Aunt Lia comes to visit!

My aunt Lia came to visit us for two weeks! She is my moms sister and they look a lot a like. So when Quinn and I picked her up at the airport, the first thing Quinn said when she walked through the gate was: "oma!". How funny. She kept calling my aunt 'oma' pretty much during her entire stay. It was kind of nice actually, because Quinn wasn't shy around her at all and didn't need to warm up to her. For her, oma was really back with us.
Kane also loved aunt Lia from the start and didn't have to warm up to her either. Within the first hour after she arrived, he was sleeping in her arms already.
We didn't do a whole lot. Just kind of hang out around the house and we went for a walk when the weather was nice. We went to the mall one day too, which we timed out perfectly since that day it rained all day long.
The nice thing about living where we live is that you can just walk on the middle of the road without having to worry about cars and bikes......
.....and nature is all over just a few steps out of the door.
My aunt is a nurse for the elderly, so she is used to some bigger butts to wash. She enjoyed giving Kane his bath a lot and so did he!

A week after my aunt arrived, my cousin (her daughter) Karin joined us as well with her boyfriend Rob. They first enjoyed a week together in Las Vegas and Los Angeles before coming to us. Rob has two little girls himself so he felt himself right at home with Quinn and her dolls.
My cousin Karin and Kane. Karin is also Kane's godmother and we had his baptism when she was here. Kane was full of smiles for her.
And also for Rob!
After a few days with us, Karin and Rob continued their trip together to Chicago. My aunt stayed with us a couple more days and then met up with Karin and Rob on the airport in Chicago to fly back to Holland.
Thanks for coming and stay with us aunt Lia, Karin and Rob. We had a wonderful time and we miss you guys!
