the koens come for a visit.

last week, for just a few hours, i was able to see my sister and her family before i left on whirlwind trips to seattle/alabama. i am so in love with her family. they are perfect. and little evie was the tiniest thing ever and i may have pretended she was mine for a little bit and may have liked it when people on the streets gave me "awwws" and cocked their heads and smiled gently. the "aww, you have a baby" smile.

but look how tiny! this is like 2 minutes after seeing her for the first time. i was so impressed with her manicured fingers.

she already hams it up for the camera. this is a good baby.

papa mickey, tony, and mini tony (elijah) walking through folger park.

gnomie and her new baby...niece. that baby holder thing is so awesome. i want a purse like that - its so ergonomic!

lijah and mary playing games. please everyone move to our neighborhood! we had so much fun!
elijah is the toughest, most independent baby/toddler i've ever known. he climbed up here all by himself and only when he was up on top of everything did he stay still for a few minutes. he just likes to be in control. i can get behind that.

so excited to see these people again next week! and the rest of our utah family, too. wa hoo!
