Yesterday was my MIL's birthday. My mother & I met her for lunch at a Chinese restaurant and had a really great time. I was going to give her gift to her then but the kids wanted to give it to her so I waited. Her husband took her out to dinner last night so she stopped by afterwards so they could give it to her.
We've had a pretty busy day. We went out to lunch with my FIL and his wife and my BIL and get this...that niece I was talking about that we haven't seen in 5 years?? He brought her! I was SO surprised! I had to remind Cassie who she was and Joshua had no clue. We had a really nice lunch together and then went we all went over to my FIL's house for a while. I just wish we could have all done this before now. Better now though than never I guess. Joshua played ball out back for a nice portion of it and the girls had a really great time. They LOVE taking pictures and posed for several.
I'm glad I had my camera with me. These are the only pictures I have of them. Even if we don't see her again (but I really hope we do!) I'm glad they got to spend the day together. Cassie really loves her and I do wish she could've seen her more.
My FIL and his wife and some gifts for the kids and a really nice gift for Mike & I. They got us one of those Garmin Streetpilots! That was VERY appreciated! Now maybe I won't get AS lost in the D.C. area as I would have without it...lol. Mike tried it out on the way to take the kids to my parents house and it's FANTASTIC!! I'm not near as afraid to drive in the D.C. area now that I'll have this thing to help me...who the heck knows where I would have ended up otherwise..LOL!
I guess I'd better go. It's getting late and sadly our luggage isn't going to pack itself. I really hate that we have to leave the kids behind again. Hopefully the next 4 days will fly by. I'll be back the end of the week. Until then, you kids play nicely while I'm gone :)
