saturday family fun

I started this post on Monday and am just now finishing it because our computer (yes, our new one) has not been uploading my pictures.

Anyways, last Saturday was a really fun day for the Carter family. Carl's cousin Maria and her husband Steven had an open house so as soon as Sophia got up from her afternoon nap we hit the road! Maria and Steven live about 30 minutes from us in the town where Carl's dad grew up! This summer they bought Carl's grandparents home and have been updating it and making it a home for their family! Despite how close they are Sophia hadn't met her cousin's or Great-Aunt yet. This was the perfect excuse to head down to Cuyahoga Falls and introduce Sophia to everyone!

Sophia and cousin Maria!

Sophia and Great-Aunt Betsy! Aunt Besty has been a loyal follower of the blog. We were so happy she could finally meet Sophia in person!

Sophia LOVED Steven and Maria's dog Joey. He came up to her and licked her hand she just laughed and smiled. Everywhere Joey went Sophia wanted to follow! I have a feeling as soon as she can talk she is going to be asking for a dog!

and that is Steven holding Sophia in the picture... I am terrible! I reallized when I got home that I didn't get his face in any of the pictures! We'll just have to visit again soon.

Thanks Maria and Steven for inviting us! The house looks beautiful! We can't wait to visit again soon!
