Friends and Cousins and Parties... Oh My!

We had another play date with Samuel and Ethan this past week and it's amazing how quickly everyone is growing up. We attempted to get some pictures with all three kids but while Sammy was all for sitting and holding Molly, Ethan had another agenda and wasn't as keen on anything stationary.




We also had a family birthday party for Molly's Grammy and her cousin Erin this weekend. Her cousin Megan continues to be enamored with Molly and was so proud of herself when Molly was fussing and she was able to calm her right down by brushing her hair.



Erin was as busy and funny as usual but found some time to hold Molly. She also had lots to teach us about the solar system and continents. I got schooled on the moons of Saturn and Jupiter.

John also got into the party spirit

And finally... here's Miss Molly waking up from a nap. No stretching but she's playing pensive baby.

We're looking forward to visiting with another of Molly's cousins next week when Molly goes on her first plane trip to Arizona and then to Florida. She's excited to meet some more of her aunts and uncles as well as her cousin Katy. I'm sure a story and picture or two will come out of that trip!
