My nephew Jeremy, his wife Cami, and their two children spent the past week here in the White Mountains. It was fun to visit with them.*
Cami's family had their family reunion at the nearby Roundhouse Resort. They came up on Friday the 12th and stayed for 6 days.
*
This is Jeremy, Cami, Jaren (11 months old), and Analyce (age 3) with bunny Cocoa.
When they first arrived, they stopped by our house to drop off their dog, Jack. Jack happens to be the brother of our dog, Diego, both born in the same litter.That's Jack on the left, with the tan muzzle. Jack and Diego got along very well.

We took care of Jack while they attended their reunion. My kids, the animal lovers, were in heaven!
Both times that their family was at our home, Analyce spent most of the visit cuddling Sarah's rabbit Cocoa Puff. On that first day, she didn't even want to leave. She made it clear that she would gladly trade in Jack for the bunny!When Sarah allowed Analyce to settle Cocoa back into her hutch, the crisis passed. We promised to let her hold Cocoa again when they returned.

On their final day here, even Jaren overcame his shyness to try to pet the rabbit.
*Jaren has taken his first shaky steps, so he'll be walking very soon. Heck, he may already be walking in the 2 days since he returned home!
*On Thursday, we all got together with my dad and step-mom Kathy to have lunch at El Cupido's, my dad's favorite Mexican restaurant. He's on a first-name basis with all the employees there!
*
We had an enjoyable visit and a very late lunch. It was 5 pm by the time Jeremy and Cami loaded up Jack and started on the 4-hour drive home.
*
And poor Jeremy had to be at work by 5:00 the following morning! He's a helicopter pilot for their local hospital, evacuating patients by air in emergencies.
This clip is a 3-minute conversation with Analyce. I'm sorry the camera didn't pick her up well. I love listening to preschoolers trying to talk like little adults.*
She tells us of Jaren's experience in the pool and announces whether Mommy is having a baby boy or girl. Toward the end, Jaren joins the discussion!

We sure had fun visiting with you guys, maybe next time we will stay longer. We are really thankful you and the kids decided to watch Jack for us, because we wouldn't have been able to go if you hadn't. Analyce was a little disappointed that you didn't put up the video of her falling off the chair, but maybe next time.
Analyce is too funny. She can't figure out why they need a lot of little brothers!
I can't figure who was doing the talking/questioning in the video?
I am so surprised I did not recognize your voice Mary. I guess it's been too long :(
