Chris & I have the great joy of having our Nephews Joe & Jake and Niece Summer here to visit for spring break. As I am 36 weeks pregnant and we are both working we have been trying to think of some fun and creative things to do with the kids. One of the things Chris was taking them to do was go down to the Indianapolis Motor speedway Hall of Fame Museum and then to a 50's Diner afterwards.

I am will be venturing out to take them all to the Indianapolis Zoo. Glad we are supposed to have warmer weather this week.

Chris has been great already at upholding his uncle duties with the boys and staying up late to watch movies with them. Plus he helped me put the girls down to bed.

The girls are amazing. You can tell what a strong bond they have. I know they don't get to see each other much but they stick together like a pair of strong magnets when they do. There is lots of hugging and following one another around. Sweet little Ava can't make a move with making sure Summer is coming too. They got to sleep in the same room last night. I was worried about them staying up and talking (as best toddlers can) but they went right to sleep.

In the middle of the night Summer cried a little in her sleep. I went in a smoothed her hair and whispered comforts to her. At one point I said "Summer don't cry honey" when I heard my little echo from across the room when Ava whispered "Don't cry Summer" Went I leaned over to check on Ava she was sleeping, she must of woke long enough just to help me comfort Summer.

Toddlers are pretty cute with the funny things they say. When the kids were in the car with Chris, Summer called up to Ba Ba and told him she had to go potty (#2). Her brother Joe turned around and said "Can you hold it?" Summer then politely replied "I can't hold it, my buckle is in the way" HAHAHAHA.

Then in a few sweet moments later all I could here in the background was my tender daughter saying "Don't go home Summer, Don't go home." Over and over again. I sure wish these two lived closer to one another.

I am also immensely impressed with how grown and mature my nephews are getting. They are such little men. They are great helpers and even pitch in with the girls. It will be interesting to see how they are with a new little dude hanging around after Eli is born. The boys will then out-number the girls on the Huff side of my family with the grand kids.

I look forward to making more memories with them this week and hope to post some pictures of the visit soon.

Saturday we are having a birthday brunch for Summer and then maybe on Sunday we will paint Eli's room. Robin should be back on Saturday!

Grateful for my family.
