Jessi and Keenan visiting from Kiev

My sister Jessi was brave enough to fly home for a month long visit with Keenan in tow. Even though Keenan was really good, just listening to her story of the flight reminds me that I never want to fly alone with a little kid...much less two! At any rate it's great to have her home for a nice visit and just in time to meet the newest little Howell.
Chase sleeping (he's a great sleeper!) in Aunty Jessi's arms with Carter keeping a close eye on her baby brother. She has really been trying very hard to be a good big sister. She told me that we couldn't take him back and HAD to keep him. She's having a bit of trouble adjusting but is trying so hard...she's been way better than I ever hoped.

Carter playing with Keenan. She was really excited to go down to my mom's house to see him, although it had been March since she had seen him last. Naturally anything he wanted to play with suddenly was just the toy she had to have (normal) or if he already had it, try to take it away. We've been working on TRADE...if they already have it and you want it, you have to find a toy they are willing to trade with. Works sometimes!
