Our week with the Jamiesons. . .

Our friends from Scotland came to visit us this past week. We had way too much fun and I didn't want the week to ever end. I really didn't want them to leave us - I threatened to hold them hostage in my basement but somehow they snuck away. We are missing them so much. Kalem misses Eilish TERRIBLY. He has talked about her everyday since and gets the cutest little twinkle in his eye when we mention her name.

Fiona called me the night they got home as she was up with Struan at 3am suffering from Jet lag. They seemed to get over it pretty quickly here so hopefully things have settled back down for them now. Here are some pictures of our fun, busy and chilly week with Paul, Fiona, Eilish and Struan.

(Kohl's Children's Museum)

The kids had a blast at the children's museum. Kalem had a meltdown on me but that's ok, it was just the start of many more to come throughout the week (thanks buddy)!! Love the kid but he was hard on me this past week and in time out A LOT.

Saturday night we headed out for an evening in the city. Thanks to my friend Rachel who offered to look after 4 kids that night!!

(sorry you guys I had to post this picture)

We ate dinner at Gibson's Steak House- AMAZING food and this dessert was delicious and as you can see really really BIG!! The four of us couldn't even finish it off, although we gave it our best effort. I left the restaurant feeling like I gained a few Lbs in a matter of a couple hours. Well worth it though.

After dinner we went for drinks on the 97Th floor of the John Hancock Building. The view of the city was incredible. This photo doesn't do it justice, you will just have to come and see for yourselves.It was such a fun night. I love going on dates with my husband and friends- I decided that needs to happen more often.

Sunday we went to the neighborhood Halloween Party.

(hayride - Kalem and Eilish didn't enjoy so much!!)

Trevor took Monday off so we went to the city and took the Architectural Boat tour. Loved this - Seriously, what a beautiful city!!!!!

a 1 minute train ride on Thomas was the highlight for these 3!!!

I had to take Fiona and the kids to the pumpkin farm since the whole Halloween/Pumpkin thing isn't as big of a deal in the UK as it is here.

And on their last day I sent Paul and Fiona to the city on their own and the kids and I chilled at home and played outside. They had a great time and we did too. Here are some pics of these cute kids. . .

Of course the week went by way too quickly and before we knew it, it was time for them to leave. We are still sad they are gone. We miss our nightly chats and just having them in our home and hanging out.

We feel so lucky to have had our second visitors from Scotland and we haven't even been here a year. To all of our other family and friends there is always an open invitation- you are welcome anytime. We promise you won't be disappointed. We can even send you references if you don't believe us!!
