if you hung around these parts last year,
you'll remember when the Ws came to visit us.
and, if you're fairly new, you'll probably remember
that Auntie L recently came to visit
without her munchkins.
well, all three of them made the trek again this summer
and we could not have been more delighted.
both the boys and girls are so close in age.
Auntie L,
(as my children refer to her)
was my college roomie.
she spurs me on with her incredible dependence on God.
she most certainly is a woman of incredible faith,
a woman who's biggest desire
is to strive after God's will for her life.
it's so inspiring to be around her.
Auntie L is so super talented as she
owns her own handmade baby goods shop.
the cutest blankets, bibs, burp cloths, and diaper clutches.
check out her fruit.
J is six months older than D
and is at least ten inches taller.
(notice D on his tippy toes!)
we made a trip to the
natural history museum
to check out the dinos.
this photo was when we were on our way in,
explaining the rules to the kiddos.
(and yes, the girls asked that their hair be matching.)
i was there, too!
D and K stood for the camera
while E and J showed us
their kung-fu moves
we loved the new exhibit
that just opened a few weeks ago.
i mean, who doesn't love dinosaur bones
hanging over their heads?
we saw nearly every inch of that museum,
even the ginormous whale-like dino.
plenty of bear hugs were given
and the microscopes were a big hit.
i think D may want one for his next birthday.
sweet, sweet E absolutely loved the children's area.
and K was cute,
even if she was looking
the wrong way in the telescope.
and this little man?
he was on his best behavior,
as usual.
more to come of their visit... tomorrow!
