Surprise Cousin Time!

The weekend of Gray's birthday party we had a great surprise visit from some of Michael's family. His grandmother, aunt, uncle, two cousins and their two kiddos made the drive from Houston for the weekend. Michael's parents are used to making the drive each month, but I know it was a long trek for the rest of the family and we had such a great time seeing them.

Michael was raised very closely with his cousins, so it was nice to see the next generation getting some time to bond. Gray also enjoyed getting to be the "big" cousin since Rhyann and Lincoln are younger and sometimes need his help to do things.

Lincoln explored every inch of our house now that he can walk. He also met up with a few table corners too along the way, but hopefully he wasn't too banged up to come back again soon. 

Rhyann had some of the best bed hair one morning. She is so cute and I loved having more time with her than our usual quick visits when we're in Houston.
