Return and rest

Before we started our string of trips, Heilmann's and my girls and I went over to my bestest friend, Nancy's house for a game/dessert night. Our kids played like crazies and we played Rock Band! It was so much fun!!!!! We hope to do it again before I leave! :)
Last weekend we were in the Tri-Cities area to visit GG and Manda and Michael. I was so grateful to be able to see GG and her place there and to talk with her so much. She is wonderful and I love her! The weather there was also awesome! (it has just been beautiful no matter where we went here, I was right about WA summers being the best EVER!) I also took the opportunity while I was there to visit with my cutie roommates from Ricks, Brooke and Hillary! They are so fun and it was good to see them again. Brooke is expecting her 4th, I believe and Hillary has 2 boys.
Monday I got to 'play' with my group of best friends from Elementary, middle and high school, Megan (getting married in Oct), Marci (moving back to Vancouver), Stacey (just had a baby girl), and Jen (expecting a boy in Aug)! The only one missing was Melanie who lives in WI and just had a baby boy. We ate pizza and played fun games together and it was great! I wish we could do it more! :(
Tues we left to go to Tillamook, Astoria, Seaside, and Long Beach this week and had a great time. We didn't spend quite as much time on the beach as we would have liked. We chose to do other things and then the day we set aside to be at the beach it was cold and windy! :( But over all the weather was great! I will have to do a mass post later of all the pictures from our trip.
Sorry. But we are back and resting until Wed when we leave to go home. I am sad to leave but we are having a great trip and we miss Daddy a LOT! Laurie is getting even better about crawling, she is almost there! The cousins are getting along well and I am enjoying seeing friends and being with family.
I feel blessed to have been able to come here and spend so much time. I wish I could be back for Megan's wedding but I am just not sure if that is possible! I have missed all their weddings so far! :( That is what happens when you move away and no one else does! WAAAAA Anyway, until next time :).
