North to Dakota

As I mentioned in my previous post, here are lots of fun photos from the week I spent in Minot.  It was fun, fun, fun to spend time with my delightful family.

This group shot turned out pretty well considering it was taken with the camera on a timer.

Krystal got out the bouncer for Makayla to use, but Daniel decided he needed to sit in it.  The best part was watching him back into it, bottom first!

Daniel and I took at least one walk a day, usually two.  One in the morning and one in the evening.

Here's a family walk with Uncle Russ and cousin Sophia. 

 I LOVE this picture of the parents reading to their children.

Adrianne and I went to Krystal's baby shower, given by her visiting teacher.

 Looove those pretty blue eyes that Sophia got from her mommy!

 Proud big brother Daniel didn't seem jealous of Makayla at all, but maybe it's because I was there to play with him and keep him busy while his mommy took care of Makayla.

Daniel didn't keep these sunglasses I bought him on for long, but he sure looked stylin' while he was wearing them!

 Daniel kindly sharing a cracker with his cousin Sophia.

 Sophia likes to carry things in her mouth like a puppy.  I gave her this book which is supposed to be indestructible and washable.  Sophia was putting it to the test.

 Here's a picture of just the cousins.  It's the only one I got that none of them are crying!  It will be interesting to try to get one with all five of the cousins when we gather in Michigan for Tyler's wedding.
