We’ve had the best weekend with Randy’s sister and her family. They are missionaries in Palau and are finishing out their 9 month furlough in the States. There’s nothing like cousin love!
Sophie and Emma are a few years apart but play together like best friends. They slept together and stayed up late talking almost every night.
Posing as mannequin’s at William Sonoma and snapping a shot with the elephant at Anthropology was totally fun.
A huge highlight for Sophie was getting her ears pierced with all the cousins and family with her. She’s been wanting to have them pierced for a long time and we were just waiting for the right time. It worked out perfect. They were so sweet to join along and support her. She was so excited to have Emma with her.
Going to the pet store was especially fun for Mitchell and Ashley – they both love animals so much and are similar in so many ways. They had a great time together.
The cousins are extremely talented musically and so the entire family sings beautifully. They played at church Sunday morning and sang. Our church really enjoyed hearing about their ministry in Palau and loved hearing them sing. They will leave for Palau in May and so this is the last week we will see them for another 3-4 years. It’s a sad goodbye but with Skype and email we will be able to stay connected thankfully. We are so thankful for this family time we had.
