A Visit with Amber and Baby Nia!

On Sunday afternoon, Genevieve and I headed to Portland to visit Amber, Tony and their beautiful kids, Jacoby and Antonia, for the night!  It was great to spend 24 hours with my sister and our little kids and I loved seeing little baby Antonia again!  It was so much fun to see Genevieve and Jacoby really playing together for the first time and enjoying being together. They shared with each other remarkably well (except a few treasured toys of Jacoby!).  Genevieve was also pretty cute with Nia. Whenever I held Nia, Nev would come to me and want to sit next to me and get a little attention from me and then she'd be off to play again. She was very interested in Nia and was pretty gentle. We all spent some time outside together, where the kids had a ton of fun, and we got to visit with Duane and Mary too. On Monday, Amber and I spent the morning taking, talking about and sharing pictures with each other.  I got to play photographer and took at least a couple hundred pictures of Amber and Antonia (Amber took a bunch too of just Antonia). I love that we both enjoy pictures so much! It all went by too fast. The only thing that would have made the visit better is if our other sister could have been there too...luckily Marilyn is coming in July!

 

I love that my kids love being with their cousins!

Genevieve was so cute with Antonia

Luckily I am recently experienced with holding a newborn while doing other things :)

Genevieve wasn't quite sure what to make of Jacoby sticking his tongue out and blowing but I think she thought it was pretty cool. Jacoby is such a fun and smart little boy!

One of my favorites from our little photo shoot. Such a pretty, calm and content little girl!

So content in mommy's arms. Doesn't Amber look great!

It was fun to work with the lighting and different angles when we took the pictures of Nia. She was a perfect little model, just looking around at everything and very happy. Check out Amber's blog (Amandi Family link on the right) for more pictures of Nia from our little photo shoot (coming soon...).
