We always enjoy spending time with our cousins and friends, Josh, Samantha and Lilly Kate...what a wonderful way to spend the eve before Liam's 3rd birthday! Since they were in Louisville for Josh's work, Samantha and Lilly Kate were kind enough to drive out for dinner (missed you Josh but we'll all get together sooner than later, hopefully!). It didn't take Lilly Kate long at all to warm up to everyone. Before you knew it, she and Liam were outside playing in the backyard with the swingset, sandbox, bubble machine (what fun for us to watch them chase enormous bubbles) and Billy! Yes, Billy....he picked both babes up, one in each arm, and ran 'round & 'round the yard in circles. Liam and Lilly Kate were laughing soooo hard as they jiggled and bounced up and down while Samantha and I looked on filled with laughter of our own.
Once inside, we had fun giving Lilly Kate her party gift from Liam's 3rd birthday party, enjoyed a dinner of spaghetti and meatballs and visited more before sharing farewell wishes. The time just flew by! Thanks for sharing your very precious travel time with our family...we look forward to our next visit together.

It's not easy getting together with those we love when we're so far apart by distance. I'm sure that these are treasured moments for all of you but especially for Lilly Kate and Liam. Time with family is so important in order to keep the bonds together from one generation to another. So glad that Samantha made the extra effort to make that visit possible.
We always enjoy our visits out to the "country" to see you guys. Lilly Kate still talks about the peep hole in the fence that Aunt Amy showed her and likes looking at the pictures of Uncle Billy running with them through the yard.
Oh and those wonderful meatballs made me brave enough to try a batch of our own... I think I'll try to slow cook them next time. Thanks for your hospitality as always.
