Week with Three

We were able to bring my niece Isabella home with us for a week after our trip to Florida.  We were all very excited about our houseguest.  Things started a little shaky- we left the race with our stuff, her stuff and some of my parents stuff.  The car was a little full....

We only had about 45 minutes like this on the way to my parents.  It doesn't look good but our resident engineers secured everything well and made sure only the soft stuff was near them.  I'll divert from the story for these pictures.  We gave Kate her first full sandwich.  We couldn't really cut it up in the car.  She didn't see to mind :)

We spent the first night at my parents where the girls enjoyed playing with Nana and Papa.  Nana even made them a tent to play in

Oh- and we taught Isabella how to use the iPhone :)

We had lots of fun when we got to our house.  Everyone actually got along really well

Jack coincidentally had meetings on bath night- actually both of them.  I figured it would be easier to have them all in one place so I did it together.  They did great.

These girls wear a lot of clothes..

Grace and Kate went to "school" a few mornings while Isabella was here.  Poor Isabella got upset when the girls got out of the car and she had to stay behind.  She did get to do some fun things- like go to work with Jack.
On Wednesday I took Kate and Isabella to storytime at the library.  Both girls loved the Bean Bag Rock song and the computers afterwards

We had lots of fun with our three kids this week.  It was a little tricky at some points since we weren't used to IB and she wasn't used to us but we had fun together.  Jack and I still laugh about her bedtime routine- she has to have everything in her bed tucked in in a certain order.  "Tuck in Mickey.  Tuck in Pooh.  Tuck in Dora.  Tuck in Book, want book out, etc"  She could do that routine forever.  Poor thing didn't know Grace had us trained so we didn't let it go on too long....

Friday night IB and I went to Craig's house to spend the night.  We got up early the next morning and flew to Orlando to meet Sarah and Jeff and after a quick lunch I got back on the plane and came home.  Pretty cool to have breakfast with my brother, lunch with my sister and dinner with my family and we all live in different states.
Thanks for coming to visit us Isabella!  We hope your mom and dad were able to get lots done before your new sibling comes!
