So hard to say goodbye

We've had such a fun time with the Vegas Rasmussens this week. They were here all week with Anna's family at a beach house in Newport. We had fun going to the beach with them and hanging out. Ethan and Luke really enjoyed playing with their cousin Adam in the ocean and holding baby Jake. I got to be Anna's first "trash the dress" model (I think). I squoze into my dress and we went out to ocean, climbed on the jetty and waded through the water. It was an adventure! We had a small crowd watching and even got a few bewildered comments. For anyone thinking about participating in the "trash the dress" movement I highly recommend it. I know my dress is still in great condition and I personally can't think of a better way to put my dress to use 6 years after having used it in my wedding. Anna is a great photographer so I know the pictures will turn out good. Last night they came to our house and played and had dinner. Steve and Allen played lots of guitar hero. I'm so glad Ethan, Luke, Adam and Jake got to know each other a little better. We were sad to see them go but we're looking forward to going up to Nevada next weekend for the Whittaker's baby blessing and seeing Grandma and Grandpa Rasmussen, meet the new addition to the Whittaker family - baby Alyssa - and spending more time with family. Hurray for family!!
