So many cousins!

June has been such a fun month for us.  

We were lucky enough to have all the Huitsing cousins (almost) in Michigan at the same time.  We had SO much fun swimming at their hotel pool, and they even came out to the lake to play.  

And later Dave and Abby stopped by with Jack.  Elise and Jack just play and play - so adorable.  It's a shame we all live so far away!

I have so many pictures -- in no particular order...

Maddie was so sweet with Charlotte.

William was pretty sweet to...  :-)

Probably the best picture ever. 

Cuties Pete and Claire. 

Awww Elise and Jack.  

We can't forget our other cousin Brian who was in Michigan for almost two weeks!  

He loved the lake and didn't want to go home.

I'm so totally behind with this blog situation. 

SO behind I feel overwhelmed and tempted to abandon the blog all together, but I'm going to power through because I really enjoy having the everyday moments of our lives documented. 

So if you still read this blog leave me a comment and encourage me to keep going.  Because I'm pretty sure our parents are the only ones still with me here.  Hopefully all my health issues are a thing of the past.  

Anyways....Charlotte is 9 months old!

STILL the sweetest and cutest thing.  

She has three teeth!  Her bottom two and a top fang.  

Little Miss Snagletooth doesn't even care. 

She crawls everywhere and is getting faster. 

She pulls herself up on everything and has started walking along furniture. 

She claps all the time. And smiles all the time. 

Still wakes up for a little snack sometime between 4 and 6am.  

I'm too much of a sucker for snuggles that I don't even care. 

And a few current photos:

Last weekend Elise had her dance recital.  

It was of course adorable. 

Here's Elise with her friend Lyza. 

She really doesn't stop talking. 

Here's her Happy Little Ditty.  It's so shaky because I can't keep from laughing.  

Sweet little 4 year olds.
