Summer is almost over

Visitors are still in and out in between some trips of our own. Two weeks ago Tyler and I traveled to see my brother (Uncle Jim) his family and my best friend Lisa. We brought my niece back with us allowing her to stay for a week. The following weekend my brother and his wife came through to pick my niece up and my sister flew in for a visit. Tyler has had so much fun with aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is amazing in the pool, at 17 months he just dives in. He jumps off Chad's shoulders and falls into the water. We are nervous when he falls and dunks himself but you can see him under the water and he smiles the whole time. He never takes in water, he just has naturally learned to hold his breath. My sister flew home last Wednesday and Chad's older brother Jared, our sister-in-law Jessica, and our nephew Carson came into town that night. We have had a blast with them the last couple of days. Tyler has been really getting a taste of what it will be like to be a big brother and share his toys. He is actually doing very well with that. Tyler is the older cousin by 10 months but soon he and Carson will be getting into trouble together. We went out for a walk and instead of riding in his stroller Tyler wanted to be out and helping Aunt Jessica push Carson. We had a play date here today also so we had a total of 7 kids here playing. They had so much fun. Chad's brother has to leave tomorrow morning but after they leave we go to pick up my older niece and her son at the airport. They are coming to visit until next Wednesday. Tyler is getting some good time with some of his cousins.
