Poppy and Auntie's Visit

Poppy came to visit this past weekend. He was able to come down on Thursday and leave around noon on Saturday. It was a great help to me since I was able to run errands on Friday while Poppy played with the girls. Ben and I were also able to go to a Couples Bible Study Friday night and leave the girls with Poppy.

Natalie and Abby really took to Poppy this time instead of crying as in visits past. Maybe they remember him from Christmas. We have also been skyping so hopefully that has helped too. They all had a great time together.

The girls had a double treat when Auntie arrived this weekend too. She was actually here babysitting so she was busier than usual. She was watching Elianna, who Abby is named after, so she was over Sunday and Monday as well. We haven't seen Elianna in a while so it was fun. Today, Abby was especially cute and cuddly with her. At one point they both climbed into Elianna's lap while she read them a book. It was adorable.

We have been working on names with the girls. They've gotten pretty good with "Auntie". They can't quite do the "t" so it's more "Aun-ee". They are getting good with "poppy" too. Natalie will say "pop.." and the rest is sort of silent. Elianna was desperately trying to get them to say "Ellie", but I'm not sure how successful she was. We'll have to work on it.
