So I'm playing catch up again. It's been a busy, crazy, but fun month. We had cousins out for a week and then the next week we were all so sick! Not fun at all! Especially since Raegan had it too, she is just barely getting over it (some stomach flu). Well, after our week of sickness and a fun, but busy, primary quarterly activity (carnival), we had a week visit from my wonderful in-laws! It was probably the first time that I have spent so much alone time with them and it was really fun to get to know them better.
