PA, Day 3

Michael got this picture of us. I was amazed! It is almost impossible to get both children looking (normally) at the camera. It only took him 3 shots! I really like this picture. Thanks Mike! Oh, and no, we didn't color coordinate on purpose. It just happened.


Day 3 was church day. We went to the big program that Mike and Leta's church has for children. It was fun! Afterwards, we had lunch and a relaxing afternoon.

While getting ready for church, Daddy had some coffee. Livi needed some too! I can't blame her. Uncle Michael makes really good coffee. I make mud!

Olivia had to wear bracelets just like Mommy.

She chose to taste them all first. Not like Mommy!

The man in the picture with Kevin is Dave Barr. He and his wife lived right behind Kevin's family in Africa (if I'm remembering the story correctly). They now live in PA...about 3 minutes from Mike and Leta.

Surprisingly, Olivia went right to him!

However, not for long. She adores being with Daddy!

Katrina got to ride in our car on the way home from church. She was hiding and I got her picture. She's a sweetie!

That afternoon, Julia and I decided to paint our toenails! Julia did mine and then UNCLE KEVIN did hers!! She really liked this!!

Kevin didn't think he'd do well, but he really did! I was tickled that he did this for her!

Matching toes!

Olivia really enjoyed her Uncle Michael! Even more so once he caught on to Livi's favorite sitting place....shoulders!

Oh, adorable story. Jonathan and Benjamin were inseparable the whole week. They played constantly and slept in the same bed each night. On Sunday night, Benjamin came downstairs very upset. He said that Jonathan didn't want to sleep with him anymore and that he was very sad because he really wanted to be with Jonathan. Apparently Benjamin must have misunderstood something because Jonathan was very concerned when he found out that Benjamin thought this. He came right downstairs and cuddled Benjamin. You could tell that Jonathan was thinking very hard about what to say.
He told Benjamin that he really enjoys him and wants to have him upstairs with him. He even made a little plan about how to sleep. It was so sweet to see Jonathan console his little cousin. I cried.

(notice how sad both of their little faces are)

They got everything all cleared up and then headed up to bed. It all worked out in the end. Here is the result.



God is so good to bless us with our family. To give my little Benjamin such nice cousins is amazing!
