Ben's parents came up for a visit this weekend and brought along three of our nieces and one of our nephews. They came into town on Friday night and are leaving Monday morning. It has a been a bit hectic (we aren't used to having so many people around) and a lot of fun.
Unfortunately I have had the sniffles this whole weekend which has probably not improved my overall hostess abilities. Despite my cold, we did do some fun things, none of which I took pictures of. You're just going to have to trust me when I say that everyone was enjoying themselves.
Having his cousins around has not been a humbling experience for Connor. His cousins think he is very funny, so when he says things like I'm so funny and I'm too cute, they mostly just laugh at him. This does not encourage him to stop saying these things. Having big kids around has given Connor a chance to talk incessantly to someone other than me and Ben. For this we are most grateful. Having his Grandpa and Grandma around has also made Connor really happy. He just likes having them around and is already talking about how much he will miss them after tomorrow.
Sophia has also enjoyed having so many cousins around. She has numerous laps to sit in and has taken to just throwing herself at whichever cousin (mostly Mercy) she wants to hold her at the time. Sophia has also proven my theory, that it would take her less than an afternoon to have Grandpa completely wrapped around her finger, correct. I realized that she had succeeded when I found him outside pulling her around the yard in our wagon again and again. What I didn't realize is that three of her cousins would also take turns pulling her around until her little heart was content.
It is always good to get to see family and we can't wait until we are able to go back to Topeka and spend some time with everyone.
So glad all are having a good time!! Hope you feel better soon!!
