Fun With Family

This past week my older sister, my nephew, and my mom came to visit for a few days. It was a lot of fun to have them. The weather was great, so we were able to take the kids outside to do a lot of fun stuff. We went to see our baby chicks (all 24 of them are still alive), which my nephew loved. We are excited to have chickens for all the fresh eggs, and it will be fun for Abigail to get the eggs with me everyday and to feed and water them. While they were here we also went on a walk, flew Abigail's new buzz lightyear kite (that was her first time doing that), the kids rode the tricycle (they were learning how to do it),we went to the park and played and had a picnic. We also were able to have some fun making homemade cards while all of the kids were asleep. I really enjoyed that because I don't usually have someone to do it with. We ended up taking my sister to camp to show her around because she had never been up there before. As we were driving up a big pine tree had fallen across the road so brian had to walk into camp and get a saw. He cut it down in no time and we were on our way. That's my mountain man!!!!! My sister and brother-in-law are professional photographers so she took over one hundred pictures of Josiah. We had fun trying different things and he was so cute. He was smiling and giggling at my mom most of the time. He is such a happy baby. The little trunk that you see in the pictures is something Brian made to hold all of his muzzleloading stuff. He did a great job on it and it was fun to use for this. We also used his leather for the background that he uses to made quivers. Then in some of the other pictures Josiah is laying on Brian's snowshoes. Josaih is only four months old now, but he is wearing some 18 month clothes. I can't believe that!!!
Abigail and my nephew had fun together, but it was challenging at times because they are learning to share and get along. But for the past two days after they left Abigail keeps saying that Aunt Tiffy went bye bye, Grandma went bye bye, and Cley went bye bye, and that they will come again to see me. This last trip she really became Aunt Tiffy's shadow. It was so cute!!!
