Summer Lovin' from Mempuh

So we had a visit from our Aunt Memuph (mee-muff), whose birth name is actually Meredith, this summer. Since she has moved to New York, we only "expect" a visit during the holidays; so a middle-of-the-summer visit was a real treat.

One of the great things about Aunt Mempuh is that she will rough-house with the boys


get in the pool fully clothed

and not "bat an eye" when the youngest one comes out in the yard clad only in a pull up and a Superman cape

We had another short, impromptu visit with Memuph this fall. She was able to bring cousin Libby Kate to Gabriel and John Mark's Fun Run at school, where she surprised both boys, neither of whom had the slightest idea that Aunt Memuph was not in New York but in their school yard!
