when the boss(es) are away, the mice will play

Weve been incredibly blessed with awesome supportive family! Our amazing trip to Italy could not have been possible without my dad and my sister Kim who came to watch the kids. Grandpa was here the first week. It was Bellas last week of school so he had plenty of time to hang out one on one with moses and then with Bells ater school. He is such a fun grandpa and the kids adore him. He took them to their favorite restaurants, got a summer buzz cut for Moses, and played with them. We love you dad, thank you so much for taking a week off work to come here for us and litterally get us to Italy :)

Aunt Kim is a teacher. She left right ater her last day of school, drove 14 hours to be here to be mom for 2 weeks. Aunt Kimmie Camp was in full force! She came packed with all of her crafts and the best laugh around. Moses insisted that Kimmie would "pottie train" him. Bless her heart, she tried, but he is a stubborn little dude. She made bellas birthday invitations with her, built a pirate ship with moses, watched waaaayyyyy too much disney chanel. Actually, after an hour of that station, its tooo much..right Kim? She took them shopping, went to the pool. She got bella to her girl scout camp and consoled her while she cried every night for us. Aunt Kim was an excellant mom and dad fill in. We really appreciate her help and love. Our kids are her kids, she adores them, and its mutual. As my sister, I just couldnt live without her. She is so fun to hang with, stay up late talking to. Her laugh is infectoius and we cried like ninnie boobs the day she left.

We love our family so much. Thank you Dad and Kimmie. We could really never repay you or express enough our gratitude for your selflessness in helping us while we were gone!
