We were so lucky to get to spend some time with our cousin Siobhan (and her baby brother Liam, and her mom and dad!) this past week. Siobhan and her family live in England so we don't get to see them very often. Even though Ellie and Siobhan have only played together a few hours in their entire lives before this past week, they get along so well, remember each other and are so VERY similar it is almost creepy! (They are only about three weeks apart. So sad that we live so far apart from each other.) We had so much fun playing with Siobhan and spending some time with Finn (sister in law) and Will (Donovan's brother) and finally getting to meet baby Liam. Ellie and Siobhan haven't seen each other in a year and were so excited and giddy when they finally got to see each other again. There were squeals and hugs and kisses and lots of jumping up and down!

-- "Do you know when you smile, it's called 'smiling'? You just smiled!" (Ellie talking to Ahri)
