A trip to South Valley Park with Aunt Vinnie, Uncle Craig, and Cousin Oliver

My cousin Oliver moved to Boulder in January and his parents came to visit this month from Indiana.  I was so glad to be able to spend time with three of my very favorite family members, and so was Fiona.  After our walk we went to lunch together and I totally forgot to get pictures there.  But a lovely time was had.

Sitting in the driveway pretending we knew where we were going.

Cheerful women in the back seat.

Aunt Vinnie & Fiona

My super cool cousin

It was a rainy, muddy day which made everything very green -- or very green for Colorado.

That's a really loud print I'm wearing, isn't it?

Uncle Craig and Oliver mirroring each other.

Fiona in the wilderness.

Cousins together.  Fiona really enjoys Oliver -- though it takes her a while to start talking when she hasn't seen him in a while...

Thank you Aunt Vinnie! (and Uncle Craig ;))

Stickers

Lilly and Fiona hard at work

Lip gloss -- Fiona opened it and said "It's beautiful!  Also, the view of the mountains from our back yard.

Mark and Fiona with sidewalk chalk -- our plan for the morning.

Some fancy paper(ish) dolls -- Fiona's already working on them.  :)

A chalkboard mug for me and a zipperpull/backpack creature for Fiona -- She's named the creature Mrs. Sun.

Picture frames -- just right for Fio to have a picture of each parent when she is away from them.

A very fun calendar to color -- we've been enjoying working together on it.

It's so much fun to get packages in the mail!  We love you and miss you and Fiona sends love to Pup.
