Wisconsin

We just got back from a fun trip to Wisconsin.   We got to spend time with some dear family members and just hang out without much of an agenda.  The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves!  It's hard to pick a handful of pictures to share when there are so many special people and lots of pictures!

We had hoped to see our new precious nephew Emmett who was born on July 15 and is still in the NICU by it just didn't work out.  That was probably for the best since Emma ended up getting sick while we were there and we wouldn't have wanted to take any chances sharing germs with such a little one.  Thankfully, we did get to visit with Emmett's parents and we spent quite a bit of time with his big brother Owen!  

Lucas thinks Owen is going to be a GREAT big brother! 

 He really knows how to hold onto a baby!

Lucas also finally got to meet the Maher clan!

The kids had lots of fun playing with cousins!  Even Nathan who is the oldest by 4 years, enjoys hanging out with the younger ones and is always willing to help or entertain.

We spent some time with Great Grandma & Great Grandpa and got to visit with a few other relatives at their house as well.

 There was much playing, dressing up, running around, banging on drums, reading books, eating snacks, hugging necks, and generally enjoying being together!
