Cousin time and sister time


Last weekend, my sister Janis and her daughter Eliza came to visit us.  Eliza is two months younger than Alli.  They both love My Little Pony and princesses and unicorns and babies...  they had a great time together.  June got lots of extra love.

We took a trip to the Nature Museum.  The girls got to hold a walking stick insect.  Three girls were giggling and squealing from the tickles from the bug.

The butterfly room was a favorite!  We watched the newly-hatched butterflies as they took their first flights.  The warm, humid greenhouse garden filled with butterflies is a great mini-escape from the cold Chicago winter.  Delightful!

Janis was in town for a round table discussion about a documentary that she is in.  It was wonderful to have some sister time with Janis and Marissa... we missed you, Emily.  Sisters are great.
