Borts Family comes to town

I think we are starting a new family tradition ... every other year the Borts family comes to town for Jack's birthday! Well, it isn't just for Jack's birthday but that seems to be the timing. We expect to see them in early October 2011! Of course, sooner but definitely then! Check out the quilt in the background of the picture - thanks Grandma Pam for Steven's space-themed birthday quilt!

Steven and Lyla had a great time visiting with their cousins. Steven was particularly taken with his big cousin Jack. And I think Jack was taken with Steven's riding toys. More than once Jack's parents told him he was too big to ride on Steven's Mickey Mouse ride-on airplane and Caterpillar dump truck! That was okay with us, though, because they were all having such a good time.

Emily is great at holding babies but she did get to experience the not so fun parts, too. Lyla is prone to big spit ups and Emily fell victim to a pretty good spit! Lyla also tooted pretty good and I suggested that Emily put her down and thank goodness because shortly thereafter we experienced a blow out!

And with all the time we spent together I didn't get one picture of my sister with the kids! Oh, well we'll just have to wait until 2011.
