Impromptu Visit

Our weekends have been a little different than our normal routine... usually Saturday is pizza and beer night with my parents but my sister and kids are staying with them, so it makes sleeping arrangements increasingly difficult... and it also adds 5 extra people into the mix!  Let's just say that it gets a little crazy up in there.  And lately I haven't been able to handle the extra motion, noise, chaos, you name it, but we have been staying home.  We tried it out once but we ended up leaving before the night was up because Norah was tired and needed to sleep, but with all the extra people, even if they were being quiet (which, let's face it, they were not) it was still pretty loud.

While we were driving home I got a text that our friends Carcara and his entire family were in MI and staying with Ratty and Gato.  They were hoping to see us at Mandinga's batizado (which we didn't go to) so we made quick plans to hang out with them at the house.  I was really needing this trip out and talking with new people so it was awesome that they had their little one and kids with them and it was just nice to catch up.

Jugi was so fantastic at entertaining our crazies!

Carcara was really tired... slept through the chaos of the game

After that visit I was in such a better mood.  I'm not sure what made all the difference but I was glad to get out of my funk.  We realized that the last time we had seen Carcara was when Lucy was just born... over two years ago!  Hoping that it's not another two years before we get to see them again.
