Then Dan's sister and her family came from Chicago for the week and it was the first time they met Bethany and the first time we met their daughter Emily born in December. Both of the little girls crawled everywhere and really enjoyed all the activity provided by my nephews Paul III and Jacob. The week was filled with visits to parks, walks and good food and then we spent the weekend at the cabin. The boys had fun going on a boat ride, fishing, sleeping in a tent and having a campfire. We drew all of the fun experiences with sidewalk chalk on our patio and it was funny to hear what the boys wanted us to help them draw. Bethany really liked Paul III because he would imitate her funny ah-ah-ah-ah noise and then she would "talk" back to him very seriously making the noise again. Paul thought this was hilarious so it made for lots of laughs all weekend.
Who knows how often we'll all get together, but we certainly made the most of this visit.
Here are some pictures from the past week and a half.
