Me & Elyse

Liam and his cousin Elyse hit it off fabulously while we were visiting Minnesota for Thanksgiving last week. They first met last January, but Elyse was only an infant and of minimal interest to Liam back then. This time, we were so surprised and excited to see how well the two of them got along and played together! Lots of fun for the kids, and for us adults, too :0) Here's a peek at a few of the things Elyse and Liam enjoyed together during our stay: Sharing a kiss at the zoo. Playing with trains at the roundhouse museum.

Dressing up at the Minnesota Children's Museum (an incredible place for little ones!).
Doing a little grocery shopping.
Exploring careers in medicine (Elyse is multi-tasking while also tending to the baby... all in a day's work!).
"Fishing" for whatever we could find to hook.
And my favorite shot from the "fun with pudding" series. Definitely a big hit with everyone involved!
Can't wait to see you again, Elyse! And thanks again to Nate and Natalie for hosting us all and the wonderful time!!

LOVE it all, especially the last one! I have tried posting pics 3 times and after 20 minutes of uploading it denies me. I'm so glad you did this post. I will eventually get around to it.

OMG, reading about the pudding adventures is STILL hilarious! Who in the world came up with the idea (one guess: Shawn...)?! Looks like a terrific trip to the northernlands. And Elyse is adorable! And the two of them together - adorable! And...ok, I'll stop...great pics/post, as usual!

Nope, Kerrie, my sister-in-law Natalie can take full credit for the pudding painting idea! Awesome, huh? I'm sure if Carter ever wants to give it a try down the road, Liam and Greta would be game :0)
