Last Friday night we packed up the car for another long weekend getaway to visit family. We were going to Uncle Jake's and Aunt Polly's house to celebrate Audrey's 4th birthday. Jacob and Jake went golfing on Saturday morning while Aunt Polly, Uncle Chris, Nana, Papa, Great Grandma Dierkens and me helped prepare for the party. There were tones of High School Musical-themed decorations, party favors, presnets, and even a cake. On Sunday we went to church with the whole Dierkens family and had breakfast afterwards. We ditched Nana, Papa, Uncle Chris, and Great Grandma Dierkens to hit up Geagua Lake. The kids had so much fun playing in the water, while the adults took turns going down "the big kid slides". After over 4 hours of fun in the water little Jacob didn't want to leave. We all had dinner together at Rocknes, then we headed back home to Virginia. We made almost record time of about 5 hours. Look for some pictures of our weekend trip!
We are now a very happy family of 4. We live in Jacob's home town of West Chester, Ohio so that we can be close to family and good friends. Life seems to have slowed down and is easy to enjoy since moving back to Ohio.
