Cousin Time!

Four of Matthew and Claire's ten cousins live 5000 miles away, near London, England. We are enjoying the blessing of having them visit for about five weeks right now. The last time the cousins saw each other was almost two years ago. Here are some of the moments we have shared so far.

The Mead girls' first moments with Claire:

It doesn't take Papworth offspring long to get absorbed in a good book. This was a few minutes after seeing each other for the first time.

The Mead girls adore Claire. I think the feeling is mutual!



My sister, Melanie, getting in some auntie time with Claire, out at our church camp over the Memorial Day Weekend:

Joel has warmed right up to his Uncle Dan, including on this hayride:

Fun at Papa's Pizza Parlor:


We took a trip to our museum of science and industry (OMSI).
Here, the kids are giving the local forecast in front of a green screen:

If frogs are present, you can be sure boys are too:

Lunch time!

The prettiest astronaut I'VE ever seen!


We have another week or so to enjoy together, so I will post more pictures up later on!
