Vanisi Visit

A couple of weeks ago my sister and her family were able to come visit. They had to come to California for other reasons and we were lucky to be near enough to have them for a few days.
Waf has a magnetic quality about him (much like Santa) that draws kids to him. We went to a scrimmage of Ty's one night and Waf had probably 10 kids in a near-by baseball field running around him, being swung by him and clamouring for his attention.

The weather was nice for us and awesome for Suzanne and family who left the never-ending snow of March. We walked around the ponds a few times and loved being outside.

This is Leki in the Lupine. I was amazed how much Leki had grown in such a short time. He turned 4 in December and is taller than Ellie!

This picture makes me laugh. Carter was throwing a MAJOR fit and had thrown himself on the ground kicking and screaming. It was just Suzanne, Enos, Carter and I on this walk. I told Suzanne, "Let's just keep walking and let him throw his fit." We got to talking, looked back and both boys were as content as can be... putting sand and rocks on their head. Still haven't found that magic solution to the Carter fits yet. Maybe I should carry rocks and sand in my purse.

Carter and Enos had, by far, the best time. They are about 9 months apart and T-R-O-U-B-L-E together. It will be interesting watching them through out life. They loved playing together then would start fighting over a toy. Then would forget about it and go back to being best friends.

We loved having them for a visit and are excited to see them again when baby Aisea arrives!
