A Visit to the Cousins Before Josie Arrived

We snuck in the last possible visit to our cousins in Kansas before their new little sister arrived.

We had a wonderful time playing.

I hope that I also gave Nancy just a few extra minutes of sanity and sleep before Josie took some more of both away.

Here is my only picture with the whole clan... sorry it is not great.

David and Gus were always off scheming, and I think Dominic (or at least his great smile) is allergic to cameras.
Seriously... he (or portions of him) are in 5 of these pictures. See if you can spot him!

We took a Dog-and-Wagon trip to the park around the corner.

The kids basically lived on their backyard play set.

T loved watching over the 4 young ones, and Patch and Berna were quite the pair!

We had inside adventures as well.

It was hard to disconnect David from the Lego table.

P and B were absolutely adorable one afternoon as they played family.

They kept calling back and forth to one another: "Mom!" "Dad!". It was SO CUTE!

We even broke out the swimming pool and the kids took a very chilly dip!

To top it all off, we had our last meal at a great little diner where the kids got conductor hats

and trains brought us our meal!

It was a great time... now we just need to get back there to see Josie!

Love, Us.
