"Cousins"

Adam is so lucky to have Natalie. We love her and her family. She is one of 5 girls in her family with one brother. All 5 of the girls are very sweet and attractive. It was fun for us to find her sister Lori was pregnant and due only two months after Sarah. Following her progress and waiting for Anthony to be born was exciting for us also. I think it was on December 5th or 6th. He is just the sweetest little boy.
Natalie had a great weekend when Rachel, Lori and Francie all came to visit. Three nieces and nephews and Lori's huband joined them. The only problem was they didn't stay long enough. The girls had a great time painting pottery with Natalie.
First they all came to Oakwood church. I don't know how they did it, but they were right behind us on the freeway and prompt and on time to Sabbath School. That was pretty good for all those adults and children to be ready and drive 25 minutes and arrive on time.
It was the first time that we met Anthony. He is just adorable. So much hair, and he looks just like a boy.

The two kids met for the first time also. Are they just not the two most adorable babies. And just think, they both have the best auntie in the world, Auntie Natalie......And notice the appropriate pink and blue. Those two moms look pretty amazing also.

This is Leah in SS. She seems to really be paying attention. My good friend Lorraine plays the piano in Cradle Roll, so it gives me an excuse to visit her and see Leah in her class at the same time. I can even help with the piano if Lorraine is not able to be there. Seems like I was just down in Cradle Roll with Adam and Sarah. Dan keeps making the statement, "things were easier back then". I have to remind him to think before he says that....

Our good friend Cynthia knit the adorable booties that Leah has on. There is a matching pink sweater but that is a little large yet. Leah has so many beautiful outfits in her closet and most of them were gifts to Sarah. How blessed we are to have such great friends and family who were so generous to Sarah and David. We have only had to by a few sleepers since she outgrew several. Every now and then we pick up something really unique that we can't resist. I got some great headbands for her off the internet. Hopefully we will get a picture of those soon.

That's a cute picture of the cousin-in-laws! I can't believe how much longer she is than him, and only 2 months older!

(Yes, we were pretty proud of ourselves for making it on time too!)

I'm actually pretty shocked that we made it on time!
Sabbath school was pretty interesting... I told Nat that I about cried listening to Dan tell us about his father passing when Dan was only 21!
It was great to see all you guys!
Oh, and great job on the piano!

You notice Anthony is sound asleep in the pictures, that's because he was awake till 3 am, and we still made it to ss on time.
Next time we'll have to stay longer. I would have loved to come for the auto show, it sounds like a lot of fun, but 2 weekends in a row is too much traveling. I don't know how Natalie and Adam make the trip so often. It's really a long drive.
I'm glad I finally got to see Leah too, she is so cute. It was neat to see how much a few months makes in their developement.

I wish I didn't live so far away! And, you are so right in daying the babies are lucky to have Auntie Natalie AKA Auntie Nay-Nay.

She tends to be the favorite all around so far.
