Visiting with Family

We have been very fortunate to have spent some time family over the last 2 weeks. First, Katie and Gianna flew down to Atlanta and spent the week with us and Doug came down that weekend and then the following week we flew to NJ and spent 2 days with them before driving to Binghamton, NY to be there for Nick's Grandma's birthday. We were able to see lots of extended family there as well as Nick's parents and sister. It has been a great couple of weeks, but we are now happy to be home for a little bit.



The girls were so fun to watch together. They are so different. Although Gianna has gotten more active, Isabella is still much more focused on the physical and although Isabella has a few words and does communicate quite a bit, especially through signs and pointing, Gianna is much more focused on learning words and talking with everyone. You can tell they each have their own interests at this point. It is very interesting. Gianna was a joy to be around, we miss her so much. The girls were cute together too, they would hold hands and hug and kiss. It was really sweet.


While Katie and Doug were visiting us in Atlanta we had our first snow. Isabella loved it, although it was super wet and not really something she could play in. She did love just being outside in it.


Then we went to Gianna's house

We all had a great time but Isabella definitely enjoyed seeing all her relatives.
