Memorial Day & Family Reunion

They're here!!! They're here!!! We've been waiting since they moved away years ago, hoping and wishing, that someday, somehow, they would return... and the day has finally come. Connor's Uncle Beej (my "baby" brother), Aunt Stacy, and cousin Olivia have moved back to PA from Colorado. It is quite honestly one of the most exciting things that has happened since Connor was born. Olivia is only a year older than Connor, so they are going to absolutely love being together. Today we were anxiously waiting when they arrived after 4 days on the road. Despite the utter exhaustion I'm sure they were feeling, we all had a great time in the sunny weather. The first of many, many family cookouts to come! Look at those beautiful eyes on little Livvy - I can't get enough of her!

The new playhouse in Grammy & Pappy's backyard was a huge hit

Olivia was telling me "Its splashing my eyes! Its splashing my eyes!", and then, of course, continuing to splash and laugh

The water-spouting beach ball - total entertainment. Connor would stand right in front of a spout and get sprayed by freezing cold water until he had to run away as fast as he could. Then he would run right back with a huge smile on his face.
