In late July/early August, my brother and his family came for a visit. They live in New Mexico, so their visits are a treat for all of us in Tennessee. My kids couldn't wait to see their cousins! We spent a couple of days hanging out with them. On one of the days, we took the kids to a nearby pool. They had so much fun playing together!

We also had an early birthday party for my youngest nephew. He will be turning two in September. All the kids were super excited about digging in to the cake.

My Favorite Boy has learned how to Skype his Uncle. Now that they have returned to New Mexico, we look forward to regular computer chats until we get to see them again in person!
