Corbin takes April and boys to Florida to meet Ryan

Ryan had to leave the first weekend in January to start his next semester at school in the Grand Caymans. April, Emmet and Weston got to stay until the end of January when Corbin flew with them to Florida where Ryan met them and then took them back to the islands. The trip went well and everyone arrived home safely.
What a proud Dad. Glad to get our family back safely to you. Thanks for sharing them with us Ryan!
We will miss you guys! Take care of each other and don't let those boys forget us!
What a ham and love that dimple!
You are a sweetheart as well! Love and miss you guys!

We will miss you Emmet, Weston and April

These are some last pictures we took of Emmet and Weston before they returned to Grand Cayman to be with their Dad. It was bitter sweet. They have been with us since the day after Thanksgiving and although it's been a very busy two months, it was awesome to have everyone here and this time we will always cherish. What cute boys and such personalities. They will grow up way too fast. Conner will miss having someone about his size to hang around with.
Kiss for Emmet
Kiss for Weston
He'll change way too fast before I see him again.
Emmet already has changed so much. I will especially miss that adorable dimple of yours!
Keep hugging that pillow!!

Family pictures while everyone is here!

You cherish every moment you have when you get all of your family together because as they grow up, those moments become harder and harder. Even though this was not professionally done, these last minute family pictures turned out pretty well. Each complete family picture becomes so precious, so thanks everyone for getting together for this one and thanks Corbin for the new camera for my birthday, that didn't do too bad taking these pictures!

Ryan, love that grin! Glad you are here instead of the Caymans!
