More Pictures

My favorite Eden smile!! The scrunchy nose and chubby cheeks. Oh so kissable!!!

Saturday we had a big picnic/hangout/family reunion/......All of Mark's family was at our house as well as some of his relatives from Baltimore. We had a smashing good time!! We ate, played badminton, ate, threw horse shoes, ate, watched fireworks, ate - well you get the idea. Lots of yummy food and lots of memories made. It was hard saying good-bye to John, Ashley and their babies. It is never easy saying good-bye. Even when we know we will see them again in 2 months. Thanks Christine for getting married and giving them a reason to come back quicker than normal. Sorry Ashley that this picture isn't great of you. I somehow picked the wrong picture. And thanks again for the outrageously funny shopping trip. Good times, good times. I enjoyed every minute we got to spend together. You are a phenomenal mother by the way!!
Here is Shane showing Uncle Dave something very fascinating.
Tristan somehow latched onto Dave for quite a while in the afternoon and Dave was kind enough to do whatever Tristan wanted to do. Very sweet!!
Shane making Caleb laugh. Shane has such a soft spot for babies. I found him numerous times playing with the twins in the living room and making them giggle.
Caleb

Jacqueline - oh so sweet!!
Caleb again. These two were so photogenic!!
This is the expression Eden kept giving Dave while listening to him talk. This is a pretty common expression when Dave starts rambling.
Suzanne has the touch with babies. She can keep them happy and they fall asleep so well for her. Caleb is sporting this cute helmet to help with the proper formation of his skull. He handles it so well - I know I wouldn't enjoy wearing a helmet 23 hours a day.
Dave and Jeff hanging out and catching up on life.

All these next pictures a really small since I got them off of John's Picasa album. I don't know - they are cute but you can't see them very well. So....my apologies.

All the cousins on the Eveleth side.
So, we are almost completely recovered from the busy week squeezing in as many visits as possible with John and Ashley. And now we are gearing up for the "big" cabin this weekend with my extended family. A highlight of the summer for all of us.
