Aunt Jen's trip

Was the best. I still can't believe my sister gave up her holiday weekend with her family to come help me out with the children while Mike was in ATL attending a great friend of our's wedding. She and Mike passed in the air and probably could have waved to one another LOL
On Friday we all went in to pick her up at security gate. Caden and I waited, sometimes impatiently, for her while Riordan wanted out of his stroller, and Teagan bounced in the Bjorn. Yay! We got her, stopped at the Starbucks for a quick snack and then headed to, surprise surprise, Chick Fila! Brought the boys home for a nap and then my friend Michelle and her children came over to play that night and eat pizza.
Saturday we hit the mall. The boys played on the indoor playground for almost an hour! We strolled around with no agenda and ate in the court. Back home we came for naps. Teagan slept till 6 pm, so when she got up and everyone had dinner we hit the Super Target.
Off to church the next morning, which if you read was very moving, and then home to wait for Mike to return. We had a big girls day planned! Mike got in about 1, we cut OFF her hair for Locks of Love, and then went and saw 'Trust the Man' and had a delicious dinner and amazing talk at Fleming's Steakhouse. And yes I introduced her to the Coconut Tears Martini AND the Chocolate Lava Cake. YUMMO!
Monday was departure day and a sad one. I can't remember the last time she and I got to spend time like that together. Had to be before the kids were all born. Talk about home sick. Which is another motivation to book this trip finally to Atlanta. Caden and Riordan cried and she walked inside the airport. Even candy couldn't stop their tears. We miss you Aunt Jen!!
