we wanted to get toby ready for a visit from uncle mark, aunt leanne, and 6 month old cousin emily. so we looked at lots of pictures online, saying all of thier names over and over again. the name we used with emily was "baby cousin emily". well, now, and probably forever more, she must be called by all three names. if we say cousin emily, or baby emily, or baby cousin, we are quickly corrected by sir toby. no, baby cousin emily.
we were thrilled to have the "other" coates family from mobile, alabama come for a visit. here are lots of pictures to prove it.................
we accosted them straight off the airplane.
then later had a family game night. we sure are a fun family...
sweet hugs
silly sunglasses
