A Weekend with Hannah & Janae

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 :)
