That was fast!

As mentioned previously Sekona headed to California and then to Salt Lake City to play tennis, so Lillian and I headed to Jenny's. We arrived on June 26th and Jenny had a pleasant suprise by going into labor on Saturday and then having a healthy son on Monday. (Since she wasn't to have the baby until the scheduled C-section on July 8th!) There were a few trips to the hospital as Jax wasn't released as soon as we would have liked. The kids loved seeing Jax though and couldn't wait for him to be home.

Lillian loved being around her cousins!! Molly and Lillian had a love-hate relationship. They were either defending each other or attacking each other! Still, if they had to spend time apart they were in the deepest of woes and couldn't wait until they were back together again. (One night I took Lillian to town to have a little time away and Molly came running up and said, "Remember to come back!". Another time Molly and the family were going to visit Jax as a family and Lillian went up to her in tears saying, "You have to come back. Don't forget to come back home. I'll be here waiting!") We visited with Jerry's and Peter's family as well. Christine and ShaRee were impressed with Lillian's swimming skills. Molly got some scissors down and Lillian cut Molly's, Mikaydi's and her hair! That didn't go over too well, especially since Jenny was excited to show Mikaydi last curls before they were gone. A few were able to be salvaged, but not what was on the agenda.

Mom and Dad came home from their mission in Russia and we were there to greet them!!! It was lots of fun to see Mom and Dad again. Sekona came up for it and Lillian was glad to see her Daddy again!!! Only she didn't want to go home with him yet! Sekona would ask if he should take her back with him. Her response, "No daddy! I have to stay with Molly for ever and ever and then I go to Granny's!" Yes, Granny was kind enough to take the three younger ones to spend a few nights with her and Papa! I believe they had quite the adventure with Molly, Lillian and Mikaydi! I had a wonderful time holding Jax when he was finally released from the hospital! What a special little guy! Soon it was time for Lillian and I to head back and where did the 3 weeks go! It was a whirlwind of activity!
