Aka.....Glendale, AZ!
Oh did we have fun visiting Meg and Dev. Yes I'm rubbing in that we spent 7 days enjoying the pool and the 87 degree weather. Next time you all can come visit with us! Brooklyn had many 'firsts' on this trip, including her first plane ride. These pics are deceiving, she was awful on the flight there. An hour and a half ride felt like 5. Good thing all three men sitting by me had little kids, too - they were willing to help distract her! And forgive her constant whining! 
We tagged along with Meg and Dev to church....Brooklyn loves Devin.
I realized on this trip I have a few very defined roles...
- I'm a mom. And Brooklyn is having some serious separation anxiety if I'm out of the room. Or if she's riding in the back seat with someone besides myself. (Sorry mom and dad)
- I'm a sister and daughter. And so grateful for the sisters and mom/dad I have! I'm very lucky I have great relationships with each of them. We can talk all night and never get tired of each other.
- I'm a twin. And not ashamed to admit I miss my twin very much. I wish each person could have a twin. It is so so so much fun. I say I'm not going to cry when we leave or she leaves, but gosh darn it I do everytime. Miss you Meg.
- I'm a wife. And missed my other half a lot. You don't realize just how much your life revolves around your spouse until you spend a week without him. Missed you Rog, thanks for letting me take a vacation. I needed it, but your girls sure missed you.
Last year at this exact time I was pregant with little miss Brooklyn - this year she got to sit in her own pool chair. Wonder what next year will bring?
Thanks again Blands for letting us crash your party!

Looks like you all had a blast! Brooklyn is absolutely adorable. Believe me, I would love for you to come and have a dinner group here in PA :)
Oh how fun! I can't get over the cute Brooklyn pics by the pool! Darling!!
Ashlee-
Hey, I noticed through Amie Hale's blog that you have a blog. It is so fun to see what you have been up to and your little girl. She is beautiful! I didn't know she was born at 28 weeks. I went back through your blog to see the posts of when she was born. I hope that's ok. My sister had her first son at 27 weeks, so your posts hit so close to home. I am so glad Brooklyn is healthy and doing well. I have a blog too, if you want to look at it send me a quick email with your email address. My email is alissamiller10@yahoo.com.

Brooklyn just gets cuter and cuter everytime I look at your pictures. Wish I could say everytime I see her, but I the only time I have seen her is when she was in the hospital. I love the picture with her drinking her bottle with her legs up. You really need to come to our play groups. I would love to see you. Or we need to just get together sometime.
