Fun: Family and Friends

Along with our fun at the park we have had some fun with family and friends. On the 26th, the first Saturday in our new house, we had our first (aside from those that arrived with us) guests. Aunt Patty and Uncle Roger came down as well as Mike, Pat, and their grandson Noah. None of them live really close to us but are a lot closer now than they were before!


Emily and Noah first met last September and they wasted no time getting re-acquainted.
They had great fun together being sprinkled by the fountain,
checking in on the duck family,
and picking flowers.
They were also earning their dinner with a little yard work.


Emily appreciated having Noah's help outside...
before they went in to tackle the trains.
It was about that time that Emily opened her birthday gift from Uncle Roger and Aunt Patty - a beach cover up! Perfect!
Noah thought it was pretty snazzy too.
As they say, all good things must come to an end...
but not before a GROUP SHOT!
"Farewell Noah, come back and visit! Oh, and bring your cousin Jack too!"
Then, just like social butterflies we spent Sunday afternoon at Uncle Kevin and Aunt Patty H's house! The burgers were DELISH...
the company was great...
and the fun to be had was all over.

Emily had a blast swimming in the pool and really loved the "boat." So, since we were invited, and they live so close, we might be spending some more time floating around over there. :)

  1. Good times. Good times. Love that you're finding great people/family to spend time with. Now we won't have to worry about your social calendar and you or Emily being lonely without all your Texas buds/family. You're in good hands from the looks of it. :)

  2. You've only been there a few weeks and already have had company, I'm impressed! :) How nice you have family with a pool who lives so close, I'm sure you'll be over there a lot! Emily sure looks like she enjoyed playing with Noah! Is that fountain in your yard? Beautiful!

  3. Wow, what a great post of fun with family and friends. Noah and Emily sure did have a blast together. He still talks about his beautiful friend "Emany." Thanks for having my little guy and his Mimi and Pop-Pop over for a visit (I was working that day...sob). Can't wait to come back soon and check out that great park of yours! We will definitely bring Cousin Jack, too...

  4. By the way, what does Noah have on?! This is what happens when Daddies dress their sons. I am so embarrassed. At least he had a nice winter coat for the evening (sigh).

    *Could Emily be exhibiting some of her mother's cleaning/organizing traits!?! Life's too short, SIT DOWN!!

  6. SO happy to see your family close by!! I love that Emily is using her little laptop from Sophia. Could she be a future blogger as well?

  7. That's so fun that you have family nearby! I also can't believe you already had company - Emily sure looked like she enjoyed her visit with Noah. It's so fun seeing what you guys are doing so far away in CA - we miss you!!

    Love
