Aunt Kim and Alexander visit

Aunt Kim and Alexander came to visit us and stayed for a week. It was a busy week with Julia (2 1/2 years old), Alexander (7 months old), and Andrew (7 weeks old) but we had heaps of fun! We were often out numbered since Thomas was working but everything went great. The first time Alexander saw Andrew he just stared at him and smiled, it was very cute. Before long these two little guys will be getting into trouble when they get together. Just to warn you, I posted a ton of photos from the week. :)


I love Alexander's big blue eyes. He does such a great job of playing by himself.


Alexander and his mommy. Alexander is playing with the Fisher Price school bus which was one of his favorite toys while he was here but it didn't make it into the picture.


This photo cracks me up because it wasn't even staged. There's no way we could have even gotten them to do that if we tried.


Andrew has been doing great on tummy time with lifting his head. Look at how high off the ground his head is!


On our way to the pool and Andrew, Julia and Alexander are all ready! I love the big smile on Julia's face. Julia always helps me out with Andrew and she did a great job of helping Aunt Kim with Alexander as well.


Julia and Alexander had fun at the little pool.


Alexander and Julia look so cute looking up!


Alexander loved playing with Julia's ball. Julia did such a great job of sharing her toys all week.


It was quite funny having three car seats in the car right next to each other. Good thing my car was in the shop that week and we had a huge Ford Expedition rental.


The two boy cousins in their car seats on the way to the mall. The car seats are the same and it's funny how Alexander is tall enough to cover the chicco logo and Andrew's head doesn't even reach the logo. Before long they will be about the same size.


Hanging out in Andrew's room in the morning. Julia is such a big girl holding her cousin Alexander and her little brother Andrew. Elmo even managed to get in the photo too!


It was a busy morning but we all had such a great time at the sprayground.


Julia with her sweet friend Cole. We meet Cole and his mommy through our Mommy and Me Outing playgroup.


Julia had fun at the sprayground, I just love the expression on her face.


Alexander enjoyed the little fountain at East Roswell Sprayground, it was the perfect size for him.


Andrew is dressed for a monster truck show while Alexander is ready for a black tie event.


One last photo of my sister and me and our kids before we headed to the airport. Julia was a bit sad when we dropped them off but we look forward to spending time together again real soon. What a fun week! Thanks Kim for everything...you're the best sister!

  1. Love all the pictures - glad to see that there was still room for Elmo with the 3 car seats. I like the one with them all touching heads. You and Kim have the same shirts on in the last photo, I only recognized it because I haven't worn my white one yet. Maybe I will save it for next year.

  2. That's because I have 4 of those shirts, too, Kim. The ones from the Loft this year are thinner and not as nice quality and the ones at Nicole's outlet mall, so I picked up 2 more there in July.
