Uncle Ken and Aunt Linda Visit!

Uncle Ken and Aunt Linda brought Charlie this new Bears jersey and ball. He wore it every day...even to bed at night!

Last weekend we were very fortunate to have Pete's Uncle Ken and Aunt Linda come stay with us. Their son, Andy, is the trainer for the Wisconsin men's hockey team (you saw pictures of us a couple years ago at a hockey game of his), and Wisconsin was playing Norther Michigan in Green Bay. Uncle Ken and Aunt Lin decided to make the Michigan Loop trip... they started in Illinois, went to Wisconsin to watch their grand kids, then went to Green Bay for the game, drove to Marquette to stay with us, then looped through the UP to head to Ludington to close up the cottage. 

It was SO nice to have them here. Whenever we have gotten together in the past, it has been with the entire family, so you can imagine how crazy that is. This time we actually got to spend some one-on-one time with them. They hadn't met Seda yet, so they got to do that and spend some fun, quality time with the kids. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate (it was raining sideways from the wind, and cold), so we were cooped up the house most of the time, but that didn't slow them down. They played everything Charlie wanted to and even enjoyed interacting with Seda, even though she was a little scared of Uncle Ken at first ;) She warmed up to him eventually though. It was a short visit, but a great one. Hopefully we can get them back here again when the weather is good because we know they would love all of the outdoor adventures here. We are looking forward to our next "for sure" planned trip when Uncle Ken and I run the Lakestride Half Marathon in Ludington this summer. Hopefully we can see them again before that though! Thanks for the visit, Uncle Ken and Aunt Linda! It was so nice to have you, and we appreciate you making the drive!

Big smiles for Uncle Ken.

Seda was finally starting to smile at her Great Uncle. :)

Uh, oh! He got him!

Aunt Lin was teaching Charlie how to do the hands on the bat to see who goes first. I love how Charlie's tongue is out in concentration here.
