Our Weekend Visitors!

Well, we had quite the surprise this weekend. We were expecting my parents and Sarah, our dog, to come down to see us Friday night. Noah and I were waiting outside for them to arrive, and when they pulled up, they informed me that they had a stow away: My newphew, Julius! I was so thrilled to see him, and was really excited Joe and Chelsea let my parents steal their son for the night to see us--we miss everyone so much! So we had a blast playing, and watching Julius and Noah play together (they are going to be such buddies!)

Yay! Our little stow away!
Julius loves this toy: it blows air through it and pops little plastic balls up into the air. Noah loves it but can only watch. I think his cousin was showing him how to chase after them :)

Noah was happy as long as he could bite on the edge. It made the balls hit him in the face a little, but it was so cute :) And he didn't seem to mind. Julius is going to be so gentle with his little brother, Jonah, like he is with Noah. He's a great big brother and big cousin!
"Sarah? Uh-oh, Sarah?" Julius is trying to figure out why we won't let his buddy Sarah come inside to play with him.

Well we had a blast playing with Julius, and a few hours later, the doorbell rang. All I saw was a baby carrier sitting on our doorstep--My nephew Jonah! Joe and Chels were waiting around the corner of the garage for me to find the little present they left at my door. What a surprise! They decided (on a whim, because they are both pretty spontaneous) to just take a family trip! It worked out so well-we got to see our nephews, they got to see their nephews, and of course we all had a blast hanging out and catching up. It had been so long since we'd seen them and we were really missing them. They even brought their dog, Coal, to keep Sarah company in the back yard!

Brian got a surprise later when we showed up at his office. Julius came running down the sidewalk to see him with his daddy trailing behind. Brian was so excited for the surprise!

Watching the fishies at the mall aquarium. We all went to look at the fish and let Julius run around and wear himself out.

"Pa, do you think we could go fishing in there?" Asked Julius.

"Well," said Pa (grandpa), "Maybe not. But we'll take you fishing soon."

Joe looked around with a tear in his eye. "What about me, Dad? Do I get to go?"

"If you behave," Pa (grandpa/dad) answered.

"Aunt Chelsea, will you put a diaper on me? Mommy lets me be naked too much."

Beautiful babies...and baby buns.

Indecent exposure? Joe and Chels changing Julius on the park bench. We all went to the park on Saturday afternoon. It was a lot of fun to run around with Julius and hang out at the same place where mom and dad used to take us as kids when a younger version of the Meduna family was living in Salina.
Sweet baby Jonah all snuggled up with his Grandma.

Thank you all sooooooooo much for the wonderful visit! We had such a blast!
