A Blockbuster Weekend...

This past weekend we were able to take a road trip across the state to visit the newest Ulrich...Baby Ben!

Below is Ellie and I just hanging out Friday afternoon waiting for Ben and Luke so we could hit the road. Luke is still going to Ms. Meghan's Monday, Wednesday and Friday so that us girls can get a chance to relax together. When Lukey is around it is a different story so I LOVE the time that I get alone with my girl. Plus Lukey LOVES his Meghan, Ayrton, Dylan, and Ava.

After the LONGEST stretch of road construction EVER we all were in desperate need of a break. Here I am feeding Ellie in the car and I caught Luke and Ben on camera through my window. This "break" has become a tradition for Ben and Luke. Lukey knows that when it's break time he gets to run around and play ball with Dad. He loves it and constantly asks when we can take a break while we are driving. :)

Also, notice Lukey's run! He sticks out his right elbow and flaps it up and down like it will make him run faster...it's  pretty funny.

4 1/2 hours later (!) we made it to Grand Rapids. For being such a good sport, Ben stopped to get Luke a chocolate milk. :)

We made it to Brian and Molly's to meet the sweetest little boy, Ben! Little guy is only 5 dys old here.

It took Luke a little bit to warm up to Lucy the dog but once he got comfortable he loved her!
We love spending time with these guys and we are so happy that Ben is now here!

The next afternoon we put Ellie in the Bjorn and all 3 of us went for a hike in the park's woods. We made it all the way down to the river where Lukey had fun throwing acorns and rocks into the water. Luke made it through the entire hike until we reached the street. Then Ben was carrying Ellie in the Bjorn and Luke on his shoulders...what a guy. :) Luke was just a little exhausted after a quick trip to G.R. and all of the hiking. Here he is literally falling asleep while chewing his food...what a trooper.

Elle is now blowing a ton of bubbles, cooing back when we talk to her, kicking her little legs, giving such big smiles, and loving to look at her toys. She's such a sweetie. We are beyond blessed to have these little angels in our life.
