Happy moments

We have surely been having happy moments in our family lately. Nana has been staying with us since Christmas and we really enjoy having her here. She has been here so much in the last 7 months that it feels normal to have her here. We have been taking small shopping trips, dancing, exercising, moving Sarah, eating, baking, reading, sleeping etc. It has been a lot of fun. We are going to miss her when she leaves in ONE WEEK! :(

Also our new family of 5 took a trip to NC this last weekend for the blessings of Ben and Cooper. It was Laurie's first trip, although I forgot to take pictures of her traveling! She did really well on the 3 hour drive. On the way there she slept the whole time. We had a great time watching snow fall and then were a bit disappointed when they canceled church for safety reasons and the boys weren't able to get blessed. Unfortunately now we might miss it! :( BUT we did have a great time with the family. Miriam, Elaine and Logan tried to have a little slumber party on Sunday night (Mon was a holiday) and they were playing so much we finally had to separate them. After all, they needed their sleep!! We played fun games and laughed a lot. Our drive home was fine as well. Laurie slept most of the time, but it took longer to get home because of the attached trailer we were bringing home. The chain was dragging and someone drove up along side us at 60mph to tell us, THANK YOU! We stopped at a little cafe to get some food cause Miriam was STARVING!, and so was Laurie :).
Anyway, we came home to a clean, laundry done house because Nana cleaned it for us! Thank you!! It took about 2 hours for us to destroy what she had done though! Sorry!
Well those are a few happy moments we have had. There have been many more and I am sure will still be more to come! I love my family!!
