The Wisconsin Wuehlers

We were SO thrilled when Brent's brother accepted a job near Madison, WI! Not only do we love visiting with Jim and Vanessa, but the close proximity means the cousins will get to know each other. Now that they're settled, they invited us up for the weekend to celebrate Elizabeth's 2nd birthday. I'd never met Elizabeth and they had yet to meet Ireland. Isaac was so excited he was watching for us out the front window.

Isaac and Liesel hit it off immediately. After a lot of late evening play, they slept next to each other in sleeping bags.

They swung on the tire swing at the nearby park.

Played with cars.

Gave hugs (at Vanessa's encouragement).

Both girls rather enjoyed the accessories found around the house.
The food at Jim and Vanessa's was phenomenal! They had a fire stoked in the BBQ pit so we could make s'mores as soon as we got in. The kids got to make their own pizzas for dinner. In conversation I mentioned to Vanessa how much I love lime so they made a lime drink that was SO delicious!

These kids are definitely cousins! They all have the same blond hair with touches of strawberry in it. The same cowlick (a Wuehler trait). They all have light colored eyes and a bit of mischievousness in their personality. I tried to get a photo of them all together just before we left and it was a complete fail. This is the best one with the little girls looking at each other and the two oldest also looking at each other. Vanessa apparently doesn't whip out her camera every two seconds like I do because Isaac was SO tired of getting his photo taken! We're excited for more get-togethers with the Wisconsin Wuehlers. Happy Birthday to the adorable little Elizabeth!
