Arboretum Trip

Last week, we planned a long overdue day out with our friends, the Spitzenbergers. Meredith couldn't have been more thrilled to see "her" Anna! She laid on the guilt thick before we went, asking me "Mama, what does Anna look like? I can't remember....it has been SOOO long since I have seen her!" The flowers were beautiful and we couldn't have asked for better weather!

Meredith and Anna running near the tulips
Joseph and Jillian loved watching everything going on - here Jillian is showing off her super-adorable wave, which is backwards and then she flutters her fingers individually - love it!

The sweet big girls running hand-in-hand
Julie and I each brought a wagon - it seems like whoever got Meredith and Anna in theirs would have had the hard job because it was slightly heavier, but since both of our babies are dare-devils, this was the risky wagon to pull - you never knew who might be plotting their first broken bone by standing and turning around in their seats.
All the kiddos had a blast playing in the water - I know that Jillian and Joseph were wishing they were just a little taller so they could splash like their big sisters!
