A few days before Easter we had a special guest come and visit! Cousin Erin, from Washington, visited us for the day and we had a great time dying Easter Eggs, playing games and building lots of Lego creations.
Now I have to explain…this was a long awaited visit. Last fall our family saw Erin, and her family, at a family birthday celebration for her sister, Olivia in Washington. Erin spent a while playing Hot Wheels with Nathan during that visit and since then he has been asking for a visit with “Erin.” In fact, a few weeks after the get together he had wanted to get together with Erin again. I assumed the Erin he was talking about was our 5 year old, next door neighbor (whom he also adores) and loves to play with. So like a good mom I set up a play date. As I saw “little Erin” walking over I saw the confusion in my son’s eyes…mom I meant “big Erin!” So forever, we now adoringly refer to cousin Erin as “big Erin.” Anyway, Nathan counted down the days, hours and minutes till his “big Erin” would arrive. The next few hours were bliss for him (and Annie, Grandma Sherrill and I enjoyed the time together as well).
