quick trip to the 'lou

Andy and I headed to St. Louis last weekend  for a friend's wedding.  It was so great to see such a special friend get married.  Celeste and I were sorority sisters, and roommates for over two years. Then on Sunday we met up with the greatest girl ever!!!! and took a few pictures.  Talk about a natural in front of the camera.  Heidi's one of the nicest and funniest people I have ever known.  And her boys are beautiful.  We had a great weekend.  This weekend we are off to Ohio.

The hikers have returned.

The boys returned Monday early morning from the vacation.  Andy said they were great travelers, and they had a really good time.  I've posted all pictures on our family website, but here are a few favorites.

They were set up with new toys and lots of candy for the journey.

This is Andy before traveling with Sam and Trey for 6 days.
Many of you know that Andy took S & T to Colorado for their first hiking/camping trip.  They began their journey on Wednesday and shall return hippyfied by Monday.  ( Maybe Sunday, depending on how they are doing.)  Let's hope Monday.  My house is sooooo peaceful.  AAAHHHHHHHH.  Here are a few pictures of them leaving in the 'camp van', as Sam referred to it.  I can't wait to post their pictures when they return.
