OUR BIG FAT GREEK AUNT AND UNCLE

Okay, so we are so much enjoying Amanda and Tres being here with us. So...there not really greek, and they definetely aren't fat but they were in Greece for a month so I thought it was a catchy title. :) They had a blast on their backpacking trip, as I am sure you all have seen from their blog. We have had fun looking at all their pictures and hearing about all their crazy experiences.
Maggie and Owen have LOVED having them here and having constant playmates. Amanda and Tres are for sure the best "players" ever. They have lots of creative ideas and tons of energy so it's never boring. Maggie is stuck to Amanda like glue, which Amanda loves. :) I have gotten some nice breaks so that has been great for me.
Today they headed out on a bike ride with Maggie and said it was going to be a short one.


Well, about 2 hours later (an hour after Maggie's naptime) they come back home. They had met some Germans that live in our village and they let Maggie come in and pet the sheep and watch their horses get a bath. (they had a farm) They told amanda to bring her back everyday so she could see the animals. Maggie had so much fun with them and wanted to tell me all about the animals she saw. I knew she'd get into some adventure going out with them!! Having fun is what your supposed to do with aunts and uncles.....which is exactly what they did.


We don't have anything too exciting planned this week other than just hanging out. Matt comes this Thursday to visit for 3 weeks which will be fun. And we are having Maggie's birthday party next Saturday while everyone is still here.
