hews have been in town this last week (as you can see by new and updated blog... Thanks JaNece!). It was so wonderful seeing them and spending time with them (JOY!) and now they are gone (sorrow.) Last night I told Karsten to say good-bye to Nana because she would be gone in the morning when he woke up. He paused for a moment then said, "But I love her!" Not only that, but they took Sierra and Skyla with them so they could have some bonding time in Utah. Initially I was so excited for a little break from the chaos of three kids (although the child still at home is the one causing all the chaos so I'm not sure why I thought I was going to get a break from that...) however it lasted maybe two hours and now I miss them terribly. 
But onto the tears of joy... I've missed my mom and sister so much! It was so much fun having them here. We went to the chilly northern California beach, hiked at Point Reyes, explored San Francisco, played at parks, went crabbing in Sausalito (this sounds fancy but actually it was a hot dog on a stick with string and a nail and these little crabs would grab onto the 
hot dog), watched Stardust, cooked together, laughed together, ate yummy food, and just hung out! JaNece and I went to the Twilight book group so of course we couldn't stop talking about the books the entire week. It doesn't take much to get those books back into your head! Ugh. 13 more days until the conclusion can be known.

My little nephews are the cutest. Lukas is just three months older than Karsten. He says the funniest things. He was constantly saying, "Hey Aunt Mindy..." in his cute little voice and I loved it! Max is 20 months and he loves to make people laugh. He'll do something, look around at the reaction, and then open his mouth as wide as it can go in the biggest smile when we are indeed laughing at him. Why didn't I get a picture of that!?!

Thank you guys for making the LONG drive to come and visit! I'm so grateful for the memories we made this week!!!

What fun! What cute girls in your family! I miss you girl, I always enjoy your comments. I may get to see Tyra for a little this week while she is in town-----I wish you were coming-----Love,Laura
I am loving the kid quotes and the paper background you have. Karsten is such a funny kid---love all the cute things he says....especially about smelling the "hot dog" with sugar.
Love the new look! I am so glad you got some family time with out having to make the trip to Utah! It's so fun to have visitors to get you out to the places you always mean to get to but never quite make. Pt. Reyes is so AMAZING! Why don't I get there more?
My girls are completely distraught about what to do with out yours for 2 whole weeks! :)
Crabbing with a hot dog on a stick in Sausalitio?!? Leave to you to find those little Bay Area GEMS!
Cute blog! So are you coming to Utah to pick up your girls??? :) Glad you got to have fun girl time with your family!
I already want to come back! Why did I leave? Thank you for all the fun! I can't wait until the next time! Love you!
How fun! I remember going to Point Reyes with you and will never forget it. Even though the wind was blowing so hard and Sierra was scared. That's one of those places I would love to see again. I bet your girls are having so much fun right now.
