Meeting Elyse!

George and Clara met their cousin Elyse for the first time on Saturday.  We have been showing the twins photos of their baby cousin.  They would yell, "Eys! Eys!"  Before we got to Aunt Christina and Uncle Sayed's house, we talked about being gentle with baby Elyse.  They just kept saying, "Eys! Eys!"  They were very excited to meet her!

George was very good with little Miss Elyse.  He wasn't as interested in her until she was crying.  As soon as she started crying, George would become very concerned.  He would whine, point at her, and had a very worried expression on his face.  Our little sensitive guy was concerned about his baby cousin!

 

Clara was the exact opposite of her brother...surprise surprise.  She was very interested in Elyse.  She always seemed to be right next to her.  Clara wanted to pat her, touch her hair, fix her blanket, and rock her.  At one point, Clara put out her arms as if to say, "I'll hold her now."  Clara loves her little cousin Elyse!

On Sunday the whole family went to Grandma and Grandpa H's house for dinner.  It was great to be all together.  The first of many family gatherings.  Welcome to the family Elyse!  We are so glad you are here!
