The boys and I headed to Maryland to visit the cousins in our neighbouring nation.  <\/p>\n<p>With only packing head of us for the next weeks, I figured that boys and I would take a mini trip before the madness began.  Two new cousins to meet, many more to play with and lots of uncles and aunts to kiss, and Grandma&#8217;s food awaiting&#8230; Maryland seemed to be the obvious destination.<\/p>\n<p>We left early Saturday morning&#8230;counted the hours down and finally reached with most of our sanity.  The boys were exceptional great.  They were actually quiet most of the trip.  I kept looking back to make sure they were all there!  <\/p>\n<p>We left Sanj home to keeping bringing in the cash so we could spend it!  \ud83d\ude42  We also left him to enjoy some quiet time and reflect on bachelorhood a bit.<\/p>\n<p>We met and thoroughly enjoyed Baby Wilo (my brother&#8217;s 3 child).  The boys enjoyed holding her and remembering the days of babyhood ruling our household.  We celebrated Jaelin&#8217;s 5th birthday&#8230; many times.  Eli had a house full of boys to romp around with.  I think all the kids had fun hanging out though I think the cousins were worried about the boys eating them out of house and home!<\/p>\n<p>The days were full of different activities&#8230; and seeking ways to survive the crazy 100+ degrees weather!  YUK!  The boys enjoyed the pool times a lot.  We had lots of good food, Grandma&#8217;s truck load of food, Aunt Reg&#8217;s famous lasagna and yummy French toast.  We had Crispy Creme donuts&#8230; and lots of cake&#8230;. birthday cake!<\/p>\n<p>We ended the trip  abit short after being totally tucked out!  The last day was spent with Sanj&#8217;s cousins, their husbands and all their little ones at the pool.   We had a great time.<\/p>\n<p>Then before we knew it&#8230; the 12 hours back to HOME!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A half a dozen duffle bags, a few sleeping bags and pillows, iPODS, gameboys, movies to last many hours, 6 kids and a mom slamming the doors to the 12 passenger van full of very expensive gas all equals a &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/?p=263\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
