fun with family

This summer has been full of birthday parties (Mylin turned 1! and so did her cousin Jace, while Ethan turned 7)
And also our family from Alabama coming up for a visit - enjoy our summer overview with family in pictures :)

 Can you find the Cosi in this picture?! We couldn't find her playing anywhere in the house, and this is the scene I came upon when looking in their room...

 Crazy Uncle Joel let the kids paint his toenails!

 All eight Merkle grandkids (Mylin, Glenn(5), Cosi(3), Maddie(6), Ethan(7), Hudson(5), Luke(3), Andre(1)

Seriously. The cutest kids EVER!
