All good things must come to an end

By the end of the week we had done the following things:
*eaten about 3 pounds of sugar each
*played Zarahemla three times (I won twice Andy dominated the third time)
*completely re-framed, drywalled, mudded, and sanded the attic- pictures will follow
*threw away three water bottles full of pee
*boxed numerous times with Zane
*cuddled with the cutest baby boy on the planet
*had many good hours of talks with Jamie and Andy
*Met the entire Coy Clan (miss you guys!! Anya, call me)
*ate the best fried chicken I have ever had
*ate the many different Peanut Butter things that Pennsylvania has to offer
*had the best chocolate chip cookies of my life (thanks mel!) (have you noticed our trip involved lots of food? My favorite type of trip!)
*decided never to have 8 children...ever
*laughed until our sides hurt
*And loads of other things

We were so sad when the day came to say goodbye. By the last day though, I was sick. Sick from all the sugar we expect but we headed off to Baltimore anyway. It was so great! I am slightly obsessed with the show Ace of Cakes and so we hunted down Charm City Cakes and had to take a few glamor shots! We also went to the Inner Harbor and just took in a little more beautiful history before it was time to head home. We miss Jamie, Andy, and the boys like crazy and we can't WAIT to see them in a couple of weeks. We love you guys so much! Thanks for the laughter, the fun, and the hard work!

Hey Amanda, if you want the pics from my blog to be bigger, click on them first and then save them. Otherwise, they will just be saved in that tiny size. (Does that make sense?)
Love the posts! Can't wait to see you guys in a couple weeks. :)

Just don't have 8 children around the same age, if I remember correctly Jamie and Melanie kids are pretty close in age. I hope Mel posts the recipe for her famous chocolate chip cookies.
