Helaina's First Slumber Party

This weekend the Archer family traveled from Indianapolis to visit our family in Michigan. After a long day at work and then a rather long drive, Ryan, Katie and Aiden finally arrived around midnight Friday evening. This was the first time Ryan and Katie had visited us since Aiden was born. This was also the first time that Helaina had an extended overnight play date. Aiden is now 4 1/2 months old, and he is such a SWEET baby! Helaina is a busy body these days, but she managed to spend some quality time with her buddy Aiden. Since the births of our kiddos, life has become increasing more busy for both of our families. So Randy and I couldn't be more thankful for the time Ryan and Katie were willing to spend with us. We have a weekend of wonderful memories, and some really special ones for little Aiden! He managed to reach some important milestones while visiting us!

Thank you again Archer family for visiting us!
