I'm so glad when Daddy comes home

We had a busy week last week playing with our dad and cousins. Brian finally came home last Friday for a short time. Saturday we celebrated my mom's birthday with good food and presents. He left again for Philadelphia on Sunday to take his test, and don't get me started on my issues with Delta airlines, but he finally made it home Tuesday. Wednesday through Saturday we got to spend some time up at Papa Snow's cabin. Friday all the cousins came up for some fun and family pictures and to celebrate Sue's and Lizzie's birthday! Sadly Brian left us again for San Antonio but we are down to three more weeks then he comes home for a while.


Bathing with cousin Robbie!

Singing in the rain!

Gearing up for a good hike, she insisted that she needed a rope to help her climb the mountain.

We tried to get to mirror lake but ended up settling for the Bear River just in time before the big rain storm.

Getting ready to blow out her candles!

Opening presents with the cousins it was a full house we had 11 cousins there 7 of them were 2 and under. Look at her new coat and matching hat Grandma Millie gave her they are so cute!

Even Charlie enjoyed a little wrapping paper.

It's going to be a fun Autumn, Lizzie loves playing in the leaves and raking them up!

Cute friends reading together before nap time!

I was trying to get a good picture of her great hair. It's not really getting any thicker just longer it's quite funny really!

Okay so that hat and coat combo is friggin DARLING! Sounds like you have been kept busy. At least you are around friends and family while Brian is gone. I can't imagine how insane I would go if it was just me and the kids for that long. Here is to hoping that his next rotation goes quickly so you can see each other for more than a week!

It does look like you've been keeping busy with lots of fun--hopefully that makes time go by faster. You need to carve some time out of that schedule for us--we need to hang out soon!
