The Pierrel Pack: Meagan and Tatum's visit

We were so happy to have Meagan and Tatum down last weekend for her 30th birthday. It was a crazy weekend but we had lots of fun. Marshall and I went down to my sister's house in Friendswood for the day on Thursday because we had to pick Meagan up at Hobby at 6:30 and I just did not want to deal with I-45 at 5:30. My sister, Misty, has a pool in her backyard and it was a beautiful day so Marshall and I went swimming and enjoyed the change of scenery from our blow up pool in our back yard. Meagan's flight was a little late but we got her and Tatum safe and sound to our house around 8:30. My dogs were so excited to see another little person and tatum kept saying "Uh oh, puppy." It was very sweet and so cool to hear Tatum talk. I hadn't seen her since her birthday in December and she has definitely changed a lot. We put both kids in the bath and didn't put them to bed until around 9:30 or so.

The next morning we got up, ate breakfast, got ready and headed off to the zoo. I expected a crowd because it was a friday but we had to park at the museum because it was soooo crowded. It was a VERY hot day but I think the kids had fun and were definitely worn out; they both took long naps once we got home. That evening we went to Allison and Curt's house to play and swim with Brooklyn and Colson. All the kids had fun in the pool except my little guy who loved playing in the dirt, of course!! We had a very yummy dinner and then let the kids get a little out of control on the mats(pics below). It was a late night again but thankfully both kids slept late the next morning.

The next day was Meagan's 30th birthday!!! We just hung at my house for the day and enjoyed seeing our kids play together, although there were a few times they didn't quite agree on things. That night Allison came over and we all went out without the kids for Mexican food and Margaritas. Nick was so wonderful to agree to watch both the kids while we were out, but we didn't leave until Tatum was already asleep. It was nice to hangout with my two college roomies and make new memories aside from the crazy ones back in the day.

We joined Allison for church on Sunday for Mother's day and then sadly we had to take Meagan and Tatum back to the airport. It was a hard good bye because they are moving to Virginia in June and I don't think I will get to see them for a while. Marshall, on the other hand, I think was glad to have his house back to himself. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend and I am really hoping to plan a trip to see them in the fall if I am brave enough to attempt taking Marshall on a plane.
