Auntie Ang's Visit

Ang and Taylor



We had a wonderful weekend with Auntie Ang in town! Friday was awesome because I brought the girls over to my parents house for the day and Ang and I got a chance to have some sister time. We went to lunch and shopping!!! I love spending time with her, I only wish I could do it more often. The girls hung out with Busia and Papa and had a blast with all the toys they have at their house. The had three vanities set up in the family room. They also had the kitchen set and china cabinet filled with play food which always seem to get the most attention! Although the house is totally child proofed, the girls barely explore things they shouldn't with all the great toys to keep them occupied. Auntie Ang is an awesome photographer, so she took over 500 photos over the course of the weekend!
When Ang and I got home we took the girls outside because it was a gorgeous day! (We really have to take advantage of these days because they are very few and far between...even though we are well into Spring!)

BrookeLove this shot of Syd seeking comfort from Papa, she gets a little freaked out about the texture of grass. She will get used to it!TaylorSyd and MamaSaturday we had a great time just hanging out playing with the girls and again, taking many pictures! The girls love dancing so we pretty much always have music of some genre on. We are also spending more time running around the house instead of the majority of the time in the play room. The girls love hanging out in the foyer, there is always a lot of noise and giggles!

All dressed up and me looking mighty pregnant, 8 weeks to go!

My cousin Catherine and her fiance Kirk came up from Chicago for the night. It was great to see and spend time with them! Unfortunately I was not on top of it and failed to get a picture of them with the girls.

Brooke was interested in pretty much whatever Auntie Ang was doing and learned a lot from her over the course of the weekend. She loved her camera and couldn't get enough of watching her take pictures and then looking at them when she was done.
Brooke also now definitely knows what a cow is and says moo when we ask her what sound a cow makes. That teaching moment occurred when Ang was drinking a Spotted Cow beer. Brooke enjoyed holding the bottle, making the drinking face with her lips and looking at the label with the cow on it. She even learned how to properly make the Ahhh sound after a sip. Who knew one beer could teach so many things to a toddler. Now, to make sure she does not take a liking to it too early, who am I kidding she is a product of Chris and I, yikes!!!
It was a wonderful weekend and the girls definitely loved hanging out with Auntie Ang, we can't wait until June for another longer visit!!!
