Visiting my sister

OK…a bit out of order here, LOL. Just before Dairy Days, Ethan and I traveled to Ohio for Ron’s nephew’s graduation. We spent a couple of days with my sister and her family. We spent a few hours with our dear friend Ashley and her son Mason and her niece Autumn (we missed you Kasey!!) at Sauder Village in Archbold, OH. It was a beautiful day, and we had a great time together!

We just have to chuckle (no…really LAUGH) out loud at the pictures of this darling little girl, Autumn. Oh she would NOT smile. But we had a good day, anyway :) My mom started babysitting for Autumn’s mom, Kasey, when Kasey was just a few months old. Kasey and her siblings (and parents) are just like family to us! We missed you at Sauder’s Kasey (well, Landon, too, LOL) Thanks for sharing Autumn with us for the day!

And oh, my gosh and melt my heart this little guy is a DOLL, too! His mom is Kasey’s little sister, Ashley. Ashley got to spend the day with us. Mason was a little freer with his smiles. Did we ever get our baby fix that day or what??? Glad to spend the day with Mason and Mom, although we missed seeing his daddy Anthony :)

Madi called stroller pushing!

Mason and his mommy, Ashley.

Autumn and Auntie Ashley…they were matching buddies!

We also met up with my best friend since 2nd grade, Beth and her kids. Daniel and Bekah are in the back row, with Autumn, Madi, Ethan, Jordan and Mason in front.

Beth and her kiddos.

LOOK…is that ALMOST a SMILE I see peeking out??? Maybe???

Ethan and Jordan were less than thrilled to go back to school :)

oh my stinking GOSH he is CUTE! And cuddly. And friendly. And I miss him…

This was RIGHT before that sheep said (VERY loudly) hello to us in sheep language (“BAAAAAAA”) and scared the living daylights out of Autumn. She was DEFINITELY not smiling then, the poor thing!
