We had an amazing summer, full of lazy days, swimming and summer play. But, by far, the highlight this summer was our time spent with Grandma, Papa, Uncle Micah and Hannah!
 
  | 
| 'Is that their plane???' The kids looking and hoping! | 
  | 
Sarah kept telling me she had butterflies! 
I think I was more excited! Even with camera ready, I completely forgot to take pictures of them as they came around the corner of the airport waiting area! Oh the hugs were grand! And a few tears too! | 
Here are some of the fun snuggles we got with Grandma, Papa, and Hannah...
  | 
| The best father (in law) in the world.... | 
  | 
We hadn't seen Hannah for a couple of years! Sarah 
had no idea Hannah was coming and was so surprised when she saw her! 
 They had so much fun together! | 
  | 
| Oh the silliness! We laughed so much! | 
  | 
| Such a beautiful picture! | 
  | 
Micah was pretending like he was looking in Ellie's ears with her doctor's kit. 
Ellie and Eli LOVED their time with Micah! | 
  | 
| Papa was getting smothered with hugs from the boys! | 
  | 
| Micah, Andrew and Grandma snuggles | 
Since Grandma and  Papa, Uncle Micah, Hannah and Aunt Kimberly (who wasn't able to come :( )
are so far away, we rarely get to spend our birthdays together. So we decided to have a gigantic birthday for the cousins! Each one got a round cake with their name on it and with a decoration that matched their personalities! It was so so fun!
  | 
| Blowing out the candles... | 
Tracie (my sis) and her hubby and kids, as well as my Dad, joined in the celebration!
  | 
| My sister's sweet baby Wesley | 
  | 
| Eli and Pop | 
  | 
| Eli and Aunt Tracie | 
  | 
| Wesley lovin' him some cake | 
Here are the kids with their 'personalized' cakes...
  | 
| Hannah with flowers and her favorite colors... | 
  | 
| Sarah had a rainbow cake... | 
  | 
| Andrew with a Ninja Turtle cake... | 
  | 
| Eli and his baseball cake... | 
  | 
| Ellie loves flowers (and my niece Rylee next to her!) | 
Oh we were so sad when it was time to say Goodbye. After we say our family off to the airport, we all got in the car and cried. It was such a huge blessing to have them come and see us. 
WE LOVE YOU PAPA, GRANDMA, MICAH, HANNAH, and AUNT KIM!!
