Visiting with My Family!! (Part 1) (Really Part 2..)

I haven't blogged in so long it is shameful. Truly shameful. It's almost August and I haven't blogged since MAY!! Ugh.

Anyway, lots and lots has gone on since my last blog. Soon after the Hoefers visited (maybe it was the next weekend?) We went to Tallulah because Claire and Evie were there! That part is the next blog, though. After staying there for a little while, we all went to Atlanta (see this blog.) Or Roswell. Whatever.

By the time we got to Roswell, Evie had accepted that Cora was here to stay and decided to love her. She's such a great cousin!! We put them in matching outfits and took pictures.
And learned not to come between girls and their binkies (or pacies in our house.)
We went out to eat and feasted on delicious French food. Evie feasted on everyone else's delicious fruit salad, but that's ok. She brought Doudou #1 and Doudou #2 for the occasion.
And then, Evie got sick. We had thought the whole time she had been teething and that's why she was fussy. After a visit to the Children's Hospital ER, however, it was brought to light that she had an ear infection in each ear!! Poor baby!!! She and Cora took it easy after that and chilled on the couch.
In addition to Claire, Evie, Mom and Dad visiting, we had the special treat of Will visiting too!! We hadn't all been together since Andy and my wedding three years ago!! Uncle Will met his little niece Cora for the first time. He wasn't totally comfortable holding her. That'll have to change someday!!

Uncle Will wouldn't believe how much bigger Cora is now!
ALSO VISITING: Great Aunt Ann (OR Great Shug if you're in the know) and Uncle Jim!! Shug flew from Ohio and Jim flew from London! It was a crowded house and we loved every minute of it!!
Uncle Jim showed Cora his best flying arms moves.

Evie, the crib climber, was such a good big cousin to Cora! She wanted to be with her always. Except for when she didn't.


Even the Shug got in on the love and hugs action!
Sadly, however, everyone had to leave at some point. Who knows when we'll all be together again! I can't wait, though!
