Skelly Visit

I couldn't help but pick the picture that tells the best story of our last few weeks.  My big sis and her family came to stay with us and our house was......LOUD. I think we were all surprised in the end how well it really went, and we really are all still friends.
We got to know baby Jill, who is the quietest baby I've ever met.  The boys taught her how to be crazy like them and Braden managed to get her to grab his face and make grunting noises. It was hysterical until Jocelyn realized she forgot to push the record button on her camera. The grand prize video was lost forever.
Gage and Nick by far had the hardest task. They gave up their room and helped entertain when boredom would strike.  By the end of the journey they were not only hearing their names from Mom and Dad, but Uncle Andrew and Auntie Jocelyn were often calling on them for help. I know they secretly wanted to pack one of them in their suitcase.
Someday I need to ask Beth, "What is it like to have all these older cousins who truly adore you?" I guess you really don't need to wear a princess hat because being adored in this way is what makes you know deep down that you really are a princess.
