What a weekend!
First, A BIG HELLO TO THE HUNNIES OVERSEAS! The photos look great -H, can't wait to see more. Looks like you're having a great time.
Second: That was quite a weekend down in Owego! We were all the way to Seneca Lake last night when I almost screamed, "We forgot to take group photos!" John wasn't about to turn back. I hope you got a few shots after we departed, although I'm truly sorry we won't be in them. (Maybe I can photoshop us in. :D ) I have a mis-mash of shots I'll upload to Flickr. Can't wait to see everyone else's.
We took 17 to Rt 14 to the Thruway, and got home at 10 last night. It was a beautiful drive, but we were beat when we got in. Poor Noah was thrilled to see his own crib. He really was a trooper. He's almost back to himself this morning, and saying, "Hey" to all we come across, including cats and dogs.
It was frantic, but is was great. Matt, please thank your parents again for letting us over-run their house. It was wonderful of them to welcome such a crowd. It was great to see everyone, and finally meet all the kids in person! We've got quite a clan erupting . . . a very personable group (if I do say so myself).
How was everyone else's trip home?
We'll have to plan a few vacation days together in advance next time - I'm looking forward to it already.

Yes, it was just wonderful to see all you guys and see/meet your gorgeous children. And we second Kristen's thanks to Matt's folks for so graciously allowing us to overrun their property! (And no, Kris, we didn't manage a group photo after you left - mostly in part to the fact that our little Unnapped Double Meltdowns couldn't stop crying for dinner, let alone a picture! :) )
Dave and I are telling each other "this will be SO much easier to do again in a few years!" :) Our boys managed to rotate crying on the ride home so I think we had about fifteen minutes of "cry-free" time - sigh - oh, well! Thanks to everyone for their hard work in making it work, and God's blessings to all of you. Here's to more Hunny reunions in the future!
We flew out yesterday, and the trip went well until Houston - the last leg of the journey. Storms arrived just after we did, and the plane we needed for Austin wasn't there. Anyway, our mild 2-hour layover became a 5-hour. We arrived at the house safe and sound at 10:30pm. Today is a recovery day for Jenn, Caleb, and Emily. I'm at work, recovering while wading through 500 work emails.
I realized we didn't get the group pic. It was too nuts to attempt it. I think Dave is right - in a few years. I felt bad that I didn't get a chance to spend much time everyone.
"Too nuts to attempt it?"
You have no sense of adventure, Matt. I actually think a photo of the group of us with kids running off and looking into 500 directions would have been perfect. Oh, well.
The day went great. Considering the huge change of schedule, all the new faces, and very little down-time, the kids did great.
The grown-ups didn't do bad, either!
I'm so glad everyone made the effort. Perhaps we didn't get to spend oodles of time together, but what we had was great.
