Family Fun
Addison was introduced to some fun family members this week :
Aunt Pam (yes, her skin is really that beautiful in person. She's gorgeous.)
Uncle Darren (who she sort of looks like she belongs too)
Auntie Karrie (a cousin on Mark's side really, but Auntie works for us.)
and fun-loving cousins Will and Kate!!
What a week! It's been so beautiful everyday so we've spent hours and hours outside. Ben had a BLAST with his cousins, especially William who is just a few months older than him. They played so well together. Mark made the comment, as he, Karrie and myself sat on a blanket watching the kids, that it seems like just yesterday it was their parents sitting on a blanket watching them play. Time surely speeds up as we get older, it blows me away how fast it goes by.
It was a special treat having Darren and Pam here for a conference conveniently just a few miles from our house. We got to see them, sadly no kids and no Settlers, but they are always so fun to visit with. That Pam, she's a hoot.
Today the four of us went to the lake a few miles from our house. It was so much fun! Ben loved playing in the water and then on the playground. It wasn't crowded, the weather was PERFECT and Addison slept soundly in my sling. We did have plans with Carrie and the boys which were postponed (hope you're feeling better Carrie!!), but if I couldn't be with them, then this was the best plan B ever. It was a happy day.

I loved hanging out with you guys and your kids. It would definitely be fun to be around Ben more often, but I'll just savor the memories I have.
Love you!
