it always goes too fast

despite having my house trashed and at least 2 kids throwing up each night and being exhausted each morning i hate to see josh and val and family go home! it's been so fun to have them and chris and rob and kids sleep over. 

last night we all sat up talking about the dynamics of our family and how each reverts to their childhood family role. we've all grown and changed and the guys felt they don't know each other well in some ways but the girls felt just the opposite. our girl's trips really help us stay connected and that's important to all of us. 

first thing this morning i took eli to walmart to pick out his birthday present. he chose a remote control car and then we got 2 dvd's at the red box. he walked out just floating and exclaiming, 'this is a super awesome day! i got a new toy and 2 movies. this is so awesome!' 

once again eli got it right....this week's been awesome.
