We have been so lucky this past week to have Brian's sister Emily, along with her husband Matt and their two kids Owen and Ava, come and visit us!
The day after they arrived we went out to the country and had a great time. One of the High Councilmen in our ward had invited all the families to come out to his home and see some baby sheep and chickens. We ended up staying for hotdogs and a buggy ride from a nearby Amish neighbor. Really!! Matt described it best as: surreal and peaceful. And I might add AWESOME! Brian teases me because I read these fictional Amish books and find the Amish people very interesting - so I was thrilled to ride in their buggy and talk with them (although I didn't say much - I think I was in shock - like when you see a celebrity) This couple were very kind - as you can see in the second picture Ava had warmed up real quick!

Ava and Miles had a great time splashing in the bird bath!
Here is Miles near the end of the evening...
And here is Nora - just being Nora...
And Sophie posing amidst the sheep poop...notice how she's trying to not let her feet touch!
Three cute cousins!
Miles discovered he was quite the little climber. He climbed multiple fences like this one - but this is when he got to the top all by himself.

I have to charge my camera battery before I upload the other pictures. We had so much fun having them here - we kept forgetting who the guests were because they were so generous and helpful. We miss you already and can't wait to see you again!
Stay tuned for the Huff family visit - part 2!!

That is so great that they came to spend time with you. They are such a cute family. I love all the pics! Looks like you had a great time! Love ya all. See you NEXT month!
Did they make you any Amish bread?? Was the book you read a romance Amish book?? Very interesting....
I am so jealous of the amish buggyride. Years ago my dad seriously wanted to buy one of those. Didn't happen, but it was his dream.
Man, I still can't believe we got to ride in an Amish buggy! Good thing we get to see you guys soon because we sure miss you!
