We just got home from Michigan last night and had a great trip. On Monday, we went to Great Lakes Crossing to meet up with Robin and her family. We were SO bummed because Jessie and her family and Laurasnowbird and Jellojackie were not going to be able to be there that day...............hoping to meet up with all of them in 2006!!!!!!! BUT.........when we got to the food court and were looking around for Robin, I notice my DH talking to a woman. I assumed it was someone he knew from college and I just kept on standing there waiting for Robin. Then Jordan says "Mom! That's Donnita!!!" With my rapidly failing eyesight, I said "there is NO way that can be Donnita. She lives in Indiana"!!!!! And it WAS Donnita and her mom and girls! What a wonderful surprise! And, Robin knew about them coming and kept it a secret. They drove about 5.5 hrs to meet there with us!!!!!
We had a great time at Jeepers..........kids had a blast on the rides and playing video games while we talked. Emily rode the mini roller coaster over and over. And Cassie, the little daredevil, rode every ride!!! What a cutie she is! Thanks Donnita for coming!
Chase is growing up SO fast, and is such a handsome boy. It was really good to see him, and what a gorgeous GRIN the boy has! He and Emily talked again about getting married in the future. On our way there, Emily said she was planning to marry Chase. I decided not to argue with her at that point about the fact that she was just 14, and simply said "yeah SOMEDAY". Then when we were with Chase, she says "we're getting married SUNDAY". LOL
I'll post some pics in the photo album of all the kids together soon. It was lots of fun!!! We really missed getting to see the other families, but hope to do that SOON!!

Little Miss Ellie had been Miss Fussy Pants all day on Christmas day and didn't let up ALL NIGHT. And, of course, it was my night to be up with her so I was completely beat come Monday morning. She may be a little baby, but she sure kicked my butt - I was completely whipped! In hind sight me and Brian should have traded nights so that me and the kids still could have made the trip Monday morning. Who knew I wouldn't get ANY sleep that night?
