Catching Up


Last week, Amy and Cole came in town for a visit.  We had a fantastic time, but it was not long enough.  I just love Cole (mostly because he cannot look at me without putting on a huge smile, flattering really)!  He's a soft, sweet, "talkative" 6 month old.  Lydia was not really interested in him (sorry Cole).  I guess she likes the older kiddos now (like cousin Emily).  Here's a recap of the visit. 
Cole and Lydia are glued to the Baby Einstein video.
Lydia shares her favorite game with Cole.
"Here lil' buddy, play with this one."

Weee!  Let's go for a ride!
Lydia just wanted to play with her ducky tub during bath time. (cute buns)
We finally got her in the tub.

Cole has tons of cute rolls.
Cousin Emily joined us for a sleepover at Nana's house.  She's the GREATEST babysitter.
Amy, Cole, me, Lydia, Emily, Nana, and Paca all spent the afternoon at the Houston Livestock Show.  The kids loved the petting zoo, though Lydia was upset that I would not let her crawl around next to the baby goats.  I took Emily through "Fun on the Farm."  




Emily and Amy with their dessert (caramel apple and cotton candy).
Even with all these pictures, we still missed so many opportunities to catch fun moments between the sisters and cousins.  We are so blessed to stay close with our family even when distance separates us.  Amy, Jeremy, and Cole, we'll see you in Indiana in April!

I agree... my visit was too short! What a fun time though! Thanks for having me at your house and for all the stuff that I borrowed from you and didn't have to drag through the airport.

Cole really loved Lydia's horse. He too would have been happy rolling around in the hay with the goats.

We can't wait to see you in a month!

Camille, Blake, Pierce and baby Asher

Looks like you had a lot of fun but I think Pierce is the man for Lydia... and know I can see how the cubbord shelf broke off the hinges.... she is getting so big... and has always been cute.

the cupboard pictures are soooo cute.

Rodeo looked fun, sorry that we missed it.
