Cousins

Last week my cousin and her family came to NC for a visit! They are currently living and working over in England so it had been a long time since we had seen them.

We got to meet baby Alex for the first time and enjoy playing with cousins Annie and Claire. Claire was showing off her excellent piano skills for us, while Finley and Annie were 'learning' how to play from her.

Last time we saw Annie she was just a baby! She has grown into such a fun loving little girl and cracks us up!

And Alex is almost walking now! He is so sweet and would frequent flash me smiles from across the room.

Finley had so much fun playing with the girls. Even though he couldn't remember them from our last visit, it was like instant best friends! And I couldn't get enough of their adorable English accents! I totally have a bad habit of talking in my fake English accent when around them!

We met up over in Chapel Hill at my parents house for just a short visit, but it was well worth it!

Mike was very intrigued by my dad's hunting bow set. He decided to give it a try, but alas it was too hard for him to get the string back. I told him he was just making David feel better since David also has not been able to pull back the string with the bow loaded. It is much harder than it looks!

These guys had so much fun together!

And I loved getting to catch up with my cousin.

They are going to be in England for at least another year, so we are planning to go see them during spring break of next year! I can't wait for a fun adventure!

We will probably spend a few days in London before heading out to the country to their place.

We had so much fun visiting we can't wait to do it again!

Thanks so much Linda and Mike for making the trip to see us!

We love you guys!
