This last week I had the opportunity to go to California and stay with my sister Christy and her family for the week. Christy just had her 4th Girl and needed a little extra help as she was recovering. So I flew down and stayed the week with her. The week was casual and we just hung out mostly so although I went down there to help out, I still consider it a vacation because it was pretty low key.
Some things I did do: Go to the park with Mia, walk Avery to school, take Eliza out to dinner to celebrate her getting baptized the week before, and held, fed and cuddled Emmy whenever I could. We did go to the beach on Saturday, it was overcast but still a fun time.
Eliza and I at Ruby's celebrating her baptism:
Being down there just hanging out made me more excited to be a mom one day. Christy's girls are so cute and full of energy and they made me laugh everyday.
Christy and I were able to go to a movie the last night I was there so it was fun to get out for a while. Also, my good friend Konstantina came down one night and we went to dinner and got caught up on each other's lives.
The 3 girls could not get enough of their new, cute, little baby sister Emmy. If they were home, one of them was usually holding her. They argued over whose turn it was to hold her and would often count to 10 (or 100) to signify it was now their turn to hold her.
All 3 girls surrounding their new sister:
One cute story about Mia. Mia is obsessed with iphones. If there is an iphone around she is begging to play a game on it. Whenever she would turn my phone on and see the picture of Shane on the front she would say: "There's Uncle Shane" and then flip the pages until she found the game she wanted to play. She knows how to turn the camera on to take a picture, how to pull up the pictures she has taken. She knew when I moved one of her games to another page on my phone. The girl is a crack up with the phone and she isn't even 3 yet!
Mia at the park so excited that I was going to take a picture of her going down the slide:
So it was a fun week and it was so fun to be down there and hang out with family and see their newest addition, little Emmy. And she is so little, I always forget how little they come!

Emmy is such a beautiful baby. All your nieces are! I'm so happy you got to go spend the week with your sister and her family. It sounds like you had a great time and looks like the girls loved having you there.
LOVED seeing more pictures of Emmy! So sweet of all the girls taking turns, and counting until it was there turn.
The second pic on here (with the CUTE pink cardi!) is one of those pics we were talking about. I have to look closely to make sure it's you! Freaky!
I love the picture of you with the four girls. So cute! It was so much fun having you here. We miss you!
Sheri, you're the best sister ever. I know Christy appreciated having you there. Such cute pictures. Love it.
I love these pictures. Can't wait to see the girls next week!
