Uncle Shayn!

We decided to keep Uncle Shayn's impending arrival a secret from the kids so that it would be a fun surprise for them. He arrived late at night so during breakfast the next day we told the kids that we had a surprise for them, and I think that the last thing they expected was for a person to emerge from the guest bedroom, they were literally speechless. Well, for a brief second anyway. Uncle Shayn was quickly whisked away to look at every dollhouse and pirate ship on the premises. From that moment on it was lots of rough housing, tickle wars and adventures of spider hunting...and Auntie Ashley was almost completely forgotten until his departure! One day Kohen asked me in all seriousness if Uncle Shayn was Mr. Incredible-now that's a fan base! Every morning at the crack of dawn we could see three little sets of feet through the door crack, not so quietly whispering for us to get up. One morning Nathan and Shayn went golfing and when I opened my bedroom door in the morning, Aly tried to peer around me desperately asking, "is Uncle Shayn in there? Where did he go!?!" Well for me to say that the boys had a good time golfing is probably not doing it justice, Shayn has officially declared it his best golfing experience ever, and I have to admit they had a beautiful view:)
