Caleb meets the Yinglings!

I must say...I'm more than disappointed in my lack of entries since my last post! I think this is the longest break I've ever taken! It seems like I have no free time whatsoever! Kristin and I were finished with Kindergarten the day before my parents arrived, so I'm finding it hard to believe I don't have any extra time! My parents were here for about 10 days before we headed out to California for our annual Disney trip (this is only our 2nd so far), so that explains some of the delay, but other than that - I don't know what to say! I've been busy with the usual - feeding, changing, feeding, burping, changing, bathing, chauffeuring, reconciling arguments between the girls, grocery shopping, cleaning and going to the gym. It's nothing new, so I can't figure out what the heck is going on!! Oh well. No use whining about it!! :)

The night of my last blog entry, my parents, Grandma and nephew arrived!! It was a lovely visit full of cackling, shopping, eating out (mostly) and watching movies. Their visit seemed very short. Usually they stay for about 3 weeks, but this time they could only stay for 10 since they wanted to accompany us on our trip to Disneyland. Of course they could have turned back around and followed us home to stay a little longer, but I guess there was some issue of gas and money... ;) Sniff sniff. I hate that we live so far away from our families!! Okay - so here are some pictures of their visit. I am SO seriously behind that I don't have time to go into any elaborations...as I'm known to do. I know I always say that - and then end up writing way too much anyways, but I really really can't! I've gone over the 2 month mark - this is ridiculous!!!!! I'm out of control!! ;)

The time went by so fast - I really don't have a lot to show for my parents visit!! But stay tuned...they followed us to Disneyland, so we got another 5 days to visit with them outside the house. Okay there's no time for rambling - I'm moving onto the next post...Disneyland!!!
