Then we have just the excuse for you!!! While i am deployed (Oct through Apr) Cris will be moving back to Hawaii with the girls so he can teach at UH. The Oct through Dec plan is still a little hazy, but starting Jan 1 we are looking for volunteers to visit Hawaii to help Cris with childcare. We have added a link on the right side of the blog to check out the "availability calendar" to see if there is a time that just might work for you. Being deployed is going to be pretty awful in so many ways, and it will be such a relief to know that the girls are being cared for by people who love them. Our families have both already been sooooo amazing, and we think we can actually cover all 4 months of my deployment with visits from friends and family. So keep us in mind, and consider a vacation to Hawaii this winter!
Now, back to the end of our vacation. My mom picked us up from Toledo, and we headed over for more family fun at Grammie's house. The girls were THRILLED to get to spend time with my adorable neice and nephew, Secily and Micah.
My mom takes her role as Grandma VERY seriously :) Her house if filled with all kinds of crazy toys, including these little electric bumper cars. These provided the kids with endless fun....well, endless until the batteries needed charged.
Nova and Micah "bumpin'"
This was my girls first experience with PlayDough....until now i have avoided the inevitable pink playdough ground into cream carpet. But the girls loved it so much we just might have to get some of our own.
Cheese-ball Nova
My mom has cut all five of the kids hair for pretty much our whole lives. Now she cuts all 6 grandkids hair too. It's pretty much an assembly line of haircuts whenever we visit. She's a nurse, not a hairdresser, but we don't care :)
Bathtime with cousins....Nova was being a bit of a chicken and didn't want to venture in for cousin bathtime.
But as soon as the tub cleared out of the other kids, she hopped right in.
the girlies hepling Gram make french toast 
Nova, the little helper baby.
so, that pretty much wraps up the last 2 weeks!!! Now, it's back to the old grind :( It's going to be tough to go back to work on monday, but I am looking forward to my mom visiting in a couple of weeks!
Don't forget to consider a trip to HAWAII!!!!

Those are some SWEET bumper cars!
I am so glad that you had a wonderful and relaxing vacation--you deserve it!
Thanks for your sweet comments. I am literally putting one foot in front of the other these days, but I have been excited to reach out to a few other moms w/GD or MTHFR because of my blog.
My family was going to be staying in Honolulu for a month this summer but we decided to put it off until little miss Lauren gets over her shyness around other people. I would have loved to help out with your adorable baby girls.
