* To see more pictures go here, http://s63.photobucket.com/albums/h159/desirogers/May%202009/?action=organizeToday Mike's 3 younger sister and family left. It was sad, but nice all in the same boat. We miss and love them dearly, BUT, it is nice to be back home all on our lonesome and back into a regular routine. About 10:00 I got the phone call from Keith and Kim that they had Kira this morning...well Kim had Kira this morning. She was born at 8:39 am, and weighed in at 6 lbs. 5 oz, and if I remember right 18 1/2 inches long. The story was very similar with my labor with Mordecai. We are grateful that everything went well, and we are hoping for pictures soon.
Backtracking...
Wednesday Kristilyn, Mark and the boys arrived about 7:00 pm. That night we just hung out after kids went down and planned what we were going to do on Thursday.
Thursday we hit the Zoo in the morning. I think the kids like the carousel and the train more than anything. I think the adults enjoyed the Parakeet exhibit where you get to feed them nectar. After the Zoo we got home just in time for me to make it to my annual doctors visit. That night we had dinner and played games. It was nice to get to know Kristilyn and Mark on a more personal level. I almost forgot. I went and picked up my birthday gifts, check here.
Friday we hung out until Mike went and got Julie and Jason at the airport, and then that was another night of dinner, planning, and games after Brandon and Melly arrived about 8:00.
Saturday we did the Butterfly Pavilion, still don't think it is worth the price, and then had a picnic lunch in the back yard, per Emily's request. We played around in the back and then had a BBQ for dinner. Unfortunately we had to eat inside cause it started to rain, which continued the rest of the week/weekend until this morning...SAD.
Sunday we did Church of course, and then after the kids were in bed Julie prepared a wonderful FHE for the adults on remembering, we then listened to an excerpt from Grandpa Rasbands funeral and then shared a trait we learned or wanted from our Grandparents. It was a true Rogers FHE, and mom Rogers would have been proud.
Monday morning the girls went out to breakfast at IHOP, and then we headed over to the Westminster Mall to see the great deals at Dillard's. Sad to say not one of us found anything. About 3:00 Melody and Brandon headed out to go back home. Then around 4:00 the remaining of us hit Adventure golf, mini golf, and then dinner at Red Robin.
It was so much fun, and crazy, and hectic, but well worth it. Thanks guys for coming!
