Visit from Athena

$29 flights?  Unbelievable I know, but luckily we had family who could take advantage of it.  My younger sister, Athena, and her baby, Dax came to visit us this week.  It was nice to have the weather mostly cooperative.  We got to take the boys out for a few walks, she learned how to knit, and it wouldn't be a visit without shopping, of course.  But mostly, we enjoyed each other's company, getting/giving advice, and enjoying adult conversation during the day.     

                                                

                                         

                                          

Fun memories growing up - 

- Cabbage Patch dolls and Pound Puppies

- Playing fastpitch softball on the same team 

- In high school we had to drive our parents van... truly embarrassing at the time.  In fact, so    embarrassing that we  refused to use the student parking lot.  Instead, we parked at the curb  on the side of school, under a tree.  We figured it  was the best way to escape after school and  remain undetected.  The best part is, if there was a lot of student traffic after  school I would  slip in through the passenger side door (remember we're hidden under a tree) into the driver's  seat, so as  to disguise myself, and Athena would slip in after.  I'm sure we looked ridiculous.

- Being each others Maids of Honor

- Being pregnant together AND having kids 2 months apart

- Truly confiding in each other  

Thank you for coming to visit!  We love you and your family, and we missed you Scott.  We can't wait to see you all again.

     

                  

               

Love you, sis.
