Homecoming

Like my new background I got??  When I have sessions with little ones and it's cold or rainy out I get a little twitchy so I broke down and bought 2 new backgrounds and this was just me and Delaney playing around.  She didn't like it all that much.

We went to go play at a local indoor play area.  It was a bit expensive but they had some famous coffee there so I got to drink while they played.  Too bad Delaney wouldn't leave my side.  I swear, she was absolutely attached!!

But then two days later we got invited here.  It's a local church and they have a big gym that they cover with toys, indoor toys and outdoor toys and the kids get to play like crazy.  And Delaney left my side!!  The best part, it's only $5 for both kids!  No coffee but there's a Starbuck's right down the road. But WAIT!!  They did just open up a coffee place INSIDE the church!!  Haven't checked it out yet, but maybe next time.

Of course Aaron found the trains.

Aaron used to do this when he was this old.  I thought it was so funny, so I had to get some pics of Delaney doing the same thing.

The kids and I went home for homecoming this year. We didn't actually go to the game (someday we will) but we did get to go to campus, drag Kami and her boys there, and go to house decs. It was a blast, but definitely more difficult with children as opposed to when I was in college.

We started out in KC.

 

She loves to swing!!

And since everyone works now, there's no one to hang out with while we are there during the day.  So I called an old college friend (am I old enough to say that now?).  It's literally been since college since I've seen her but it didn't seem that long.  She was about to have her very first baby.  Funny thing was, before we left to go back to OR (just wrote WA...) she DID have her baby!!!

This isn't her.  It's Delaney.

This is my friend.  Hi Kat!!

Ahhhhh, campus.

You wait, Kami.  This kid is going to be a tiger.  Both of them.

YAY!!!  Patti and Angie and Stephanie.  Good thing my kids were behaving themselves and not embarrassing me.

Again, I get "wow, you're kids are so well behaved" all the time.

And two of my favorite people of all time, Kim and Joan.  It's been a while but I love and miss you ladies.

So, there used to be Brady.  Oh, Brady, where did you go?  This monstrosity has taken your place.  You used to be cosy and predictable and crowded, and now this places is all spread out and has lots of amenities. Like booths and laptops to rent and lots of places to sit.

Humph.

Aaron dancing at house decs.  We were at one house for 20 minutes before they started their skit and this 10 year old gets up and starts break dancing.  He wasn't very good, but it was hilarious and entertaining to watch!!  So Aaron started it at the next house we went to.

Aw, Kami and Levi.

Then both boys joined in.

Trying out my new lens at the Thompson house.

She was so tired, doesn't travel as well as Aaron did and does.

More again tomorrow.
