Welcome Home to America


 AT LAST...Jackson, Cage, and Brandt, Sheldon, and Reagan are HOME!  These cousins were happy to welcome the other cousins home.  This was also the first time Weston, Brandt, and Blair all met.  We are absolutely thrilled to know that Sheldon and his family will be living closer and that we will get to spend more time with them.  Nonnie and Pappy had a welcome back to America party with cute decorations, good 'ol barbecue, and American colored cookies.  The older cousins just dove right in to playing together and enjoy each other's company At one point, Nonnie was outside with them and got to just listen to their sweet conversations.  It seemed the babies got along just great. It is only a matter of time and they will be joining in with the big ones or forming their own little group.    It was a little WILD but a FUN WILD.   Reagan and the boys stayed for a little over a week while Sheldon went back to Germany for a short bit.  We were glad to spend so much time with them and got to do some fun things together.
 Brandt and Blair hanging out while the bigger kids were outside.
 Pappy and Nonnie had a fun backyard surprise for the kids.  Pappy was very thoughtful and waited until all of them were together to fill up the new sandbox.  They love that sand!
 Lunch outside
 Dora and nap..I think Brandt was already asleep in the other room and I don't know where Cage was.
 We also went over to Josh and Lyndsie's house for more family time.  Blake had his water slide, slip and slide, and pool set up.  SWIMMING was a success. 






 We wanted to get a group picture of all the cousins...successful that we all the eyes towards us but not easy.  It sure is sweet though to see them together!
Nonnie is holding some happy boys. 
They came to our house for a little visit on Saturday after running errands.  New toys are always fun to play with so the kids had a great time!  We also enjoyed some yummy food that Zack made on his Big Green Egg.
