Cousins!

What a special treat!  My cousins (above - Hailey, Jordan, Addy, Jenna, and Emily) and aunt and uncle came to visit us for the weekend from Denver!  It was so great to hang out with them and have them HERE!  We did lots of chatting, hanging out, playing with the girls, went down by the Lakefront, out to eat, to the zoo, ice cream, etc.  So fun!  The girls were bawling when they left this morning as they had so much fun with "George" (Jordan) and 'Enna" (Jenna) :)  Thanks SOOO much for coming you guys!!!  
Here we are at the Lakefront (Emily, Addy, Hailey)
Steve and Ryan having swing competitions at the Lakefront. :) 
The whole gang (minus Ryan) at the zoo.  
I REALLY didn't want them to leave either!  The extra help, extra hands, and extra entertainment for the girls were fabulous! :) 
The "quadruplets" :) 
Jenna and Addison...she is SO good with babies! 

Then, Monday night, Grandpa and Grandma Dooyema came over to see the girls since they missed them so much when they were in Africa!  They came back bearing gifts - 3 Maracas!  Too bad the girls started whacking each other with them and one of them busted after having them for only 2 minutes! :)  I had always wondered what the inside of those things looked like! :) 
The girls missed Grandpa and Grandma a lot too.  Emily clung on tight.  Don't go again Grandpa!! :)
