cirque du suggie

there's a few states between my siblings and i, but the same highway connects us all. john & tiff both made their way through the virgin river gorge, down the cajon pass, and into the driveway of our little brown house this week. inside they found three little kids strung out on excitement and a couple adults eager to welcome them.

our fun filled week was kicked off with a short visit from tifftastic and rachalicious. there is no pictoral evidence of their visit. i'm not sure you'd want to look at pictures of grown women in pajama pants playing cards, killing dr. mario viruses, and eating brownies anyway. sleep is expendable whenever tiff is around, so i was grateful for a few days of recovery before john & liz came out with the beautiful izabella.

my kids thought she was the funnest little play thing. they dressed her up, offered her every toy in the house, and raced her around in the walker. their efforts were rewarded with giddy baby noises. katrice called my house just after we'd finished dinner. she was looking for tiff. i informed her that tiff was home in utah, so she talked to john while i text tiff. katrice hung up on john when tiff called her. it was funny chain of events that left me feeling very connected to my siblings. katrice is good sticky glue.

if you live off the same interstate as me, please stop by and visit. you might have to work, but i'll make you this casserole. which will totally make up for it.
