Alan and Annemarie's visit


The first part of this month, we had some very special visitors come to our house. My mom's brother Alan and his wife Annemarie. This was a real treat because they live all the way in South Africa....so needless to say we don't see them very much. The last time I saw Auntie Annemarie was when I was still under a year old, so this was like meeting her for the first time. It was so nice having them around, my Uncle Alan has so many of my mom's mannerisms that at times, it felt like she was here. (she probably was) We laughed and played for almost 2 weeks and then they moved on to my sister's house. They will have been in the states for about 6 weeks when their trip is over. They flew into Seattle and have traveled with my dad to all of my sibling's houses.

Elley took to Annemarie immediately and loved every minute that they were here......although, the first picture would lead you to believe other wise. We played at the river, had a pool party, went to the fair, and played games until all hours of the night.....thanks Uncle Alan for "letting" me win so many times!!!! We love and miss you guys so much already.
