Judy cousins!

Jared and Gina moved to Delaware a few weeks ago (yay!), and we all crashed their place this weekend. The kids had a blast hanging out together, and they put Mom-Mom to work keeping them busy (and happy) like reading the many books they brought to her lap...
Poor Isaac doesn't get to run around with the other three yet, but he sure seemed to enjoy having his big sister Leah and bigger cousin Kate around him. And they were pretty excited to try to entertain (or tickle) him too. His belly laughs were priceless!
The bigger kiddos spent a good amount of time coloring together too. The phases of "coloring" were amusing: Kate diligently working to color the creatures on the page and sharing crayons with Leah and Evan; Leah talking excitedly about the fact that she was coloring, but mostly she just enjoyed being there with her cousins and holding a crayon or two or ten and helping Kate pick a new color; and Evan who was more interested in peeling the paper off the crayons, and had to keep being reminded to keep the coloring on the pages, rather than the dining room table! Very cool to see them being "big kids" together though, very cool indeed...
This is a real horn from the World Cup in South Africa. Gina's dad was actually there, and they had this "instrument" there at the house. We were SO glad Kate was able to find it and test its strength. Take it from us, those things really ARE as annoying as they sounded on TV, even without her being able to fully understand how to make it buzz rather than just yelling through it!!
Sunday morning was spent outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Amid a funny toddler soccer "game" was a lot of sitting in the yard, picking grass, and general meandering about...
Cute lil' girls!
Here's a little taste of their little soccer shenanigans... and we all grimaced that our kids are almost to the age of getting into sports like this, knowing full well they usually resemble a little bit of what we've caught here on video, and we're not quite ready for that!
