Family Time...

We've been lucky enough to have 3 weeks of visitors... Which came in handy because I was in Germany all this week... First Grandma Judy came (we didn't get any photos of her and the kiddos - it just went too fast!). Then Aunt Amy came up for a few days while Aunt Judy was still here. Em, Amy and I got to have a girls night and we went to Philly and drank too much, stayed up late and gave Justin an over-dose on the Barth/Dosher siblings... We did get a few pictures of Amy and the kiddos :-)

 Sisters!

Can't help but love this kid!

And our attempt to get Auntie Amy with all the kids... Aven on the ground with Declan hugging her, Bria on the left and Stevie on the right...

This past week Grandma Sally and Grandpa Don came for the week... They helped Andy while I'm in Germany and the kids seemed to enjoy it!

Grandma and Aven...

Grandma, Aven and Stevie... Bria wasn't cooperating with us today...

Sisters and more sisters! My mom and Aunt Connie with the girls (L to R: Bria, Stevie and Aven)

Daddy and Bria... I love this picture and I'm so glad that Andy has his girl... One that loves him more then the rest of us... Aven is my girl (and most often this isn't a good thing), Stevie is Em's girl and now Bria is Andy's)

My week in Germany was good, but every time I am in Europe it reminds me that I'm glad I don't live there... Europeans just don't understand or value the concept of working mothers. And when they find out that I'm a working mother of 4, including triplets they generally look at me with shock or disgust. I know it's a cultural thing, but sometimes it really irritates me... Regardless, we had a great meeting and the location was beautiful!
