Smith Family Visit

This past weekend we had some guests in from out of town.  My mom's brother Norm, his daughter Kelsey, our cousin Lori and my sister all flew in for the weekend.  We rented a beautiful home 1/2 a block up from Greenlake. It was a wonderful weekend with family that we love and don't see nearly enough.  Overall we didn't do much - we relaxed, reflected on memories from our childhood, and thoroughly enjoyed an evening of sharing memories of our grandma.  I truly wish the weekend could have been longer - Cole adored everyone that came to meet him.  After a couple hours of "being shy" he broke out of his shell and started talking and smiling at everyone.

We wish the rest of our family could have come for the visit as well, but we completely understand that life can be quite hectic sometimes and getting away is just not a possibility.  I'm hoping to make a trip to CA to introduce Cole to the rest of his extended family some time this summer.  

Here are a few photos we took from our weekend.  My cousin Lori took tons of great photos - I'm hoping we'll be able to get a couple to post on the blog...
