Twin Tuesday

While we were living it up in California, the twins were living it up in Yorktown at the Froyen's house. The Froyens are a very special family to us, and outside of our family, they are the only people we'd leave our kids with for more than one night. My kids had more fun there than they do with me on an average day at home! Stacy's house offers- Stacy & Eric, Dean & Joel (9th and 5th grader), and Max the dog. Dog. Dog. Dog. Dog. Reese and Hayden lovingly call him Mac. That silly x sound is elusive for them.

Aside from two little colds, the kids behaved, slept great, and ate well.  They always eat better for Stacy than us! Apparently, Reese loved green olives and hummus while on vacation! Ha. Here are a few of my favorite pictures Stacy sent me. We were also able to Facetime with the kids twice a day which was so sweet. Yay for technology!

Shopping for new toys- spoiled!

Playing with new toys!

After the kids left, Stacy said they all went to Chipotle to drown their sorrows!

Love!

I love how Hayden is just lounging here.

Joy!


Visit with the Macks!


They've finally started saying Eric in the last few months & it's cute!

I missed them as any mom would, but had such a peace while gone. Eric and Stacy are kind and generous people who have blessed our lives way more than this week with the kids. We are better for knowing them, and I am thankful our kids have them in their lives. I love that Reese and Hayden have asked for Joel and Dean each day since we've  been home. I love that the kids can communicate enough with us these days to tell us they had fun at Stacy's. I love that the Froyens are our people. 

What's your favorite vacation?
