Family time

There truly is nothing like family.  The familiarity and comfort is such a nice thing to look forward to during our visits home.  Mateus is so fortunate to be part of a such large extended family.  I wish we could make the trip more often but when we do, it's always filled with lots of visits which is wonderful!  It truly is so nice to have so many people excited to see our little man and we are lucky that he is pretty easy going with all the attention...actually let's face it- Mateus loves the attention!  :-)  Here are some pictures from the weekend:

 This was a position we found the cousins multiple times throughout the weekend.  Nathan wanted to give hugs, Mateus was more interested in pulling hair, and neither one of them was sure how to respond to the other.

 We thought we had this great idea to do this photo op outside not realizing how interesting the grass would be to the boys.  Needless to say they were "busy at work" pulling grass and could have cared less about looking at the cameras.

                                  We were able to capture this moment between the two of them.
