Fun Family Weekend

This weekend my parents and sister, Leanne, came to visit from Bethlehem, PA. We couldn't have asked for nicer weather and we had a great time! They just love being with Katie and Ben and the feeling is mutual...Katie is always talking about Pop-Pop, Gram and Lee. Thanks for coming fam! We love you!

Cousins

Last week Andrew's brother and his family came to visit all the way from Houlton, Maine. We had a great time! Katie quickly learned all of their names and was so excited for her cousins to visit. We walked around JMU, saw the construction machines and band, went to the park, had some good meals, went to a fair and just hung out. Thanks for making the trip to see us, Tim, Amy, Malachi and Logan!

Katie's language skills are improving with each passing day so I wanted to get a video of her saying some of the sweet things she says before she learns the real words :) For instance, before a few days ago she couldn't pronounce "Daddy" and instead said "Daddabe." It was so cute! But now she can say "Daddy" and can't go back. I'm glad I caught a few of these on camera.
