More visitors and other nice things

Life is grand. We have been getting out of the house for mini adventures quite a bit, but those moments seem harder to document than the ones where we chill out in the house. So here's more of that.

Baby Creston met his namesake: Uncle Creston! Baby Creston has a lot to live up to considering how creative and accomplished Uncle Creston is.

Aunt Catherine looks so happy you can hardly tell that she was just evicted from her apartment! Yeah!

Ivy enjoys her baths, Creston not so much.

Ivy Carola, slumbering.

Erika Cohen visited from Boston and baked a delicious birthday carrot cake that we are still eating way too much of, sometimes for breakfast.

Mama Kate and Finn McKeinle stopped over for a visit. Finn proved that he is much bigger than his twin friends. He is a very handsome boy.

Cousin Jane is a foxy pregnant lady, due in July. Hooray for more cousins!

Sammy

Some people have wondered how Sammy is faring in all this ruckus. This is Sammy during her carefree Vermont days this Winter.

Without a doubt, her life is now different. But she seems to be enjoying her new little friends. The first night that we brought Creston and Ivy home, Sammy was intensely interested and got up to observe every time the twins made a sound. Now she's as sleep deprived as we are and attempts to snooze through all the nighttime squawking. She is always close at hand and often underfoot. We try to love her up as much as possible lest she feel like a totally forgotten child. That's why she gets her very own post.

Sitting around looking cute

We don't really go anywhere yet since we're waiting for 6 weeks to be up and post-C-section Mama is free to move around. But the weather was so nice, and Grandma Carola was in town to cook 1,001 exotic dishes, so we broke the rules and took a stroll in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

But mostly we just stay put and relax.

Together Forever

It's hard to tell if Ivy and Creston really notice each other yet. But we sure do like to take pictures of them together.

They're too big for this trick now.

Maybe Creston does notice Ivy after all...

And so Ivy notices Creston...whoops.

Family Visitors

We've been lucky to have so many visitors in the first few weeks. More family members have stopped by than what's captured here...we'll get you next time! Come back!
