The Browns Visit!

Sisters hug

We were so excited to see the Browns.  We hadn't seen them in 6 months - a long time in the life of a 2.9 year old (Sophie) and a 9 month old (Sam) - their two little ones.  They were both so much bigger and we loved seeing and hearing about how they have grown since we left. For the first part of their visit, we went to a hotel near Jaco for some sun/pool time.  Then the Browns came down to our neck of the woods to experience mountain living in CR. Last time we saw Sam, he was 3 months...what a big change!  Much to his embarrassment, his mom put Sophie's pink hat on his adorable head.

Sophie and Lulu were so excited to be together again.  Tori said that, for months, Sophie would say "Costa Rica!"  She didn't know what that meant, but she knew it was connected with her cousins - so it had to be good!

Feeling pretty blessed to be sitting next to my sister in Costa Rica.

 

We went to a toucan rescue center nearby our house and the kids fell in love with the friendly, curious sloths.

 

Siblings and cousins make the best friends.

 

Happy Auntie! I didn't want to let that love bug go...!
