Just look at this sweet face...
She's a doll and I'm her proud aunt. Little Molly was the main reason we decided to runaway to St. George for the week. She was so worth it!
Sam and Max loved checking out their new cousin. Sam loved 'his' little feet, 'his' little head, and all of 'his' things!
Max didn't know what to think of Molly Ann. He took desperate measures to make sure we knew HE was still the baby. He was fascinated with Molly's carseat, bed, and binkies, but he was not at all amused by the fact that his own momma was paying so much attention to this baby girl. He turned into quite the momma's boy during the week and wanted to be wrapped, snuggled and held just like his newborn cousin.
St. George, even with its 100+ degree heat, is still a family favorite. We swam and swam and swam. Sam surprised me with his fearlessness in the pool and behind the boat. 
Max loved the water too, and after watching Sam, his reservations about jumping into the pool quickly subsided. He was full of energy the entire trip! After hearing Josh, Kelsey, and Ally all say "How do you ever handle your kids by yourself?" I think it's safe for me to say that Max has made them all a little more leery about having children of their own. He may be a handful, but he's definitely a handsome one.
While in St. George, Sam made it clear that Gram is his best friend and favorite person, ever. He loved golfing with Pops and being teased by Josh. He's really so grown up and surprised us with his sweet compliments. My favorite 'Sam Compliment' of the week..."Your veins are cute."
Most of our trip was spent soaking up time with the Morgan clan, but we did get to see a few other favorite people as well.
Sam with two of his great-grandmothers...
Me with Liz, the bride-to-be on Saturday, and Ashley, my fellow mid-westerner! We felt old thinking that we've been out of high school for nearly 10 years?!
And of course, the Dockter cousins that are finally back in America! And even though we don't live close...we're at least in the same country!
Our trip was wonderful. There's just something about getting together with family. It feels good. We didn't feel totally complete without Eric though. We'll have to bring him along next time.

I'm laughing at Leisy's comment. In almost all the pictures, you're holding Molly. You gonna announce something? jk. ;)
What a fun trip. I love how much alike you and your sister and Dad and brother and grandma look. What a beautiful little girl! Molly is such a cute name. I bet it is fun to be getting more cousins on your side of the family. We miss you guys. Matthew asks me "when we move we are going to Indianapolis right mom" That would be so fun.
How fun!! Family trips are the best!
Loved your pictures of little Molly, she is beautiful! Also, loved the picture of Max in the baby bouncer, I think I have seen Kahler do that a time or two. And the picture of Sam dead on the golf course. Too much fun!
Hope all is going well for your cute family in Indy!
