James' Last Days Home

Well, like all good things, James' trip home eventually had to come to an end.  We made the most out of the little time we had though to relax, have a good time, and let the kids play together.  They played in the hot tub and spent the night together at Nannie & Papa's house on Tuesday so they didn't waste a second of the time they had with Ethan.  Wednesday morning they all played together and wrestled with Uncle James and Grandpa.  We were all very sad when they had to all leave :(  Can't remember the last time I cried so hard.  The thought of not seeing them for another three years was breaking my heart.  Hopefully though, it will be much sooner this time!

For some reason the kids think the hot tub is their own personal pool!  Not a place to sit and relax, but for jumping, splashing and playing.

Notice how "damp" Grandpa looks here.

Really, does that move look like one that should be performed in a hot tub??  I think not ;)

Cousins.  Happy times. 
Ok, I'm going to start crying again now...

Heck with the water guns... Grandpa got out the hose!!  Go, Grandpa!

Just chillin' before bedtime.

Nona used her Grandmother's recipe and made these yummy cinnamon rolls for a snack that night!
YUM!

All the babies - all together :)

Emma and Benny - passed out.

Nate & Grace - sawing logs.

Ethan and Patrick - completely zonked.

Playing with trucks.  Look, everyone is playing nice and there is no wrestling involved at all!

Ok.... so that didn't last long.  All the kids are trying to ride James like a horse.

Oopsie - I think they killed the horse.

James with Ethan and Grace!

Go, Ethan!  Looks like he's got his dad down for the count for sure!

Ethan taking on Grandpa.

Well, I guess he didn't win that one.  Chalk that up to a bad idea ;)

Good luck, James!

Sorry, Bud - Dad could squash you like a bug if he wanted ;o)

Come back soon!!

(as in not three years from now!)
