Having your family around is truly one of the best things in the world! As I said before, Jeff, April, Pop, and the kids were all here for the weekend and it really makes you wish we were closer together so it could be like this all the time. It was so wonderful relaxing, catching up, and playing with the kids. Nicholas loved his cousins Alli, Jake, and Kami and chased them wherever they went. I'm sure he wished he was a little bigger so he could do all the fun things they got to do. I, however, am holding onto his babyhood with both hands!! :-) I can't help it!
Grandma had bought a bunch of fun toys to play with in the backyard. If you notice in most of the pictures, Nicholas is holding onto a Badminton racquet that he absolutely refused to put down. I'm not sure what caused the fixation but you could NOT pry it out of his hands for anything!
Here he is having a sword fight with Daddy!
We found a little lizard in the yard and let Nicholas investigate. The challenge was keeping him from squeezing it to death! We almost didn't win that one...poor little lizard!
And of course, you gotta have some time in Pop's lap....
...and with Uncle Jeff and Aunt April!
How I wish I'd been there! Everyone looks like they had such fun - except the lizard, ahem...
