Bullman's - Days 3 & 4

We had the wonderful opportunity to spend a couple of days with our friends from Ireland, the Bullmans. We were able to see them on our 2006 trip and didn't think we'd see them again for a long while. We're so glad it worked out to spend a little time with them. Their little Christian is about 5 weeks older than Niko. It was so fun to see the two of them play together. In this first picture, they had been standing on the trampoline together and we told them to hug. They did such a great job, they ended up in this position. :) Yes, we all stood around laughing, not helping them up, at least until Anna had compassion on them.

Thomas & Anna

Niko, Sam, & Christian

Thomas & Anna recently took Christian to Euro-Disney and they got these dolls from Toy Story. With Niko's obsession, you can imagine the look on his face when he walked into Christian's room and, wide-eyed, whispered, "Woody!" as if he expected Woody to start moving and talking back. Niko and Woody were inseparable during our stay. I don't have pictures from the last days of our trip, but Niko was blessed to receive a Woody doll of his very own from his Uncle Jake. Now, Niko and Woody are permanently inseparable. :)

"Love!"

Smooch :)

It was at the Bullman's house that Sam first started walking along the wall.
He hasn't stopped since.

Thanks so much, Bullmans! So great to see you!!
