Quick Visit

Nate's mom, Shannon, and her 2 girls stopped by on their way to Chicago. They're staying the night in Dundee, at Justin's house. Anyway, we all went down there this evening to see them, and especially to meet 2-week-old Emily! WOWEE, what a little shrimp! She was born a healthy 7 lbs, 12 oz, but she was only 18.5 inches long!
It seems to be a family ritual to line up the cousins/grandkids on a couch and coerce them into a photograph. We were all pleasantly surprised at how smooth this photo session went! Left to right: Drew (5), Caela (3), Leah (20 mos.), Olivia (12 mos.), Evan (9 mos.), Brendan (7 mos.), and Emily (2 wks.). Phew!






Here's the little sweetie. I think I scared her with my flash.









I'm told Leah likes to scratch people's backs. I couldn't get her to do it for me!










All the kids playing so nicely






A sweet photo of me with my best girl...wow, her hair is really growing quickly!








Time to say goodbye...Olivia kept reaching for Grammy, who finally took her to say farewell. Okay, back to Daddy now...









...Poor baby kept reaching for Grammy! (I like Nate's face here.) As always, it was SO nice to see them again, and we hope you guys can get some rest!
