Goooo Pirates!

Jeremy's cousin Robert came into town last week and it was so great to see them!  We've managed to see each them about once a year for the last 3 years, so hopefully we can keep it up.  Robert and Melarie have a little girl Julia just a couple weeks older than Eli, so it's always fun to get together and see how grown up they've become since the year before.  They also just had a baby boy, Micah, a little over a month ago so it was so fun to see him!  He is beautiful.

They took us to a Pirates game!  Robert is a big baseball fan and tries to go to as many different ballparks as he can.  It was perfect weather for a ball game and we were lucky to get it.  The days leading up to and following that day were rainy and yucky.  It also worked out that Jeremy didn't have class the time of the game, so we all got to go!

Eli and Julia had fun running back and forth.

 Connor was just tired, but mostly pretty happy.
 They actually lost, but I don't think any of us noticed too much. :)
 They came over for dinner after and the kids had fun playing...and Eli managed to get ahold of Julia's phone and he and Robert had fun on their phones. :)
 We tried to get a nice picture of Eli and Julia, but neither one was too cooperative.  (See here for pictures of them from the last 3 years)
 Give each other a hug!
I finally just gave up and took a video.  They're pretty hilarious.  They were both really tired from only napping in the car on the way home from the game and Julia had been up really early from driving here from D.C.  They're quite adorable.
The next day they went to the Children's Museum and then came over again for dinner and playing.  (That's when Eli opened his legos).  They took off the next morning for Toronto.  They actually live in DC for another month, and we're really kicking ourselves for not going to see them when we had the chance. :(  But thanks for stopping in to see us!
