VA trip: The end

Tuesday was our last day before we left VA so we hung around the house and took it easy. There was a big storm in the early evening that day and since we hadn't done much I decided to strip Elliott down and let her play in the rain. Since we really don't get good rain like this in Utah. She was a little hesitant at first (especially when the thunder boomed) but she warmed up to it and loved it! 

She is such a sweetie. 

We had such an amazing time in VA with my family. We really, really missed Josh. It's always hard being away that long, but we got to talk a bunch and FaceTime which is always so wonderful. I loved seeing Elliott fall in love with my family. She definitely knows Josh's family better because most of them live so close, so I was overjoyed to spend so much time with my family and for her to fall in love with them. She calls my sister "namie" which just kills me. On Wednesday, during our long day of traveling, she asked for Jamie constantly! It was so adorable but also made me so sad that we had to say goodbye. Hopefully it won't be long until we're together again! We love them all and already miss them like crazy! Here's to hoping we end up living somewhere much closer! 

Puddle jumping and pink toes! 

One of my favorite parts of the whole trip was family prayers each night. Elliott got so excited and would rush over next to Mark on the ottoman and fold her little arms. They were so sweet. It made me so happy. Of course when she was smiling my camera decided to focus on the dumb lamp. But I got a cute one below too. :)
