We're Back

and have been back since Wednesday, July 5th. We have been busy getting upacked from the move and decorating. It is coming together.

We had a terrific time in St. Louis. It was great to visit, let the boys destroy Chris and Melissa's home and see St. Louis. This is how it went:
1. Arrived late Thursday night. Cullen liked flying. He rode in the window seat.
2. Friday morning we rested a little bit and kept Matthew with us. We went for a walk in the neighborhood and waited on the workers to return. At noon everyone started coming home, and it was time for P.F. Chang's for lunch. It was good, but it was not a good time to go. It was naptime for the little ones. Matthew was very good, but Cullen was that child during the entire lunch! Melissa and I took the two year olds home while Chris and Brent stayed to clear up the check. Outings are never the same when you have a child...
3.On, Saturday we went ot the Zoo. It is huge, and we only saw a small portion of it. Again, due to naptime for two individuals. I say two individuals. It is Cullen who needs the nap. If he doesn't get one everyone knows about it. I did age 10 years on this day while we were in the reptile house. Matthew decided to leap the fence which kept the caimen in. It does not hold two year olds out. Chris and Brent went to a baseball game later that evening.
4. Church on Sunday, grocerry store and kids played.
5. Monday we went to the city Museum. It was fun. Kids young and old had a great time. Uncle Chris fit through mazes noone else could.
6. On the 4th Meme and Poppy came to town. We cooked out, went to the mall and kids played. Meme and Poppy watched the kids so we could go to dinner. It was a nice treat! Yes, all three of them...

The kids are great together. Brandon was a real tropper through it all. When there are two, two year olds in the house there is not much time for anything else.

Thanks Chris and Melissa, for letting us come and invade your space! We really enjoyed it!
