Our Trip Home - Part 2

On the 28th we headed over the pass to Eastern Washington to spend time in Kennewick. Although I am 25, there is still something SO nice about being home and having mom there to take care of everything! Food tastes better, clean laundry smells nicer, the shower water feels hotter...its just good to be home!

After a great lunch, we said goodbye to Ed and Christy and started to settle in for another action packed week. There are always so many people to see, it can be a challenge, but we try our best. This trip we were able to spend more time just relaxing--playing games, watching movies, and truly enjoying the company. I love seeing Lily interact with everyone and once again, she was just wonderful! I guess she enjoys the attention...I wonder where she gets that from?!

On New Years Eve, we attended the Tri-City Americans hockey game and even got to witness a few fights on the ice. Everyone agreed that we really got our money's worth with all the second period action. When it was over we went back home for more games and lots of snacks. I'd like to give a special shout out to our favorite rocker chick BG for the stunning performance!

Our trip was originally scheduled to end on January 2nd. It had been a fabulous trip with lots of hugs & kisses, laughs, and gifts. Although the last time I was really living in the Tri-Cities for longer than breaks or vacation was 2000, it means so much that when we do go back there, we can just pick up where we left off. Everyone has changed since we last visited, but the love and closeness is still the same. This makes every goodbye bittersweet. So, when our flight from Pasco to Seattle was cancelled due to snow, I wasn't too disappointed (More to come on this dramatic situation--Snow joke!).

Thank you to both our families for such a fantastic visit! We loved seeing you all and only wish we could be part of your daily lives as well! We hope to be back to Washington again in the spring and we welcome any visitors who would like to come stay in Kansas City for a while! XOXO
