Aunt Jan Comes to Visit!

"Look at me, I'm a big girl now!"

This past Wednesday my Aunt Jan came from California to meet Tessa and spend time with Kyri and Aubry at Grandma Nancy's. They all had a great time together and Kyri thought it was really cool that Aunt Jan is the big sister and Grandma Nancy is the little sister just like she and Tessa are! Aunt Jan took tons of pictures of their adventures together so here a just a few...

Tessa spends a lot of her time in the Jungle at Grandma Nancy's house.

One time, Grandma Nancy and Aunt Jan found Tessa like this in her jungle!

She rolled over for the first time!!

(That's the only time it's happened so far, but we'll keep watching for more rolling!)

The group went for a nice walk and ran into one of Grandma's neighbors. They were invited into his backyard and got to see his fish. This neighbor's backyard looked more like a park, and they spent all morning there!

They were worn out on the way home, so they snuggled up in the wagon.

But were full of energy when they got home and made time for bubbles!

Aubry and Kyri love dressing up like fairies these days...just like their idol, Tinkerbell!

This fairy got caught in Grandma's flowers.

This fairy got caught in Grandpa's shoes!

The next day, they traveled to the Morton Arboretum and had fun playing in the rock river.

Then everyone met back at Grandma Nancy's for dinner Friday night.

Kyri loved the soft grass. (A little different than our grass!)

Then on Saturday, we went downtown to Lincoln Park Zoo. We were debating whether we should chance it because rain was predicted for the whole day, but we went in the afternoon and it turned out to be a beautiful day! So glad we went!

Tessa smiled the entire trip!

She LOVES going on outings these days.

Kyri and Grandpa petting a bear!

This was Grandpa's first trip to LP Zoo!

That silly smiler again!

(Such a difference from the first month and a half of her life!)

What are these?

Even TB loved looking at all the animals.

Kyri had a whole conversation with this turtle.

But her favorites were the frogs in this tank!

A beaver!

Tessa preferred watching people over animals!

GREAT Aunt Jan and her GREAT nieces

We had a great time with you, Aunt Jan, and are so happy you were able to come visit! We'll miss you but we hope to see you again soon!
