Cousin Charlotte!!!!

My sister and her family were here last week! They were technically in Hawaii to visit her husband's brother and his family, since he will be leaving for Iraq soon, but hey, we are here, too, so we got to hang out as well!

It was nice to see Sarah and Richie, but this visit was really all about BABY CHARLOTTE. This is Alex's 5 month old cousin, who none of us had met yet. Well, we got a lot of cute baby time in while she was here.

Here are Alex and Charlotte on the hotel bed. Alex had requested to hold the baby quite a few times this evening, and I finally set up a way that I thought everyone would be safe...namely surrounded by as many pillows as possible and sitting in the middle of the bed!

I don't know what Charlotte was thinking, but Alex is certainly happy.


And here's another one, just for Grandma and Grandpa W :-)

Oh, the cuteness!!!
