Today was such an amazing day! It started with a visit from Molly and little Walt. We decided to walk the kids up to get lunch. It wasn't exactly sunny outside but it wasn't raining either so we figured we were fine. We walked to this sandwich shop that is near our house...maybe a half a mile from our place. About halfway there we started to feel raindrops so we picked up the pace. Once inside and about to order the sky absolutely opened up. It was a virtual monsoon. It didn't let up and since we had not just one baby but 3 (that means 2 huge strollers) we knew we would never find anyone who would offer us a ride home. So...we laughed harder than either of us have laughed in ages and got absolutely drenched walking the kids back home. The kids were sheltered but we were not...my sandals are ruined and they dyed my feet brown (which I have yet to be able to get out!) but it was hysterical and something we'll remember for a long time (and something that Molly and I figured would only happen to us!). I only wish we'd gotten a picture of what Molly and I looked like once we got home...like we'd taken a shower with our clothes on!
As if that weren't excitement enough...we were visited by our other amazing friend "Aunt" Reenie! She brought the girls some adorable hats that they'll be able to wear in the Charleston sun. We love our Reenie and are so glad that she came over today too.
Finally....something we've been waiting 11 weeks for....the girls got to meet their cousins Grace and Greta and their Aunt Kylie and Uncle Matt who came to visit from Seattle!!!!! It was so amazing to see them because we haven't seen them since Christmas. The girls were absolutely incredible with Reagan and Riley. They rocked them, read to them and helped me to put them to bed (Matt was on his way back from NY) and it was a HUGE help. We're so excited that they are here for the next week while we still are and we'll get to spend a lot of time with them. I can't believe how grown up Grace and Greta seem just since December...it really is true that kids grow up way too fast! I love them to pieces and am so lucky to be their aunt...I just wish we saw them more!
We only have 1 week left here in Cleveland and I'm getting sad about that. Each day I am saying goodbye to different amazing people that we won't see again for awhile and it really makes me realize just how lucky we are and how blessed I've been to live in such a great place for so long and to make so many wonderful and lifelong friends. Lots more goodbyes in the next week which will keep us busy and be hard...but we have a lot to look forward to in Charleston too, so we won't spend our time being sad we just will look forward to our next visit back here and all of the visits that we know our friends and family will make to see us down SOUTH!
