Yeah!!! The Cousins are Here!!!

We are so excited that all the aunties and uncles and cousins arrived in WA late last night. We are all a little tired from the late night last night. Today was a fun day of all the kids getting acquainted, they all played so well together and just love seeing each other. I think the hardest part is saying good night at night, no body wants the visiting to end, including the kids who seem to think that they shouldn't have to sleep even though they are extremely grouchy and yet still try to maintain that they are indeed "not tired!" Oh well!
I posted a couple pictures and will post more as our/their trip unfolds. I'm going to try to stay updated as we are going to have tons of pictures of their visit. It's so good to have them all here. It's been 5 years since we've all been together, and most of our children haven't met. As you can see in this picture, there are 8 children, 5 and under. So we are a rather immature bunch. We are a force when going places, not to be reckoned with. Thankfully they are all absolutely adorable.
I just have to add how terribly cute Guenna and Lily (she's 3 1/2) are together. They are very close to the same size, and she is at least 4 inches shorter than Eamon (she's about 4 months older than him) Either we make big babies or they make small ones because our kids are a lot bigger than theirs :) Except for Oliver, he's really tall. Well, we better get to bed. We have lots of plans for the week, it should be lots of fun!

How fun!!! I love the pictures, who is the adorable little guy with all the blonde curls? I love them!
Enjoy the time together, I know as my (“extended”) family gets bigger and bigger, the times when we are ALL together get fewer and farther between (I think it’s been four years now…oh wait, no, we were all together a year ago at my sister Lexie’s wedding). :)
Blessings,

Catherine, That’s Andrew’s middle son, Dan Joseph. I told him at the airport that his Daddy and Uncle AJ got their blonde curls cut off on their second birthday. (Dan’s second birthday was Oct. 6) Andrea said, “I know I should give him a haircut, but I just can’t do it! :) He’s so cute, isn’t he? I always knew it was time to give AJ a haircut when people started to say, “He’s too pretty to be a boy!” :) Andrew’s hair was just as blonde, but not as curly as AJ’s was, though I don’t think AJ had as many curls as Dan!! I might have trouble cutting his, too!!
How cute! I am so excited for you all, have fun together!
