Family Values

We visited Nick's family this weekend, and it was a lot of fun. It was kind of nice to have a visit where it wasn't all "what can we do for you" as opposed to just being there and having fun with his family without having to work our butts off and be exhausted the entire time. We spent most of Saturday on the road, and then didn't really feel like going anywhere, so we hung out playing games. After that we decided that we were going to eat and get to bed because we were truly exhausted. Sunday was a fun day as well. We went with his mom to the outlets in Maryland and had a ball. We bought a few books, and I finally got the Twilight book so I can see what all the hype is about. We got a few books for Nick's brother and sister in hopes the gaming will decrease and the reading will commence. After that we went to get Nick some new shoes. I found a couple pairs that I really liked for him, and we ended up getting two. One will be for work and the other for everyday use. After that we got some pretzels and headed home. We spent some more time with the kids and then headed back to New Jersey. It was good to be out and see his family, but it was time to be back to the daily grind. We hit Walmart on the way home and grabbed him some socks and under shirts. It was like we were starting over again. For some reason the lack of stress was fun, and it normally doesn't happen for us!

Now that we are back to daily life, few things have happened. Except one really big thing. The eldest of the twins has learned to climb from his crib, and into his sister's... This might be an interesting week in New Jersey!
