Visitors

We are blessed with wonderful family on both sides.  This month we have had the chance to see both of Matt's Aunts from Chicago.  

Over Mother's Day weekend Auntie Barb came into town with Matt's folks to see us, meet the twins and enjoy their second birthday.  It was so much fun seeing her ~ it's been 4 years ~ and letting the kids get to know her.  We talk about her and now they have a face with the name.  Unfortunately the kids were a little "over done" in the picture department by the end of the weekend when I realized that I hadn't taken enough pictures of them with her.  But I thought this picture below was a great one with Garrett.

Can you see all of the books in Aunt Barb's lap?  There were at least 4 here and she had already read 2 or 3 before.  She was such a trooper and didn't turn him down.

This weekend we had the treat of seeing Matt's Aunt Renee and Uncle Ken.  They too live in the Chicago area.  They stopped by Saturday night and had dinner with us.  Avary talked Aunt Renee into a game of Candy Land, in which Garrett and Claire proceeded to help with the cards.  Everyone had so much fun.

Then today we all went to breakfast and on a little shopping spree.  The shopping took a bit out of me, there are just too many options, but the kiddos all got a new toy thanks to Aunt Renee and Uncle Ken.  The weather today started off gloomy and muggy, but it turned out sunny.  So before they left I grabbed the camera and took a few quick pictures of everyone.

Below is a picture of Claire with her treasured new toy ~ a purple ball.  She has hardly let go of it since we left the store.

Thanks Aunti Barb, Grandma Meryl, Grandpa Bob, Aunt Renee and Uncle Ken for coming into town to see us.  We love having visitors and we are so happy to see you.
