we're back

I don't think I mentioned that we were going anywhere, but we just got home from spending a few days in Tucson, Arizona, visiting family. This was the first time that Harper has spent more than 90 minutes in a car and, while it went better than we anticipated, we are completely worn out from the trip. It didn't help it that Harper slept horribly the entire time we were there and we all returned home with a cold.
Despite that, we had a great time and it was wonderful to spend some time with family. Tom's sister Robyn and her family were moving into a new house, so there was lots of moving, hanging out, garage sale shopping, bowling, BYU-game-watching, and trying to get Harper to take naps. This post is going to be a little picture-heavy because I don't really feel good. Pictures are more interesting anyway.

On our way home we had an enjoyable stop by Tom's Aunt Judy's house for dinner. We were also able to see Denise, John, and AJ, who had been unable to make it to Tucson, and Tom's cousin Rachael and her family. Thanks for dinner Bob and Judy!

It's never easy to travel with kids! Sometimes it feels like more work, even if you have help. Oh well! Sounds like you had so much fun! I can't wait for Thanksgiving so we can take a quick trip to AZ.

I like Brent's bowling ball picture. I'll get mine up soon.

I'm so glad Harper has cousins to hang out with! That's the best part of being a kid - hanging out with the cousins!
