they've left me

I am so sad. My family left me last night to fly back home on the red eye flight. From a call from Abbi at 11:30 am this morning, I found out that Abbi and Chad had a major delay in their connection flight and just arrived home. My mom and dad, however, are still waiting for their connection flight in Las Vegas. What a pain! And I thought I had it bad with the post vacation blues! I feel bad for my mom and dad, but I also feel bad for me. I hate it when my family leaves! I'll just have to look at these pictures of our Stone Mountain hike over and over until I am ready to face life again. It might take a while. Stone Mountain is exactly what it sounds like - a big old stone mountain that the whole family can hike up. It was the perfect activity for our family. And of course we had to take a ton of pics.

Mike was sleep deprived with all his night shifts in a row. He tried taking a nap at the top, but that is hard to do with three boys who want to play with you.

Dave has the same idea.


Adam, we miss you!
Time to hike back down.

Here is Mike and mini Mike. I am raising my husband!

Abbi, Chad, and Dave are excellent tennis players. We had to fit that activity into our plans.

Guess who found his thumb?

At the end of the day, Lydia reads a bed time story to her cousins.

What an awesome holiday we had with our family. It would have been even better if Adam could have come, but being a manager of an Old Navy store makes it hard to take off during the busiest time of year. Again, we missed you Adam!
