Monkey and Mister

We have been living in Nate and Britt's basement for the last month and a half, and although it seems like that would bring with it a lot of challenges, It has been so nice being around family. One of the biggest advantages, (besides meal planning and the fact that I actually get some adult conversation in the middle of the day), is that Kate has a buddy to play with!

She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her cousin Isaac and they have so much fun being together! I worried at first that Kate would get old to Isaac fast, but he has been so patient with her and it's been really sweet to see them interact. Kate has learned so much from him too! I have to admit it has been so nice for me to have a "live in" play date for Kate each day as we have been waiting for Summer to finally arrive so we can venture out into the world.

Here are some pics from some of their summer adventures so far...

Defending Fort Beeson from the evil beast Charger!

As you can imagine getting a picture with both kids looking at the camera and smiling was a challenge. But at least we know they were having fun!

Isaac and Brittanie went to Texas to visit her family this week and it makes me sad to see the confusion on Kate's face when we head up the stairs and he's not there waiting to play. It just isn't the same without our happy greetings, "Moeeey", "Keet", "Dadoo", and "Churgerr"!

Hurry home safe Isaac and Britt. We miss our friends!
