Visitors

We just finished a wonderful week of having Matt (Eric's brother), Camie, Lydia, and Clayton with us. It is so nice to have family around. I think this visit gave us the boost of energy that we needed to make it through the last little big of winter.



Annie and Lydia

We were able to do a few fun things, but the best part was just hanging out. The kids loved playing, especially Annie and Lydia. They definately come from the same cookie cutter in looks and likes. They had such a fun time playing babies, barbies, princesses in a world of make believe. It really was fun to watch. Cameron and Clayton loved playing ready, set, go and running across the room and following the girls around.



DAY IN PALMYRA

Early in the week it had said that all of the rest of the week that Matt and Camie were going to be here was going to be 20 degrees and snowy, but it changed for Thursday and was sunny and 40's. It was the perfect March day to be in Palmyra. We got to see and do everything that we wanted to.





We learned how the Book of Mormon was printed and put together. The kids really enjoyed this part!

Annie and Lydia look so much alike. I think we should throw Ravi in there with his blonde curls and they'll all look the same.
