More visitors!

Last week Hudson and Brooklyn were able to meet their Greatgrandma Van Essen. My Grandma and Aunt Marcia came out from the midwest to spend time with my kids and my sister's kids (and us adults too I think:) It was such a special treat to have them love on our kids for 4 days. Kevin and I even snuck out for dinner one night (while they watched the kids AND folded laundry....now thats a treat!). Thanks Grandma and Aunt Marcia for the help, fun, conversation and hair cuts!
Grandma Great with Brooklyn and Hudson. My Grandma has 23 grandkids and 33 greatgrandkids (I think I have that second number right). She loves babies and still gets down on the ground with them to play. It was fun to see her meet the babies.


Aunt Marcia loved playing with the kids too. She and Ethan had a whole afternoon together riding bikes, going to the park and playing football. Her youngest is a sophomore in highschool so I think she enjoyed playing with a little boy again. Ethan and Morgan adored her. Marcia's daughters are named Brooke and Morgan....I think we have similar tastes in names:) I would love for my girls to turn out just like hers, they are such strong women of God they are perfect role models!



Grandma Great and her California greats! Sorry Audrey, your little face is covered up in all the pictures.

Thanks for the great visit! We love you!
