Jay & Kristen had their annual weekend getaway with friends at a cabin and their children spent the weekend with others. Kristen's parents had Clara, Josh & Julissa had Alexis & Lydia, Shawn & Melissa had Mark and we had Hannah & Janae. The weekend went splendidly and I think everyone had a great time wherever they were at.
I guess I'm getting lazy but the easiest thing for me to do is just post some of the weekend activities through pictures. Hannah & Janae were wonderful and it was especially fun to get to know Janae a little better. Until now, she has been a little hesitant with me and just left her older siblings have my time. But she totally warmed up to me and was an absolute delight.

| Sticker time! |
 |
| Full concentration from Janae :) |
 |
| She is pleased with the end result. |
 |
| Hannah did a beautiful job putting the stickers on the butterflies. |
 |
| Hannah also put this puzzle together (almost) completely by herself |
On Saturday afternoon, Megan worked the store so Jake spent the afternoon with us. Hannah went with the other cousins and played games over at the shop that Josh & Julissa had planned for them. They also did some roller skating. It sounded like they had a wonderful time. Janae and Jake got along very well.

| At first Janae watched Jake eat his cheerios.... |
 |
| …..then she decided to help him eat them! |
 |
| Jake stares intently as Janae shows him how the toy works |
 |
| At one point I went down to the store to help a little. The kids loved being in the cart :) |
Hannah would like to raise sheep, so Steve thought it would be fun to take her to one of his Amish friends and have her bottle feed a lamb. She loved it!
 |
| Meeting the lamb |
 |
| Hannah never stopped smiling the whole time she was feeding it |
Here is a short video of Hannah feeding the lamb.
It was a fun weekend for everyone but I think the siblings were all glad to see each other and Mom & Dad on Sunday and Mom & Dad were glad to see them. And Grandpa & Grandma were happy to go home to a quiet house :)
