Super fun week :)

This week we had our aunt and cousin over from across the country! We had SO much fun with them! It was especially nice for them to visit because we haven't seen them in a few years. :(

~Cousins~
On our last day with them. :(

Our grandparents came up today to take them to the airport. Before they left though we all went bowling! It was lots of fun... even though we're really bad at it! Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!

Some other things we did while they were here....

Our aunt taught us how to make real hula hoops... and how to use them. :)

Ian and Chris hooping.... or something... :)

Bunnies!

They were also a HUGE help in transporting all of the instruments to the nursing home... it just happened to be scheduled while they were here and I don't think we could have done it without them!

My sweet sister :)

We went go-karting at a neighbors while they were here while was really fun! :) Seth and I were watching...


We were so sad to see them go today, but it was such a blessing to get to visit this week.

As I was thinking about missing them today, I realized how special each person is if you take the time to get to know them. If we moved from here, we would really miss everyone! What a good lesson that we should love each of God's children as much as we possibly can while we have them, because you really never know when you could lose someone.

Alright, I'm off to practice piano before solo and ensemble tomorrow.... looking forward to that being DONE!

Have a wonderful weekend!
