Unfortunately, the week before our planned trip we discovered that rather than being a fun family together time, it would instead be me working all nighters and Megan driving aimlessly throughout Pennsylvania during the day and wrestling alone to put the kids to bed at night in a small hotel room without scrapbooking supplies (unless you count Marriott pens and post it notes as scrapbooking supplies--then you'd have plenty).
(I think we made the right call.)
We were sad, however, that we wouldn't be able to see Eric and Lacey--especially since seeing them was one of the motivating, and multi-purposed reasons for taking the trip in the first place. Lucky for us, it was just a few days later and Lacey called Megan informing her that since we weren't going to make it out to see them, they were coming out to see us!
Alison (Eric and Lacey's daughter) and Kaitlyn enjoyed drawing pictures.
Nathan and Eric enjoyed playing drums and jamming on Les Pauls.
Max enjoyed trying to show off his cuteness by putting on his sister's new clothes.
Megan and I, and Eric and Lacey enjoyed a couples dinner out at the Cheesecake Factory.
Here's a picture of Kailtyn with a hula hoop for some reason.
Ali and Ali and Max and Tyler enjoyed being forced to have their picture taken on the stairs.
Ali, Ali and Parker rode a merry go round (not in our basement).
Max and Tyler enjoyed showing us yellow, injection-molded plastic implementations.
Yep...we all had a great time together whether at the WonderLabs, at home, eating out...
...or eating in.
Ali was even thoughtful enough to share the neighbor's toys with Parker.
Thanks to Eric and Lacey and their kids for coming to visit! We had a great time.

Nice summary. You're on your way to catching up!
It looks like a great visit. Really cute pictures of all the kids.
About the binky, (haven't read the post yet) did you give him another one? Did he cry himself to sleep? He'll probably be better tomorrow. It was nice that we had other binkys for a while since we started cutting them up a couple months ago. Then he got used to the process...
Sorry. Don't hate me.
Wow, you're really catching up, aren't you? It made me happy to see these pictures, but sad that it probably be a while before I'm ready to made a return trip. We had a blast, and think that it's your turn to come here! =)
p.s. Nathan, did you come up with the new "cute blog" look?
The new "cute blog" look was a joint effort: Megan suggested it and I agreed.
So fun to read your updates! So sorry to hear about the late hours -- we can relate to those over here, too, unfortunately.
What fun! It is so nice to have good friends.
With such parents it is easy to see where all your children get such cute things. Kaitlyn has such a clever way of saying things. I think she takes after Ali who is so on the ball and I am sure that Max will continue the tradition. Cute, clever, OTB, just like their parents.
Love,
Dad
