weekend recap: He's home!

He got home SUPER late last night, but we are so happy to have him back safe and sound with us!
I think they had a really fun time!
So while he was doing this:
we were doing this:
Enjoying some time around Fullerton...
 
 
...before heading to be with family:
(It's too bad they don't like each other...)
 
Why take a bath alone when you could take one with your cousins!
 we had a movie night and watched "Epic",
Ryder slept had a sleep over with his cousins and had SO much fun! 
 Saturday morning, Redlands hosted the Beautiful Run 5K fun run in support of Beautiful Gate, in Lesotho, Africa: a childcare center where abandoned and orphaned children are restored to health and eventually new families.  Proceeds of the run went to provide food and supplies for the center.
Ryder did it with our family, while I was home with a sleeping Eden:
Then we got to go to the YMCA and watch my nephew Xander beat an undefeated team in over time and then get MVP for the game.
 The girls went out to lunch, no kiddos, and had some wonderful, uninteruppted talk time.
It was wonderful!
 Then we spent some time in the pool.
 It was really special to get to be with our family!
I won't lie, Eden had a really hard time sleeping due to teething and that made the trip unusually harder for us all, but I would say we were able to rally and have lots of fun and make some special memories in the middle of being tired.  I am so thankful for our family!
We had a great time and loved that we were able to be with people we love while our Kit was away♥.  It is wonderful to all be together again...
