Virginia Trip!

We had the most amazing opportunity to go visit my sister Heather in Virginia! We had the absolute best time ever – hanging out, seeing the sites, just enjoying our time together. Heather and Javan were so kind to act as hosts and tour guides, and we loved visiting them!

Here we are on the plane, our first time flying as a family!  The kids did great!

  1. Oh my! I have so much to say because I love ALL of these pictures! First of all, we had the best time! I'm so lucky you guys were willing to come and visit...I know I've said that a bunch. But I mean it! Pretty sure I wouldn't have survived until summer to see everyone if you hadn't come out. No joke. I had fun reliving this trip through your pictures! AH! I MISS YOU GUYS! We had the BEST time while you were here. Also, Liam and Shelby were much more rolly polly...and so was I! HA! I am very glad I have lost 20 pounds since then. Although, I love that pictures of me and Liam. Priceless. These kids grow too fast! I'm glad you got to fly with your whole family. That is much easier with dad around. Your kids are adorable. Best cousins ever! Kasey even looks younger in these pics. Stop growing kids! Okay, I can't wait until Christmas now. It is killing me. We are going to have a blast! I need my sister. BAM.
