the Coombs girls came to visit (forever and a day ago)

My older sister drove all the way from southern Colorado to visit with her three girls. 

Both her boys are on missions right now and her hubs had to work. 

She was able to make it in time to be there when Stef received her endowments. 

Springe-a-ling and the girlies spent time with each sibling in our family expect our brother in Virginia. 

Most of us live in Oregon, Washington or Idaho. 

It meant lots of driving for them but we are so glad they did! 

We don't get to see those folks near enough and we all got to spend one-on-one time with them. 

The girls have grown up so much, they are such beautiful young women. 

Mabin was in heaven with the attention of three older cousins. 

I loved talking to my big sister. 

Mikey got to play games with them. 

We all had a great time. 

Mabin likes to share Maël's baby equipment, especially the Bumbo.

I love this photo of Mikey kissing a howling Maël. 

She doesn't cry much but when she does it always seems to be when Daddy has her. 

She has to give him a run for his money.
