Of course I am totally kidding. Or at least MOSTLY kidding. We had such a fun time with the Hatch's- we seriously can't wait until the next time we all get together. Kate had the greatest time playing with her cousins- she has been a little sad and lonely the last couple of days. Thanks for making the sacrifices necessary to come and see us.

Becca, your Valium costs are a little bit excessive.. i know a guy around the corner can get you some of that for MUCH cheaper...

Wow, you must have some amazing in-laws to put up with that crap! We will make it up to you some day. Thanks for a great vacation!

Becca, I don't know how you do it all--keeping up with your blog, two kids, a husband, and a housefull of guests. You keep me laughing. Hope you had a fun 4th. Sorry we didn't get to hang out. My holiday turned out to be busier/lazier than I expected. I know that's an oxymoron, but that's the best way I can describe it. I am trying to come up Saturday for my dad's b-day. Hope to see you for cake and ice cream. xoxoxo!
