ben was outnumbered

these pictures don't remotely capture the heart-filling joy i got from a visit of sarah and brennan.   

when they arrived we all smothered them which kind of lasted throughout the week.  brennan was safest when she was in the high chair; all other times she was fair game.  

kinsley had to show off her reading skills to her auntie.   

   caroline was mesmerized by the baby.   she also "protected" brennan by taking away any and every toy she tried to play with.   

 they mostly just lived an everyday life with us but we went a few places around town.

one of the only ways i am ever captured on film.   

                         first time swinging; a little uncertain
