Visiting the Dabaies

On our way home from Virginia, we stopped in Ohio to visit April and her family. Mostly we just relaxed and enjoyed each other's company, but here are a few pictures of the other things we did while at their house.

Sammy and Kate drew all over the place with chalk. Kate's favorite thing to draw was Mickey Mouse. She even drew a Mickey Mouse on one of the outdoor pillows - oops!
It was so pretty out that we decided to take a walk to the park. Kate insisted on carrying her own soccer ball - just like Jonathan was doing.
Soccer at the park. Why is it that dogs and kids always stand right between the people who are trying to play? Funny.
It was so sweet - on the way home Kate wanted to hold Sammy's hand. Doesn't Sammy look so grown up compared to her little cousin?
Before we left, Sammy wanted to take a picture of Kate. Knowing that would be a challenge (ha ha) I quickly grabbed Kate and held on to her while we "cheesed" for the picture. I actually like how it turned out. (NOTE: This is the only photo from our entire trip that I am a part of...)
What I didn't get a picture of was Kate cuddling up to Jonathan on the couch. It was so cute. She just climbed right up and scooted closer and closer until she was scrunched up right next to him.

Kate cried for about a half hour after you guys left. She was so sad. And STILL to this day, she asks for all 3 of you... the other day I was out on the patio and she pointed to the chair you were sitting on and said, "Kim's Chair!" and she always points at the soccer ball and says "That's Jon's ball... that's right! Jon's ball!" haha
I hope they can see eachother again soon! :-)
