Friday morning Poppa hid the Easter eggs and Aidan searched for them.

Early that afternoon, Mom-Mom, Momma and Ace left to go to Branson for the Women of Joy conference. While we were gone the boys went to Cabela's...surprise, surprise ;)

This was my 5th year to attend the conference, last year I was 6 weeks pregnant with Ace. This year Ace was 3 and a half months old. God is good!

This little guy was a trooper!

April 6

(Day 96)

Sunday morning we listened to one more speaker and then waited around for Daddy, Poppa and Aidan to come up.

When they got there we all hugged :)

and had lunch at the Landing. Then we walked around a bit and got some candy, ice cream and fudge :)

After being in AR for a week, it was SO hard to say goodbye. There were lots of tears shed, mostly by Aidan and Momma. Poppa took us to the Springfield airport to catch our flight back home.We had the best time with our family and we weren't ready to come back to reality :( But we are so thankful for the time we got to spend with everyone!

This picture captures their relationship perfectly. Aidan being silly and Ace soaking it all in and admiring big brother :)

April 7

(Day 97)

Since Sunday was a super late night we all slept in a bit and Aidan went into school late. Daddy took Aidan into school and Momma stayed at home with this little guy.
