Kate and Drew

Will's cousin, Lilli, and her two boys, Drew and AJ have moved back to California after being in Indiana for 4 years. They are currently staying just a few blocks away from us at her parent's house while her husband finishes up his last rotation for optometry school in Chicago. Over the past week we have had the opportunity to hang out. Drew and Kate have now become good friends and they love to play together. Drew is 3 years old so he shows Kate around while Kate just follows what he does. Thanks to Drew's Dedushka, he has a very cool playhouse that Kate loves to go in and out of.

"Momma, can you put down the camera and help me reach the hoop?"

Exploring the backyard

Rocking away!

Cute little AJ is 10.5 months old. He was trying to get in on the fun with Drew and Kate. He actually climbed up on Kate a few times and whacked her on the head. Kate didn't seem to mind....she just stared at me like "Momma, what am I supposed to do?" Drew wanted to ride the rocking horse with Kate...Kate wasn't too sure about that.

We are so thankful to have Lilli and her family back in town. It is so fun to watch the kids play together and it is great to finally have a stay-at-home mom nearby. :-)
