Mark and I just got back from a trip to India & Nepal. We had a great time and loved seeing so many of our favorite people in the world. It was H.O.T! When we landed in Delhi at 9 pm the pilot announced it was 106 degrees outside. Did you hear me? 106 degrees at 9 pm! Oh my!

Just some random pictures.


Mark riding on the roof of the car...because everyone else was doing it so why not.


We missed the boys so much and it was so good to be home and see them. Colton started walking while we were gone. My mom (who had been watching the boys...bless her heart) tried to down play it and say he wasn't really walking, because she knew I would be upset if I missed his first steps. But when I got home and saw how good he was I knew he must have been doing it all week.
OK, so it is really hard to get a good picture of him walking. He is so random with it and I always seem to just miss it. Actually, the picture below would have been a perfect shot of Colton walking if Adam didnt jump in front of the camera at the last minute.
Adam was selected to play on the All Star team for his league. This all happened at the last minute and right before we were leaving for the trip. So my poor parents had to drag Adam to all his practices and to his big game. My dad sent me this picture of Adam in his new uniform right before the game. We were so sad we missed it.
As soon as we got home, Mark went to pick up Adam since he was just finishing up his game. Mark and Adam got home and Adam got in our bed and started to cry so hard...I mean big ol tears...sobbing. I thought something horrible had happened. He then informed us that he did not miss us at all and he wanted to go and live with Poppy & Gigi forever. Wow! That hurts! :) But I was so thankful he had a good time while we were gone and obviously well taken care of.

I thought I had commented on your blog a while ago but I guess it never appeared. The pic of you and Mark is SO GOOD! I bet it was nice getting a way with no kids but I know you hated missing Colton's first steps. He's so cute!

Nikki, your hair looks amazing. How wonderful for your parents to love on the boys so you could go on the trip. It doesn't seem possible that Colton is walking...please stop time for a bit and let us just breathe. Our boys are growing up too quickly. Much love to you!
