Visit with Nana and the Uncles

We spent a few weekends in Calvert County this fall! When we went down for my cousin's 30th birthday we stayed at Nana's to get in some extra play time!! Ryan came over and spent the afternoon playing with Elisha and had dinner with us.  It was so nice to spend time with the family and spend some time walking along the boardwalk! 

Elisha had a blast! 

Tummy Time with Nana! 

He's a Big Boy Now!

I like to smile for Uncle Ryan! 

Story time with the Uncles!

He loves his Nana!!

Family walk along the Bay :-)

It was a great time! 

Our last Summer Extravaganza

Twins! I can't wait to watch them grow up together! 

On Labor Day weekend we went to the beach with 2 families from our small group.  They are like family to us and it was so nice to spend the last weekend of "summer" hanging out and watching the kids play.  We stayed in a condo with the Ernest Family and it was quite a hoping place.  With 4 adults and 4 kids in a 3 bedroom condo we were packed in kinda tight but we had a blast.  We spent some time at the beach, but most of it swimming in the pool.  We also got Kohr Brother's Frozen Custard (my all time favorite!), and have great family meals.  

Noah and Faith loved getting to play with Elisha for the weekend!

He is always the first one to come and see Elisha and want to play! 

I'm glad that Elisha will have great boys to look up to in the coming years!

In a few years she is going to be a great babysitter! 

Andrew got creative when protecting his sunburned head from the sun. :-)

On our drive back from the beach we stopped at my Grandparent's house to visit Great Mommom and Great Poppy! It was nice to get to spend some time with them as well!! 

Laughing with Mommom!

Great Snuggles!

Play Time!!

It’s fair time!

This is Andrew’s favorite week of the summer! (In case you were convinced by that let me tell you it was complete sarcasm.) But I do love fair time!  We went to the fair for a few different visits.  On the first day we went to see one of the sheep shows.  Elisha got to go into the show ring with Poppy! 

Then we went back another day just to walk around and hang out.  Then the third day we got to go and see Great Mommom and Great Poppy! It was so fun to get to hang out with them and spend the day walking around outside and enjoying each other company! 

 

Uncle Louis

While on our Florida vacation Elisha and I had the privilege to meet Andrew's Great Uncle Louis who I have heard so much about.  His health has not been the best for some time now.  In fact, last summer (2013) he was not feeling up to having visitors so I was not able to meet him on our Flordia trip which just build my anticipation for this year.  When we arrived he was quick to find Elisha and was overjoyed when he saw him.  It was beautiful to see his reaction to the next generation.  I am so grateful to have spent some time with him talking about Kassouf family history among other things.  Uncle Louis is like a grandfather to Andrew and his brothers and I know he cherishes any time they can spend together.  It was a great added bonus to our Florida vacation!
