Sorority Cousins??

  If Sorority Sisters all have kids, are the children then referred to as Sorority Cousins???

  Michael and I made plans to visit the Quell's on Sunday so we would be out of the house for our second open house.  Since Dale entered into our lives, we didn't have to worry about the open house.  I loved leaving the house a mess! 
  I met Tiffany and Erin in 1999 when we all were freshmen music educator majors at Penn State University.  We all rushed the music fraternity, Sigma Alpha Iota, which allowed us to meet the Quell's through our organization's involvement in THON.  Cancer has taken so much away from us but did forge this friendship with the Quell's which we all hold very dear.  We all came back together (with kids in tow) for a wonderful day together.

"Hey, people."

Chalk..a universal toy!

Go, Mason, go!

Such a beautiful area....reminds me of home!

Guess who made her pose like this??

New toys!!!!

Quack quack!

Woohooooo!!!!!!!!

"Watch out, world!

"I really hope we get one of these for our birthdays...hint, hint!"

Being a parent is backbreaking work!

Another universal toy...DIRT!

My, how things have changed!

I think Grandpa Stanton would approve of this picture!

 And then...we got to see chickens!  The kids were so excited.  Allie was making a perfect impersonation of clucking!

Mike and Anthony...

I'm pretty sure I was starting to freak out here...I could remember how scared I used to be of chickens when I was a kid.  Could be because my brother and I used to chase our chickens around on our 4-wheeler...they would then chase us around with their beaks.  I swear this chicken was looking right at me ready to attack.

Flower for Momma!

We'll make him into a country boy yet!

Again...my little diva!

Anthony then became Cam and Allie's best friend...tickle tickle!

Best buds!

So close -- Cam, sit up!

Going....

going....

GONE!

So sweet!

"Momma...can we sell our house, go to the Please Touch Museum, and get to play in the country with a bunch of kids every weekend?"
