Back In The USA!


Andy had a conference back in the states earlier this month, we we took advantage of it and made a family vacation back home.  We spent a week in Iowa, one in MN, and one in Norfolk.  Drew and Claire loved being in fall back in the midwest and all of the attention from the family!!!
The kiddos with my parents (Papa and Mimi)


Clarie and I watching BIG brother Drew cruise on his bike with TRAINING WHEELS!!!




This is Drew sitting with Ms. Amy... Amy was a doll that I had when I was young and she's just as tall as he is!  He loved playing with her and sitting with her to read books!  I think that I used to many products on her hair when I was younger, as her hair isn't in the best of shape!!


My sister Allison even flew in to visit us!!!  It was so great seeing her!  Drew and Claire had such a great time with her and loved all of the attention from her.  For the five days she was home we talked about how we WILL be neighbors.. some day...


On our way back to Spain we spent a few days in Norfolk.  It was so nice to see my friends there again and Drew was in heaven seeing all of his buddies again.  Drew was just getting use to his friends living far away and then we visit them... talk about confussion!!


Mia was born a little over a month after Claire!  This is Kai's younger sister:)


A few photos with Drew and his old gang!







Our good friend Chad to when to school with Andy flies helicopters. Chad took to his squadron to check a few out.  Drew was speachless and in heaven!!!  Talk about a little boys dream and being able to hit buttons!!








Claire loved the tour as much as Drew and was laughing the entire time!!
