A Visit from the Atwoods and Corneliuses

On Monday we drove to Auburn because we had family in town. My Aunt Connie and Uncle Chuck brought my grandparents from Missouri over to Indiana to meet the Junebugs. We had not seen them in over two years; when Lena was the same age that Eva is now: 3 months old. They offered to drive up here to see us, but we had no problem driving down there so that they wouldn't have to do that.

Aunt Connie with Eva. I love it when Eva poses like that!

Chuck holding Eva.

Eva meets her Great-Grandma Doris.

Aunt Connie got Lena some cake with pink icing at dinner.

Eva with her Aunt Hil.

Jim and Noah.

On Tuesday morning, Mom, Aunt Connie, Grandma, my girls and I all met on the square in Auburn to see some sculptures they have on display right now. It was a beautiful day for a walk.

Lena being goofy (as usual).

Grandma being questioned by the police.

Lena insisted on sitting on every bench we passed by.

Eva fell asleep on me as we were walking around.

Lena about to get hammered. ;)

Connie and her fix-it man.

We spent the afternoon at Grandma Sheryl's house. Here Lena is telling Cody to sit.

Noah in his cousins shirt. (It was a gift from Scott's cousins, but his other cousins love him too!)

Four generations.

Our growing family.

All of us except Scott and Dad.

My adorable grandparents.

My wonderful Uncle Chuck (aka Uncle Chunk) and Aunt Connie.

Hanging out at dinner.

Noah and his lion buddy.

Noah fell asleep at a restaurant for the first time that night at dinner.

Speaking of firsts, Eva rolled over for the first time at Hilary's house on Tuesday right before we left for dinner. She did it back to front, like Lena did. I knew that Lena rolled over about the same age, and today I got out her first year calendar and looked it up. Lena first rolled over at 3 months and 13 days; and Eva did it at 3 months and 11 days. So far I have seen many similarities in these two sisters.

Eva also chose Tuesday to start putting her feet in her mouth (1 day earlier than Lena did it).

Almost got it.

Mmmm, toes!

We had so much fun seeing Connie and Chuck and Grandma and Grandpa again. It had been too long. We are very thankful to Connie and Chuck for planning this trip and driving Grandma and Grandpa all the way from Iowa. We are going to try to plan a trip to Missouri next summer.
