Jenny's Visit

Mary's sister came to visit us (okay mostly to see Jane and Mary and to help out). It was so fun having her. She flew in on Thursday night and left last Tuesday evening. She came with no kids. We love her kids, but it was a unique and very rare opportunity to have her to ourselves for 5 days! Sarah and Nathan loved having her around and it was cute to see how excited Nathan was to see her each morning or when he woke up from a nap. Even though I don't think he had much of an awareness of who she was before she arrived, he took to her pretty quick. We enjoyed playing games in the evening or just talking and had some adventures while she was here as well. Here are some pictures of her visit:

We got some good pool-time in while Jenny was here and the weather did not disappoint, reaching 100 on one of the days. Sarah and Nathan loved playing with Aunt Jenny in the pool!

The kids wanted Jenny to do a lot of the bed-time stuff and we appreciated it as well. It's funny though, when you're doing it sometimes you're tired and you just want it to be over so they can go to bed. But when someone else is doing it, you love being a "fly on the wall" watching your kids. They loved having her read to them, this was definitely a regular thing, not just at bedtime.
By the end of the day, I think Jenny was pretty worn-out. Sarah was "reading" her books at this time and Jenny did exactly what I do when Sarah reads to me - fall asleep! When she left us we were sad to see her go, but I know she was excited to see her boys! To see more pics of her visit go see Jenny's blog

Okay, so after finding pics to post, I realized that we have a serious problem. When family comes to visit to help, we usually don't get a picture of them with Jane (this is now the case with both Jenny and my mom.... arrgh, sorry!).
