Family Visits

Family visits are so nice.

Auntie Melissa was in Calgary for a fellowship (I dunno... Some big fancy-schmance thing for smart people) for a week. Baby Gus and Uncle Jay came for a visit half way through the week too.

Oh it was a glorious time! Lots of playing and smiles and snuggles and fun. Talulah and Gus are seriously two peas in a pod. They LOVE each other SO MUCH. It melts my heart seeing them together. I just want to squeeze them! And you know what? I got to squeeze them together a lot! They thought it was a great idea for Talulah to sit on me and then for Gus to sit on her... So I got to snuggle and squeeze both of them to my heart's content.

Gus and I took the bus to Talulah's daycare to pick her up because they both LOVE the bus. When we went in (it was the first time they got to see each other) Talulah's eyes got wide and she had a HUGE smile! She said, "Baby Gus!" and her daycare teachers said, "Oh, we've heard so much about Baby Gus but we didn't know if he was real!". We had a good laugh and all of Talulah's friends gathered around to see the cute little Baby Gus (even though he's not a baby anymore). Talulah stood at his side looking so unbelievably proud, showing off her cousin. I'm pretty sure I shed a few tears at that point. She was so excited to take the bus home and to take care of Baby Gus. She was sure to hold his hand to "keep him safe so he won't get away".... Even though Gus had no intention of going anywhere that Talulah wasn't going. So. Ridiculously. Sweet.

Sigh.

Now they're all back home and while Talulah and I very much enjoy our alone time together... We still miss them. She's been asking constantly if Baby Gus can come back to her home "tomorrow". She knows that he's in Winnipeg, she just doesn't like it. I assure her that we'll be going to visit in the summer.... But it's not the immediate gratification she's looking for. Poor Lula.... Missing her little cousin.

It's a wee bit too much work to upload all of the pictures from the visit onto here... So, please click >>> HERE <<< and take a peek at our fun times with Auntie Lissa, Uncle Jay & Baby Gus.
