Welcome Home Uncle Vance!

Rarely do I get both girls down for a nap at the same time, and today I have accomplished this! So I thought I would take advantage of the free time by writing a little something.

Yesterday, Aaron's brother Vance got home from his two-year mission to Taiwan. Almost his whole family was there to greet him at the airport. We all went out to lunch and those of us that didn't have to get back to work spent the day visiting. It was a lot of fun.

Grace had an especially fun time with her cousin Julia who is visiting from San Diego. Julia is a a year and a few months older than Grace. They are getting old enough now that their age difference doesn't really matter (a year ago Julia would ask me to clearify what Grace was saying, and now they hold their own conversations!) They played house (they took turns being the mother), chased eachother, and jumped on the trampoline. I walked in on them while they were playing with dolls and Grace told me Julia was teaching her some things. The cutest thing was watching them walk around the house holding hands. This is the kind of stuff they will look back on and laugh at when they are college roomates!
