Cousins, Aunties, Uncles, Grandparents

Last night we headed down to Father B's hometown to spend some time with his family and get better acquainted with our new nephew, Andrew! I am super glad that Laura has some cousins, although they can't really play together yet. My relationship with my cousins is something I value strongly and although she won't have as many as I do, I hope that they too grow up to be good friends.

I also love being an auntie. Aunts and uncles are generally like a cool version of your parents; you usually get to do fun things when they're around, and they aren't on your case like your mom and dad! We are looking forward to when we can have Lilly (or the Lillster, as she's known at our house) and Andrew over for some cousin fun and sleepovers.

Here is one of my favorite moments from last night. Father B was having a LOT of fun laying down some beats on the Lillster's keyboard. She thought it was great, as evidenced by the clapping...the rest of us were remembering that episode of Friends with Ross playing the keyboard.

Here is Laura having some good times with her Uncle Scott. She liked the fun singing game he learned at ECFE class! See...uncles know cool things that your mom and dad don't.

And here's Laura with Grandma Janelle, and another of cutie Andrew. His eyes were wide open most of the night!
Thanks for letting us come to visit...let's do it again soon!
