Family Time

Last week, my husband and I spent 5 days in Chapel Hill, NC., visiting his sister, Rachel and her family. We got to spend time with our adorable niece and nephew, Mia & Sam.

Mia is now 7 and she is a bookworm. She loves to read, even joined a little book club for the summer! She is funny, she reads while she eats her snacks, slumped on the couch, in the car and of course when she goes to bed. She also loves to play games, which was a lot of fun for aunt Andrea since I love games too! And she is also a great kitchen helper.

Sam, on the other hand, is all boy! He is non-stop, running around and playing energetic games all the time. Sam is 4 years old. He loves swords and dragons and dinosaurs. He plays with a little friend of his, Charlie, and together they are dynamite! It is actually very fun to watch... although Sam can also be super mellow and lies on the couch with you and gives you a huge hug, as he gets older he is becoming more of a guy's-guy and prefers to hang out with uncle Rich.

Here are some images from our visit.

Ughrrr!!!

Sam has been spending a lot of time practicing this. He can now do 3 consecutive pull-ups!

Yeepee!

This is at the Swim Meet, go Sam!


This sweet girl is Mia.

She loves to pose, can you tell?

And can be a goofball at times too :)

Although this is her most common type of moment these days...
They are cute together too!

I hope you enjoyed these... it was nice to spend some time with them (and their parents, who are not too bad either ;)
