Visit from the Finn-Santanas!

Katie, Steven and Maddie came to visit his past weekend.  It's nice to have Katie and family only a car ride away, after years of flying back and forth across the country to see each other.  The last time we saw them was for the wedding, so it was good to have more time to actually chat and just be with their family.  

Just like the last time we hung out with the Finn girls, Maddie was awesome with Samantha.  Unfortunately, this time, we couldn't get the younger cousin to stay still in Maddie's lap.

Despite Samantha's inability to sit still, she really showed this time how much she loved her older cousin. On Saturday morning the girls were up bright and early so I had an hour to watch them play in their pajamas, and I loved seeing how Samantha wanted to do everything Maddie was doing.  

Later we headed to Princeton to show Steven the campus, while Andrew played in an alumni tennis match.  Katie and I had some moments of nostalgia walking around campus and showing Steven and Maddie where we lived and studied. It definitely made us miss all the people that used to be around campus, though.

 The whole family :)

 Maddie knew how to keep a hungry and tired Samantha happy- seriously best big cousin ever.

 Outside Colonial- one of us really doesn't like the sun in her eyes!

Back home and post-nap Samantha wanted to show Maddie how she likes crawling around the living room- Maddie happily obliged even when S crawled away.

Some cute parents.

On Sunday after church we headed to the local playground- we found some scary two headed monsters there!

Miss you Finn-Santanas!  Come back anytime!!!
