Lots of Family and pictures to prove it!


It was sure fun to have lots of family in town this last month to meet and play with the kids (and us)! We got to have Inger, Tyler and Elin up from CA, Mark and Kathy out from Chicago, Mary and Maynard out from MN, and Sarah, Brooks and Ida en route from New Zealand to MN, where they are moving. The kids loved their special time with all their family so much! Baby Ida and Elin were rock stars to them all, so there were plenty of 'it's my turn to hold her now!" with both of them. Elin was too quick for most to hold onto, but Ida was still pretty immobile, so whether she liked it or not, she usually had a cousin or two in her face. Daron and I would also fight over her! Ahhh....the sweetness of babies!

Not much sweeter than your 6 yr. old reading to a baby cousin...
The love was reciprocal

Notice how Ida is happy here and then her uncle went and stole her away from me....
At least she forgave him later! (and so did I -LOL!)

Can you find the missing egg?

Fun times with Kathy, Mark, Grandma and Grandpa J!

More fun with Grandpa and Grandma H. with Elin and Tyler- Who needs the traditional stroller? You can fit more in a wheelbarrow and Kwame much prefers this!

Isn't this the cutest scrunched face ever?

It was 12:16 PM (afternoon);) I don't actually know why it was then anyways because I had done it earlier that morning, but must not have officially posted it yet. Oh well.
