La Familia

We were able to get a great pic of most of the Burghart/Durkee/Hall/Gibson/Specter family tonight. This one's for you, Uncle Rick and fam and cousin Joe! We missed you this weekend and wish you could've been here! Hopefully next time you guys can join us!
(back: Matt, Chris [Steph's cousin], Dennis [Steph's uncle], Jeni [Steph's aunt and Godmother], Steve [Steph's dad], George [Steph's bro in low, holding Hannah], Kathy [Steph's mom], Steph [holding robby]; front: Faith, Grandpa [Steph's paternal], Grandma [Steph's paternal], Paige [Steph's sister, with Mari in front of her])



So, this morning we got to Grandma and Grandpa's house and soon after, Dennis and Jeni made us some really awesome omelettes. Mari was in heaven because she was able to get peppers and tomatoes in hers. Really good breakfast. We just hung out then. Around 12:30, the kids started getting pretty sleepy so I took Matt and the kids back to the hotel room where Matt let them chill for a while and then put them down for naps. Amazingly, ALL FOUR KIDS SLEPT! Yay for Matt! Meanwhile, I went back to gma and gpa's house to hang out with everyone.

For dinner, gpa and my cousin Chris deep fried some fish. Mmmmm, mmm good! Really. We had catfish, flounder and tuna and it was excellent! We'd never had homemade fried fish! They also even did hushpuppies AND my aunt Jeni made a peach cobbler. SO SO good!

Now we're back at the hotel. The babies seem to be quiet. However, Mari is doing her typical thing. It's 9:28pm and she is still in her bed whispering to her stuffed animal. Faith's awake, too, but is being quiet at least. Ugh. That's ok b/c it's an EARLY morning tomorrow. We have to meet the family at the restaurant at 8:30 AM (yes, the "first one" as gma would say) for breakfast. I'm HOPING that everyone will sleep all the way to Hilton Head after that!

Cute clip from yesterday

Hannah has been recently starting to have her toys 'talk' to each other - Faith did this too when she was Hannah's age, and it's the beginning of imaginary play. We love it. Here's a clip of Hannah in the car making the Loveys talk to each other, then giving them a kiss. Also check out Robby clapping. A very cute clip. The best of the car ride yesterday. Enjoy.
