, when Bry moved out of state, it hit me hard. I was two weeks away from delivering little man at the time. I know it was not only hard on me, not having Bry there to help welcome our third kiddo, but it was hard on HIM too. He hated not being here. It has since been the case too, since littlest man arrived.

But we are grateful for the time we spent with them. We love them so much. We look forward to the time when they'll finally get a chance to move back here, to Oregon.

Until then...

I leave you with pictures of my wonderful brother and my precious kiddos, who adore their uncle just like their Mommy does. :)

Family Rafting Trip!

Since my brother, Bryan and his lovely girlfriend, Robyn are in town... We are soaking up as much time with them as possible.

So a family rafting trip was high priority on the agenda!

Little man, littlest man and I opted out this year... Littlest man is just too small and he and I are a package deal... So, next year will be our year to join the rest of our family.

But my big girls (who join Daddy quite often on rafting trips... I believe this was their 7th or 8th trip this summer so far) not only rode the bull with Uncle Bry and Uncle Kauz... But they jumped off a rock about 6' high! Yikes!!!

Jokingly, I told everyone... I'm SO PROUD of my brave girls. And my Hubby is in SO much TROUBLE! :)

But, really, I'm so impressed with my adventurous, brave little girls! They just amaze and delight our lives every single day. :)

And, my boys. I'm just eating up their cuteness and snuggling with them as much as possible. Little man wants to hold littlest man all of the time (when he's not playing trucks or football, of course) and it's so darn cute!

Here are pics from our adventures... Both here at home and there!
