and life goes on

We got back from our weekend vacation with Macie and Cameron late last night, and it is good to know that life does go on exactly like it was before we left! My mom had Collin for the four days and my sweet sister, AUNT KELLY (Kewwee), had Cole. Collin was feverish for two of the days - the doctor says it was probably a virus - and he ended up sleeping with my mom the whole time. Funny - he does that here, too. As a matter of fact - he slept in his bed last night for a total of ONE HOUR! He is in bed now and only time will tell how long that will last.
Cole had an AWESOME time with Kelly. He was so excited and hasn't stopped playing with his glow stick which he got from the Dallas World Aquarium. (he had told Todd and I that he would probably like to stay with Aunt Kelly for 12 days - we tried to negotiate down to four - he decided on (and packed for) six. However - he told her that he would be ready to see us on what happened to be the 4th day so that worked out well. My mom kept trying to talk him into staying with her for one night but he said he didn't want to upset Kelly. Well - tonight at bedtime he told Todd he would just like to go stay at Nana's for tonight!)
Anyway - we had a blast and a completely fun-filled packed weekend with about 300 pictures to show for it. I will leave you with one and post the pictures and stories in the next few days a little at a time - i gotta keep you interested!
