Cole meets his Wisconsin Cousins!

Cole and I went to Wisconsin to help Tara and family while she had her 5th baby! I was a little worried going from one very active Cole, to 5 kids! But Tyler, Scott, Tessa and Zach were SOOO helpful and awesome, they made it easy!

After a HORRIFIC plane ride (I will never give Cole Benedryl again!!), we made it to Verona and started a fun week!

Cole loved to be with so many kids and with all new toys!



He loved all of his cousins and made sure they knew it with all sorts of hugs!





He, apparently, also became nostalgic for his old car seat, and filled his need by sitting in Brynn's.





He was very interested in new baby Brynn. We have to teach him to touch softly and not to poke her eyes!

Jon joined us for the weekend and we had so much fun. We were sad to leave, but we also had a fun surprise waiting at home....GRANDMA WAS BACK!

Tara and Micah's Visit

Tara and Micah came to visit the last weekend in July. We had a great time and Cole loved his aunts! It was cute-he always reached for Micah and would always have to have at least a hand on Tara's arm.

We played tennis (tried to...), went swimming, went out to dinner, played Ticket to Ride and just had a great time! I wish my siblings lived closer; that way we could have fun all the time and Cole could know his cousins!

We are excited for Thanksgiving when we can go see Trent and Wendy and the boys! I have a feeling that Cole will think Isaac is great (and maybe learn a few marauding tips!)
