My cousin and her two sons came to visit from Hawaii. Ally and Jesse are only 3 years apart in age and they always have fun together. They stayed with us for a few nights and then moved on to other friends’ houses. We met up again at my parents for a night as well.
They arrived on Thursday evening and Becky took Jesse and Ally to the park.
We made rice krispie treats for dessert!
Its Birthday Party month for us – Ally had party #1 to attend last weekend. Next Saturday she was invited to 3 at the same time! But we can only attend 1. Maya’s party on Saturday was at a “paint your own pottery” place. Ally had lots of fun. And on a side note, Maya’s parents commented to Becky recently that Ally was well behaved, and helpful to other friends and a pleasure to have as a guest! Yes we are beaming with pride!
After the party Ally and I and Cloey headed out to NY. Yes that is Cloey asleep in her dog bed on the seat next to Ally. About a mile from my parents’ house we were stopped by a train! It was pretty neat, and Ally counted over 200 hundred cars. It was very long, and not something that Ally had ever experienced before, getting stopped on a road for a train.
Sunday morning Ally curled up and watched TV on the ipad with Cloey.
On Sunday we tried bike riding – well learning to ride a bike on a balance bike. But Ally was in no mood at all.
Then she did chalk on the driveway and had a blast outside in the nice weather trying to reach leaves and running and jumping and cartwheels.
Monday morning she and Jesse took turns cuddling with Cloey, and then played Yahtzee! It was pretty fun.
The 2 cousins. It is pretty special for Ally to have them in her life, and I think its even more special that they all joined our family thru adoption, and yet look like so much alike. I think it makes these two feel pretty connected.
