My sister Rachel, her husband Tom, and their four kids came from San Antonio to visit with us and drop off the motorcycle that Tom sold to Keith. My parents also swung by on their way home from a visit in Dallas.
Tom took some time to show Keith a few of the ins and outs of the Honda Shadow that he so kindly gave Keith first dibs on before trying to sell it elsewhere:
Rachel brought a bunch of hair bows that she handmade for Avery and Addie. The red, white, and blue one happened to match Addie's outfit that day perfectly:
Addie's cousin Payden, whose Avery's age, just loves tending to Addie. She gives her her undivided attention, making sure Addie is happy and giving her a pacifier if she starts to cry:
The youngest of Rachel's kids, Declan, is three months older than Addie. He really enjoyed all of the toys that Addie seems to have no interest in yet. Finally, they're getting put to good use:
Avery was very concerned before her cousins arrived that they would try to play with her precious "Little People." She was delighted to discover that her cousins would be perfectly happy playing with all the other pluther of toys that she owns instead:
