We always enjoy when the families come to visit us for the kids' birthdays, but with lots of people in town, it can be tough for the aunts and uncles to get good time with the kids. So Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Maria came up the weekend after Myla's birthday party and we had a great time.
It's tough at times being so far away from our families and early on we worried that the kids wouldn't have close relationships with their extended families. However, thanks to webcams, cell phones, and family that make the dreaded five hour drive through central Indiana, our kids seem to be as close with their relatives as any other kids. They get really excited when people come to visit or we drive back to KY.
If you come visit, you better be prepared to play with the kids, read to them, and have them snuggle into your lap without warning. You can tell from this picture that they were as happy and as comfortable as they could be with their aunt and uncle.
Thanks for coming all the way up to visit us!
