A Wonderful visit with Aunt Steph and Cousin Leah: Part 1

A couple weeks ago, Adam's sister Steph came out with her sweet daughter Leah to visit us in Louisville. We had such a wonderful time with both of them and are so thankful to the Lord that they are a part of our family. Here are some pictures of our time together:

(Steph was one of the most amazing guests, in that she helped cook, clean, picked up around the house, helped with our kids, and even helped us weed our garden while she was here.) :-) Steph, your were such a wonderful guest that we already can't wait until your next visit! ;-)

Ethan greatly enjoyed both his Aunt Steph and baby Leah

Sweet Leah Bug... we were so glad to see you, since the last time we saw you, you were just a little newborn. What a sweet girl you are and how fun it was to see your cute little personality!

Playing in the backyard. Ethan had Aunt Steph set up a "train" for him:

All the cousins in the pool together

Emma trying out the tricycle for the first time

I got out the excer-saucer specifically for Leah,

but as you can tell, both Ethan and Emma had to join Leah in the fun:

Fun at the park: Leah and Emma checking each other out

Cousins swinging side by side

Ethan requested of his Aunt Steph numerous times everyday

that she show him the videos on her camera

Aunt Steph: The Pro

I have personally seen that Steph is definitely ready for a second :-)

Emma on the monkey bars!

How can you not smile when looking at this cute picture?!

Going for a walk around the neighborhood:

Steph, you are such a great, sweet mom. It was so fun to hang out with

you and see the amazing job that you are doing with Leah.

It is evident that you love her so much. And Adam and I were so

blessed to see the Lord's grace in your parenting in a number of ways.

Stare Down:

Love this one of Steph and Ethan. Classic looks on both of their faces ;-)

Trip to the Zoo:

Ethan having a little chat with his cousin:

Emma eating. A thing that you will often see her doing. ;-)
