A Quick Visit from Auntie

In her transit from one adventure to another, we were graced with the presence of the lovely 'Auntie'. Remarkably, we had more than 2 days with her...and it was so wonderful to have her home with us for a while.
For those of you who don't know, she is now in Costa Rica for her semester abroad...but we have been promised a visit over winter break. She checks in now and again via email and IM...so if you are looking for her, you can find her that way.
A couple of days before she left she came out to our house so that M and I could go on a real live date. This also allowed her and the kidlets to have some alone time. The schedule went something like this:

1.) Trampoline
2.) Make special dinner

3.) Make even special-er dessert (Brownies with frosting)

4.) Dance Party (complete with costumes)

We miss you Auntie and relive that crazy night over and over again. This usually involves turning up the music REALLY loud while the children hurl themselves in circles on the floor...
they are practicing their 'breakdancing' for when you come back to Tejas to hang out and teach them some moves.

By the way, the reason Liam is curiously missing from most of these pictures (except ninja dance mania picture on the left) is because he was the photog for the others. I am always impressed at the spontanaity of the pictures that he takes. Nevermind that he wasn't supposed to have my camera (sigh)...he's a great photographer anyway...and I wanted to share his shots.

That's it for now...stayed tuned for the next installment from the Monkeyhouse. Until then, much love to ya'll. -J
