Our Washington Trip so far...

We've been here in Washington for 3 days and have yet to see the sun for more than 2 minutes at a time! Talk about not wanting to get out of bed....except for our children! They've been going to bed late (in Washington time) because of visits with family, but they are still getting up as if they were in Texas time! For 2 mornings, they woke up at 5:30-5:45 a.m. Yesterday, I made both of them take a nap because we were experiencing the "joyous" feelings of lack of sleep. So for Sheridan, after 4 years of not having to nap, she slept for 2 hours! Colin also slept for 2 hours, and both children were MUCH HAPPIER :-) Last night, we put an extra covering over the window to hopefully keep the room darker in the morning and keep our little ones in bed longer! They managed to sleep an hour later and woke up at 6:45 instead. I definitely felt better after getting that extra hour of sleep, but I do wish that they would sleep a little longer.

Overall, we are having a great time on our trip. Sheridan and Colin got to meet Sarah's Uncle Ben & Aunt Caron and 3 of their kids, Katelyn, Travis, & Josh. Katelyn took them outside to play after dinner, and they had a blast! Sheridan keeps asking when we get to go see them again!

Today, we are visiting with Greg's cousins and their families. So more family to meet and more reasons to try to make this trip more often! Tomorrow, we are visiting with Sarah's Uncle Robert and Auntie Chong, and later with her Grandpa Bill. The rest of our time next week, we'll be traveling around Puget Sound to visit other family before making our way up to Victoria, Canada. This will be Colin's first trip out of the country! Hopefully, he'll remember it!

We'll try to download pics as soon as we return home on Saturday!
