Spotlight on Andy (and Eliana)

One fun aspect of our trip was having Mike's brother Andy there with us. 

He doesn't have kids so it was most assuredly an assault to all of his senses living in the same house with six children for a little over a week.  They all love him very much and were excited to show him all manner of things down by the lake, have s'mores with him, and devour his attention whenever they could. 

(I had fun astounding him with my baseball knowledge.  It helped earn us a piece of the pie while playing Trivial Pursuit.  You never know when the oddball facts that you pick up along the way will come in handy.)

One day, Andy borrowed my camera for a few minutes while I was pushing Eliana on the swing.  I wanted to share the images he captured.  They are precious, and very touching for me anyway.  I love her reactions to him, particularly as she went careening towards him on the swing.

There were big, big laughs

Little giggles

Twirling

Upside down looking

"Are you still paying attention to me?"

(I want to go nom-nom-nom on that appley cheek.)

Thank you, Andy, for taking beautiful pictures of my baby girl.  I love you, brother!  See you when we see you.

Those photos are AMAZING. I second Sunny, the joy is palpable. Tell Uncle Andy he's awesome.

(And I seriously hope he's written his name on the bottom of his shoes because I am a massive dork.)
