The Aunts Go Marching...

A few weeks ago (okay, a month) we got to spend a little time with Nathan and Olivia's Aunt Kelley and Uncle Chris. They weren't able to visit long, but we enjoyed having them here and letting them snuggle with Livy. You'll have to excuse Kelley's platinum locks...her stylist needs to re-review the chapter on dyes before she touches someone else's hair.






We also enjoyed a slightly longer visit from Aunt Ashley who flew in from California to meet her niece and play with her nephew. Olivia and I went to pick her up from the airport and even though I really worried about how it would go (lady bug is not the best traveler) she did great and slept most of the time. With Ashley visiting and the lure of the grand babies as strong as ever, Lolo and Momo and Popo also made the trip up here. While they were here Jimmy and I managed to sneak out for our first date in a long time. Hooray for relatives! Olivia was a little fussy that weekend with so much activity and Nathan mostly played with Popo as usual. Aunt Ashley tried to play with him but for some reason he was kind of mean to her all weekend and insisted that he didn't like her and would get mad if she tried to play with him. He was probably bummed she didn't bring her dogs, although if he ever met Jude (her 75 lb golden-doodle who thinks he's the size of Prince, her 20 lb poodle) in person he would change his mind. He loves dogs but is only used to small dogs and gets a little freaked out by bigger dogs who want to get in his face (which pretty much defines all dogs). Anyway, hopefully he'll be nicer to her at Christmas!













In between the aunts visiting, Grammy came to visit. You know what that means! Laundry gets done, dishes stay washed, dinner gets cooked and kids get snuggled. Oh, and Jimmy and I get a hug or two in there as well. My babies are so blessed to have such wonderful grandmas and aunts to love on them.
