Michelle and Piper came to visit us last week. I hadn't seen Piper since she was 11 days old! It was so nice to see them both and watch the kids interact with each other. Jaxin was very sweet and didn't mind sharing his toys, while Piper wasn't too keen on the idea of sharing. She warmed up though and did better at sharing than I thought she would. Each morning when they would wake up, the first thing they would do was ask where the other one was. They got a long well the first few days, but near the end of their visit, I think Piper was ready to go home and tired of being "out of her element", as she kept wanting to hit Jaxin occasionally for no reason. And at times, it seemed that even if Piper looked at him wrong, Jaxin would run screaming and crying. Terrible 2's...enough said. All in all, they were very cute together. I do wish that we lived closer so that they could grow up together. But, we'll be visiting them while we're in Indiana in 3 weeks. If we can make a point to visit each other a couple times a year, I'll be satisfied.
We kept very busy during their visit. We took the kids to several different places. The first was Dutch Wonderland. Piper had more fun going on rides than Jaxin did. He was a bit scared to do some of them. Hopefully next year he'll be more adventurous, as we'd like to take them to Sesame Place next summer! They both thoroughly enjoyed themselves at Duke's Lagoon. They were having so much fun there that we lost track of time and ended up staying a lot later than planned. Of course Michelle and I were busy being "shutterflies & picture nazi's" too! It was a fun and eventful day, and we were all exhausted once we got home. I'll post about our other adventures soon.
