Spring BREAK!!

Where to begin for this post.....we were so lucky this past week to have amazing cousin Elizabeth visit. It was her spring break from school, and a true break for us because turns out she is the most helpful and wondrous visitor a family could ask for. Avery & Cooper have so much fun with her and we did a ton of fun things during her visit. In fact, she was only planning to stay 3 days, and we convinced her to stay for 6. We can't thank her enough for livening up our spring and for all of the belly laughing the kids did. We love you!


We started her trip by going to a friend's birthday party at a play place - the kids had a great time! I jokingly told everyone that Elizabeth was my new full time nanny from Sweden and that she didn't speak any English.


Cooper plays with his friend, and Avery takes a quick ride with her Buddy Cole.





Elizabeth and Cooper enjoy a book together.



We even managed to go swimming with Elizabeth!
Avery had such a blast and tried to remember her moves from lessons last year.




Thank you cousin Jack for the new pool towel!
Not only is it adorable, it is also monogrammed. He has such good taste.


Look at this girl! Is there anything she can't do????


And then.....Avery discovered a movie designed conveniently to be at child level.
A movie. About. Poop.
She loved it. Watched it 3 times, and then asked if we could find a similar movie on youtube.
Her dad suggested that she might want to consider bring a gastroenterologist when she grows up.
