Horse Back Riding at Aunt Pams!

Grandma's sister, Aunt Pam, has a couple of ponies and one just had a baby about a month ago. We were able to take the kids their to see them and even take a ride. Another great reason to be near family! It has been truly amazing to have all of the family around. Paul and I had two nights in a row without the kids...it seems strange, but we're really enjoying having some date nights. We have had the chance to try out some new restaurants that have come to town in the time that we were gone.

The kids are having a blast with all of the family. They've had several sleep overs with aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. We're really enjoying seeing Jessi bond so much with the family. What a difference it makes for her to be able to see all of them anytime she or we want. She doesn't look at them like they're strangers anymore!

I can tell that she doesn't totally understand what is going on. She still talks about Kara, Myles, and Auntie Val. I like how good her memroy is! I don't think that she will ever forget her hometown friends. We'll have to make sure to keep in touch and visit when it's possible!
