Hanging out with the Carter Family Cousins

So some of you may know that my maternal second cousin, Amy Carter Misuik, died this past year from undiagnosed breast cancer. Six weeks younger than me, it really scared and devastated me. She left two children, Maddie and Evan. She had a sister, Sally Carter LaBay, who was just a few months younger than Rachel...and Sally has two children, Casey & Megan. Her family, including mom Ann Carter (my mom's cousin), and Maddie, came to Portland to walk in the Komen Race for the Cure in September. We had a chance for the kids to play with Mateo at the Portland Children's Museum and they had a great time...

Mateo climbing..."Look Mommy" (Mommy taking picture trying hard not to freak out about the chance of falling!!


What is it about water play that makes toddlers LOVE it so?


Getting wetter...


Megan who has red hair just like her daddy...that's Maddie in the background!


Casey, Megan, and Maddie brushing the teeth of the dinosaur!

It was an incredible time together and makes me want to do it annually...

Love, Sarah
