New Cousins and Aunts and Uncles

At the very start of the new year we had a wonderful visit from Aunt Becky and Uncle Joe. The kids talked about their coming for days, especially Isaac. We didn't do anything particularly exciting but play around the house and park and got caught up on everyone -their company was enough to make everyone happy.

Keila was particularly attentive to Aubrey and did all she could for her little cousin's happiness.

Kent and I got to love on their newest addition, Emily! I could not get enough of that baby smell and it was so fun to coo back and forth.

Good food, good company and a few late night chats was a great way to start the new year. When they left Isaac cried once more (his attachment level to those he loves is always that way - I hope it doesn't change!) He and Keila hunted all over the house for the caramels that Uncle Joe hid for them. Ironically it was Leora who found one 2 days after, she was simultaneously sucking and chewing on the still wrapped candy, dripping and smiling happily. WE're so grateful they take the time out to travel our way to see us especially with all the weather difficulties. We must do it again next year and remember to take more pictures!
